Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mr Agnry Faic 4]

Why doesn't this have points?!

I always look for games with medals even if the medals come with no points. Thank you for giving me meaning on doing this as I have found the best game with no medal points out there! The music is great and the overall is just fantastic. I think the highest combo I ever got as 93. Yes, it was very devastating when I had to stop that combo. I find that the best way to beat this game is to do a color and then try to get every face of that color on the screen.

The hardest part was the one where you had to switch colors on the side. I kept accidentally changing because that's where the other angry faces were. This is quite different than other agnry faic games I have played, but still manages to be great! It's weird how the cheerful music contrasts with the agnry faic. I do hope you eventually get medals with points for this game. Thank you for this fun time!

MintPaw responds:

The medals don't give you points currently. This is because Tom hasn't approved them, feel free to unlock them. You'll get the points in due time.

[Armor Games Snowball 2007]

Pretty fun

This was nice to play because it allowed you to cover a lot of ground with your single snowball. It's great fun to just watch it go along. For those of you who do not know, you can run into the other pieces of snow (like the snowmen) to become bigger. The best part is how terrified everyone looks as the snowball gets bigger. It is also fairly easy to get a score. I am glad that you pointed out that this was a game in its own right and it is not appropriate to call it a copy.

One good thing was the simplicity. Everything is detailed in such a nice way, but the only problem is that everything does look a bit small. I guess that makes the game easier, but it makes it a little weird to look at. You should also put in some music, but you did make the other sound effects wonderful! I love how everyone that you absorbed falls out when you hit something.

[Scribble 2!]

It's back!

I think this was not quite as good as the first one, but still really great to play. The strongest point is that you really try to reach in to our inner child with these games. All of us have memories of using a wide variety of crayons to draw or to connect the dots. For something not that detailed, the graphics were great. Then again, I guess the matter of how well it is detailed depends more on how good the player is! I had no idea what was going to happen next and did not even know what some of those things were (Cassipedia or something?).

The music is really catchy and it's the kind that makes you want to keep on playing. It's a little hard to do it when the gaps become wider, but still good. Who knew scribbling could be so appealing to an adult audience (assuming adults play this)? The best effect is how the crayon makes those cool colors whenever it works. I even liked hearing the little "bloop" sounds when I connected the dots.

[Madpet Half-pipe]

Fairly entertaining

This seems like it had more effort put into it than the average game. I still did not like it as much as I could because there was not that much detail put into it. The positive sides are that the graphics are good and work in their simplicity. I also thought it was funny when a character fell on the halfpipe and fell off the screen. Yeah, that was supposed to be something to avoid, but still funny to watch. It does not have that much of a point but most games here don't anyway.

It's fun to just see the little animal fly around. You actually are avoid to find a surprising amount of tricks you can pull with the controls you are given. It is still probably better to throw in some more stuff. A suggestion would be to make the character move in the middle of the screen. It would not look as graceful when he lands, but would give you more freedom.

[Platform Maze]

Wow!

This is one hard game and one where you simply do not have the time to concentrate. I had no idea there was a time limit at first and that got pretty annoying. I still have to really give you credit for coming up with a very creative game. The graphics were great, especially the way the tiles were put in. It would be hard for me to put any advice in this review because it's so complicated! I think the more simplistic design really contrasts with how much you have to think.

One funny part was how the tiles made that funny "swish" sound they made when they disappeared. The goofiness kept me going so I could hear it more. You could have put a little more detail and made it a little simpler. In case you people did not read the author's comments (as I did not at first) you get rid of the box by pressing "Enter". I thought it would be hard enough just to get to the other tile!

[Britneys Baby Dash]

Good but hard

This was quite a difficult game because you simply had to really keep up with it. I was at least glad that you could kill those police officers by throwing diapers at them. What you really have to look for are the planes. They can appear at any time, like when you are distracting yourselves with the policemen on the ground. The graphics in this were really funny and I especially liked how the baby looked. He kind of reminded me of Ike from "South Park".

Everything here is represented in a very clear way so the gameplay is pretty steady. The hardest part is having to let go of the baby to defend it. I swear you simply can not jump over a police officer and completely avoid him! The atmosphere was really goofy and it seems like it's been awhile since someone made fun of Britney Spears. This was before the infamous head shaving thing.

[The Great War: WWI]

Very interesting game

What I thought was really cool about this game is that it had such a strange scenario put onto it. Some of the machines looked like they were horse drawn and the others were more modern. I guess I'm not that good at it, as I did not even realize that there were more enemies on the other side of the screen! The best effect is probably how you can focus on shooting one enemy. You do have to be quick as these guys eventually come after you. It takes much strategy to get past even the first level.

I really liked the graphics and thought it was as good as most of the really good stuff you have made. It is interesting when a game requires a lot of strategy even though it has a simple outlook. Even then, it manages to look nice all around. I guess it would be too whiney to suggest the gameplay be a bit easier. At least some people are acknowledging the importance of World War I.

[Particles]

It gets better

I thought this was a good game because you were drawn in to play it longer. Now, there is really not much detail with just a blank background so I did not like that part. I do not know why, but I still enjoyed it even though there was little detail all throughout. I thought maybe I was going to learn something about particles, but I guess I didn't. Well, maybe I was supposed to recognize their patterns or something. What's interesting about a game like this is that you can choose to either go all around or stay in one place until a ball gets near.

The best way for me to play it was to move away from the balls. The good part is that some of the times they pump into each other so they lump together and there is a wider area to avoid them. The sound effects were nearly spot-on with a game of pool. This was a fun little game to play it was just not elaborate. That can of course work because you avoid superfluous stuff.

[Xtreme Cliff Diving]

Brilliant!

This was tons of great fun to play and I am very surprised that it has a fairly low rating. I mean, anything Luis works on should be something good! What is really cool is that you manage to justify all of the goofy stuff that was going on. If you were diving off a cliff, why would you want to be collecting money anyway? Of course, to pay for your funeral! I do not know what all those landmines (or rather, uh, sky mines) were doing there, but it was hilarious to see them being held up by balloons.

What I did not notice at first was that you can move around below, but you are still brought up. It was nice how you did not die when you hit the skymines (that is copyrighted!). I was almost thinking you were supposed to collect them too. The graphics were great, especially with how the coins were given dimension. Not much for location, but still a great game.

[Boxhead :The Rooms]

Jon Bambo?

This game is simply fantastic as is nearly every game in this wonderful series. This is really the kind of game where you can just go out and kill zombies for an infinite amount of time. I do like the other versions better as you have more space, but this was still great. The coolest part is the animation. While the zombies themselves do not have many defining characteristics, I love how you drew them with colors and shadow effects. It really gives you the feeling you wanted to make this as cool looking as possible.

I only now figured out that the main character's name is a pun on Rambo. Every sound effect is extremely realistic and the weapons are as well. I think my favorite thing to do is block the entrances with a bunch of barrels and then blow everyone up at once. Trust me, that can really help you in holding off zombies. The action that you create yourself is always so slick.
