Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Newgrounds Pass]

Good enough

I liked this game and not just because I could look at other people's comments for the answers. I think that you are not allowed to advance on Level 8 until you actually finish the maze. I tried looking ahead and it would not let me do that. I think there's a glitch on Level 17, because I am not able to click "Jack In". I believe I played this game before at one point, but never reviewed it until now. The sequels to this were a lot better because they were more elaborate.

This was still fun, because you did not know what was going to happen next. Congrats on your Underdog of the Week award, if that is anything you are proud of. I guess I do not have to tell people that this game now has medals. It was nice to be able to choose different kinds of music, because the same kind can get repetitive after awhile. It seems to be both a puzzle game and a trivia game.

Fairly good

The best part in this was easily how good the graphics were. While I could not notice much action going on, it was still good with how they were drawn. The details were all nice, but the main flaw was that the gameplay was a bit too simple. At the same time, I could not really understand what these characters were supposed to be doing or how their powers worked. It looks more like an RPG to me. Yes, I know other games have done this before, but this was not the best example.

It is still something I would recommend, as it was simply quite fun. I felt the designs for the things on the blocks were really unique themselves and nice to look at. Thank you for giving us hints on what to do next. I will probably never be able to get more than three in a row. It took me awhile to realize you simply switched the tiles around.

Best entry ever!

I have no clue why this is not one of the most popular of all time as it is the best of the entire series! Apart from the fact that the animation is absolutely gorgeous, the gameplay is great as well. In case anyone has trouble, in the scene with pressing the letters, it changes when you retry. I realized it wanted me to press Spacebar at that moment and not just at any time. This would have been great as a flash as the animation and story are simply great. I was seriously not expecting Shorty to get shot.

I feel as though you felt more for the characters in this one as they had a lot of emotion. Gosh, this is just something that is great to simply look at! These are not just stick figures, they are three dimensional characters with their own stories and personalities. The sound is great and syncs well too. I hope this wins Daily Feature and bigger awards!

Your name?

Wow, I had no idea that your (Barfquestion) real name was Grey Gerling. I think this was probably one of your lesser games because it did not have a lot going on. It was pretty much just those hearts that showed up on the screen. What I did really enjoy was how this still had the great artwork you guys are known for. How impressive of you to submit not one, but two Valentine's Day games! It could have been a bit easier to get some medals, you know when you got bigger and stuff.

The gameplay is interesting because there are advantages and disadvantages as you progress. By becoming bigger, you could absorb more hearts, but it was harder to move around. I like how the characters appeared when you got bigger. It has to be one of the most pleasant games I have ever played. I mean, it's absolutely nothing but happy looking hearts!

Nice personal goal

A pity you could not submit this for the NG Game Jam, but this was still really good. The best thing about it is that the graphics were really fun to look at even if they were a little weird. BTW, I am glad to say that my computer is fixed and I am back on this website. The best thing about it was getting the upgrades to speed up the game. My suggestion is that the best one is easily the one that gives you more stars. As far as I know, getting to the next level is the best way to get achievements.

It was a bit hard to understand how to get the medals and I could only get one, so I will explain that one. You get the "Oompf" level simply by hitting your head on the side of wherever you are. It was funny how you did not automatically restart when you died. I suggest you put in some more detail, but the color effects are still nice. It's also neat to hear that sound effect when you get a star.

Very fun!

I thought this might actually be something more authentic like how it was shown at the beginning. What I mean is, I thought it would be more about actually giving us more online games. Then again, this website already has that down by a longshot. It was just great to shoot these zombies over and over. At first, I was afraid we were just going to shoot that one zombie at the beginning. If only the graphics of the whole game were like those in the opening cutscenes.

It did get a little annoying with how you had to manually go out and collect the coins. Still, that does give you the oppurtunity to at least kill more zombies! The powerups were also presented in a nifty and original way. Be sure that your buddy goes wherever you go. The graphics are still very well designed and give you a great sense of classic arcade games!

[The humans are dead]

It was different

I am generally not a fan of board games when played on the computer like this. This was fairly interesting because it showed something quite different than what I am used to. The best part was how well the graphics were designed and how creative it was. Even with the help from the tutorial, I could not really get far. I guess that board games like this are simply not my cup of tea. A person more familiar with this gameplay would probably do a lot better.

It was at least nice to look at and you had little idea what was going to happen next. Usually when you hear of a robot apocalypse it's about the humans trying to survive. This time around, the humans are already dead and you play the robots fighting each other. I imagine it's similar to what things were like controlled by humans. The little robots looked a lot like bugs.

[Belial Chapter 2.5]

Here we go again

This was not as good as the previous one I played, and that's not just because this has yet to have medals. It was still very enjoyable because the animation was as good as ever. I was kind of hoping Lilith would give me some more help. It was weird how I was able to find so many materials just floating around, but I could not use any of them! If you are going to use the walkthrough, I do not think there is much point in using the essences. I was not able to gain anything from the hints, either.

It is good to see this character back and have him (or should I say, the player) interact with the world around him. I like the notion of going into your own ear. I have always been fascinated by recursion. It's a bit of a bummer how he can not use his powers, but it's great there is so much detail put into these characters. I have no clue what to expect next.

I found it!

I surprise this did not get more views. I mean, not only does it have medals, but it's in the "Christmas 2010" section! The coolest part was how this simply went on and on and after awhile the only way I could stop was by simply having some outside force to stop me playing! I would have to say that the aerial view is not one in my favor. It's still great to play because of the endless hordes of zombies, something that will never die out! My score was 811 and I doubt I will ever play that again.

This was a game that was really kind to you, because every health powerup restored it to the full brim! The weapons did not really help much in terms of difference, but the fire gun was the best. I thought you got the secret medal by shooting the houses down! Now, I should not say how to get a secret medal, but I can tell you how to NOT get a secret medal. Merry belated Christmas, friend!
