Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Cloud Soldier]

Cloud?

When I first saw this title, I thought it was going to be a tribute to "Final Fantasy VII". Dang, that makes me feel as though I need to get out more. Anyway, this was a great game because it was extremely clearcut and you had to simply shoot as many times as you could. The confusing thing was when that red arrow came down. I thought it meant that an enemy was coming up, but it actually meant a mountain came up. Then when it went to the other side, it really did mean that!

The graphics in this were really good and I loved how there was no attempt to be flashy. It works with being realistic, except for that weird lightning weapon. In case anyone's wondering, when one row of planes come from the top single file, the next row come from the bottom single file. Not much of a story, but it doesn't need one. The simplistic style makes it addictive.

[The Sagittarian 2]

Nice quality

As a fan of the zombie genre, this was fairly entertaining to play. What I did not like about it was how it did not really have any action and was more like a sim dating game. I guess it's okay to make something different, but definitley not something I am used to. The game still works because it manages to have some really good detail. I think you can get into these character's heads easily given the conversations they have. It seems like you could just click over and over to get ahead.

Still, really anything done with zombies with fine artwork works for me. I liked the music being played and felt that it gave off a more realistic feeling. It seemed like you were being fairly creative with the different kinds of zombies you talked about. If I play this long enough, I know I will get those secret medals. When they're all secret, I'm bound to at least accidentally get one.

[ShellShock Live v1.0+]

Takes getting used to

I have played games like this before but never on this website. Or at least not ones on this website that are so authentic to what I played before! While it takes me awhile to get used to using games like this, it's still worth playing because of just how fun it is. I definitley had some problems as I kept getting blasted by the other guy. You really have to learn to get right to your enemy and get the right weapon! This could have used some more detail.

It does have the right idea of using the setting of a desert (at first, at least). It makes sense because you would not have to worry about people getting killed. Well, if I thought about the moral implications of this game, I would never even play. I can still appreciate you for trying to hook people up like this, even though it's not my cup of tea. It's been awhile since I played a guy from you, kchamp.

[Flamants Roses Puzzle]

What's left?

This game had a decent amount of effort put into it, but it had several main flaws. The biggest one was probably the fact that it had no sound. It was also weird with how the pictures did not just fit into the frames when they were supposed to. The coolest thing was that it was fairly easy. I liked how the pieces were arranged one on top of each other, so you could not see them all at first. It has been awhile since I have seen flamingos.

This seems to have potential to be a much better game. The design is good, but there are elements lacking in terms of detail. It just does not seem like anything that elaborate. You can still make something good when it's not elaborate, but there should be more features like sound effects. Maybe it gets harder as it goes on.

[Sushi Cat 2]

More of the same!

While this was not that different than the first one, I still have to love this because it was also just like the first one! Everything was done so well with detail put into everything. The best thing was that one powerup where you got to be able to just click on the food as you went down. I don't know what the gold does for you, it just looks cool. The music is also really sweet and simplistic. I think there was a new style used, with not everything in the level being on one screen.

It helps that I am a such cat lover, even though I have never had sushi. It's just precious to see that little cat get fatter as the game goes on. He just looks so happy in his roly-poly body. I am glad something this cute managed to win Daily Feature and had some popular names work on it. You guys all did a good job on this game.

[Invisible Ink]

Well done

I remember how I used to draw things in the air a little myself when I was little. I can not hate this game because everything is just done really well. It seems to be exactly what you would envision in a game that features invisible ink. I still can not help but say that I am just not good at this game at all and needed every hint just to get past the first level! At least you were nice enough to have different degrees of difficulty. The best way to figure this out is to probably get yourself a pen and paper and draw it out in real life.

There could have been some more perks like maybe some more sound. The artwork that you could see (with the pencil) was at least very well done. It was also nice to play a game that seemed to truly have originality. I suggest everyone to work on the easy levels at first. This is a game that really requires an active imagination.

[AC130 SkyCover]

Not too bad of a game

This was pretty fun to play because it was a fairly different game. I am aware of how things like these have been used in real life. The downside of it was the controls as it was quite difficult to control something when you had the whole landscape to take after. I am so glad the troops themselves manage to get in hits. Hint: it really helps if you try to shoot a space between two enemies to kill both of them. The music was fine and fairly suiting.

The graphics are pretty good and there is a good amount of detail put into everything. To think, I did not read the instructions at first and shot my own guys. Oh, another hint, make sure your shots are far away from your own people. While not the best game out there, it still is enjoyable for some time. Do work on the controls, though.

[Snow White. Back To Life]

Those cats are orange

It's interesting to always learn about the darker side of some fairy tales. Luckily, this one did not have a lot of blood and gore in it. The cool thing, however, was that there was a lot of detail put into everything, especially the enemies. I am surprised that I was able to get so many medals with not even knowing what most of them were! This is a game where you really have to keep on fighting. This is not just to get the medals, but also to win the game.

I really could not recognize that character as being Snow White at all. I kind of think she looks more like Stocking from that anime. It was great to see the cool combos I could make simply by pushing random buttons. I can not believe there was not a single combo that had the combination of ASS. It seems like such an obvious thing.
