Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[FPA: Sneak Peek]

Tons of fun

I am so glad you went out and made another installment into this series! I thought that from the "sneak peek" description, it would just be like a level, or even a trailer. It turned out to be something far better and it's great to see you work what's best for you. I have not heard of XBLA or PSN, but if it's a professional gaming system, my hat's off to you! The coolest thing about this was getting the kick the spiders! Call me cruel, but dang is that the most fun you can have with this game.

The graphics are great and better than ever! The coolest thing was how there was so much detail put into every level and every level was also unique. The main character just has so much spunk in him with how he moves around everywhere. The controls are great with how he can jump across really any distance he wants. This is great now and forever!

[Sky Patrol]

Pretty good game

This was nice because it was just such a freaking easy game to understand! All you had to do was fly around as much as you wanted and shoot everything in sight! My biggest complaint is that there could have been some more detail. I was thinking there wouldn't be any difference in the level, but the designs of the enemy ships are different! The coolest thing was all the freedom even if you did not have much control. I suggest you put in some more of a background next time.

Overall, it's still good because it shows how much fun you can have with something so simple. This is what made the early arcade games classic. While not as good as those, it seems like you really had those games in mind. The "Game Over" screen is also really cool too. It took me awhile to notice the score in the upper right hand corner.

[Bowling Alley Defense]

Very creative!

I am not a fan of bowling (in both real life and in video games) but this was quite a change. Everything here was really represented well and it was nice to see the game go along. My biggest complaint is that it was, well, really, really hard. There were so many enemies coming after you and only one ball to use. If you are good at this game, then my props to you for having great hand-eye coordination. I like the sound it makes when you hit the enemies. Are those creeps supposed to be red dragons or something?

Fighting Larry Bird was hard as when I did hit him, I lost. Now, I guess that's just a coincidence but it still came off as weird to me. Another good thing was how the graphics were so smooth given how there was not much detail. I rarely play games that get featured in two section of the "Games" part of the website. Strange, but you have to work with it.

[Ball Revamped 5: Synergy]

Best yet!

It's amazing how each entry in this series just gets better. The greatest part about this was that it was very easy to understand and I liked looking for the new things the levels had in store for me. It was not terribly difficult like a lot of other games are in this series. It paced itself well and had quite a bit going on. Granted, it's still a bit irritating but what matters is that the graphics have gotten better. I am surprised at how you can make the graphics better when it's just a ball and some background!

Thank you so much for making it easy to touch the screen thing. The sound effects are as creative as ever as well. You guys really put in a large variety of backgrounds so it was not just the same thing over and over. I didn't even try to go near those green stars as they did not seem to help me (they made me bigger, I believe). It was funny to watch the ball shifting through the metal with the blue star powerup.

[World of Mutants]

Old school indeed

I had fun playing this game because it had a really joyous tone to it and it was just fun. While it was pretty hard (especially with the boss) and the controls could have been better, still playable. The thing I enjoyed most was the unique designs of all the mutants. It was also easy to recognize how weak or strong one was by their appearance. The sounds were good, especially how the guns fired. It was really useful to have those blue ships give you powerups all the time.

Some of the time, the graphics looked a little odd, but still good. I suggest maybe working with the controls, as I had problems with moving. I guess I might just not be good at this game. At least I managed to get two medals, which is more than what I would get at a game I stink at. It reminded me of "Naruto" for some reason because I thought it said Tails Beasts.

[-The Crusher-]

Eh, not bad

When you have a game that is nothing but you going around destroying everything in sight, how can you go wrong? I still thought this had some flaws, like how it seemed like you were destroying the same things over and over. You can just keep on pressing attack at the edge of the screen and win. Of course, there are lots of other things like flying superheroes and fire hydrants. This game is sure long and I am glad you guys put on upgrades and everything. I guess I was having so much fun destroying everything I did not even notice it.

The graphics were good too. The main "crushing" guy looked really cool and cartoonish to me. The overall style of the game is good too, with all the nice technical appearances of the loading screens and stuff. The game is shown in a very clearcut manner. While not complicated, it makes it fun with the different things you can do.

[Numballs]

Num?

When I saw the medals, I thought it was going to teach me about the elements or something. I am starting to think that that may in fact have made a more fun game. It was still cool to play this, if only because it just goes to show how many things you can do with balls. I mean, every single level design on every level is different! There are so many medals to get, you would think it would be easy. Each medal, however, has a very specific way of getting it.

I like the music and I know that I have heard it before. It just suits the game style of playing games that do not have much sound in them. It was kind of hard to combine them with the space button. I would still recommend this to someone, even if it may not turn out to be very rewarding. Geez, do you have to be fast.

[Interlocked]

That's different

I really have no idea how this game works but at least I was able to get past the first level. This is a great game because it is extremely innovative and looks for something new. The music is nice and soothing as well. The coolest part was being able to look at every single so you knew every way you could get out of it. This is something that Math majors do in their spare time and I am not one of them.
While there is not a detailed background, it certainly delivers.

It is amazing how many designs you can come up with for this game. I think a lot of people would not want to play it only because it is so hard! It does still bring about a great sense of wonder and awe to the player. There are so many parts and it makes you realize how each part is valuable, kind of like the parts of a watch. Yeah, I know that's cliched.

[Super Fishing]

Cute little game

This was a fun little game to play because it was quite adorable. You can tell there was effort put into it as it had really everything you would need in a fishing game. It does not try to be flashy or anything because a fishing game does not need that. While it could have been more detailed, the graphics are still fairly decent. It's funny to accidentally pick up the underwear. It's fairly easy to learn as all you have to do is put your rod down and pick up the fish.

I suggest that you put a little more detail into the next game. I do not understand what that dark cloud was doing there. If nothing else, this was a very realistic game as that is about as exciting as fishing in real life can get. The colors are lush and give a good, happy feeling to the player. I love how you do not have to click to catch the fish.

[Shred Master]

I can't shred

I had trouble with this game at first because I thought you had to just put your ball over the other ball to advance. You have to press Spacebar and that can get annoying. I guess my main problem is that I am just not good at these kinds of games. I have played musical instruments before, but the only one was a piano. I don't think I have ever played these games on a console, so I am not prepared for them. I also felt this could have had some more detail put into it.

I was thinking it would feature Pico but he was there because it this "Rock out" contest. I will say that if a person is a fan of the Guitar Hero or the music genre should enjoy this. While not detailed, everything is put into a very clear detail. You could put in some more backgrounds, but at least there was a wide selection of music being used. Be sure to keep up with it as quickly as possible.
