Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Brutal Racing - NA 2010]

Well made but hard

It was really cool to see a game like this with such good graphics. I am surprised you do not have a more well known sponsor like freeworldgroup or MiniClip. The thing I did not like was how it was just so freaking hard! Everything started out fine for me, but when I had to turn it just fell apart! I guess I just have to make sure that never happens as I can never recover from it! The most frustrating thing is how I make only the slightest touch of a button to change direction and then I hit the other side of the race track!

Still, this was admirable because it had some really good graphics. I loved how I could just drive over the cones so easily. I guess someone who is a lot more used to racing games could play this. The backgrounds (especially on the title screen) were really cool as well. The music was quite appropriate and had most of what makes a racing game of high quality.

[Pina Pony]

Lots of fun!

It was hard for me to tell if the screen flipped around because I touched the spikes or not. I guess it was not, because when I did touch them, I turned into candy. I just really enjoyed how adorable this game turned out to be. It seems like something for a "My Little Pony" website that turned out to be for everyone. I love how adorable the graphics are and how cute the pinata talks. You have to watch for how many jumps you can make as there are certainly limits.

It was so fun because it was just so full of joy and energy. I loved hearing the pinata talk and say, "Yay!" all the time. It's just cute to watch it jump really high and collect all the sugary treats and teddy bears and stuff. While the premise is simple, it works because no one can deny it is so dang cute! Congradulations for making an adorable game tons of fun to play!

[The Underrated Art Collab]

Really good

I am glad that this went from a 3.15 to a 3.22 simply when I watched it again! It's too bad these medals do not have points. As far as I can tell, as they are not listed, you get them simply by viewing all of the profiles. I was unexpectedly impressed at how good these drawings were. It just goes to show that you should never judge something as being cheap if it has no medals. It is easily the best thing you (BanglaBoy96) ever worked on.

The best artwork was from Boredouttamymind and Sunshinda Fox. There was a lot of variety in this pictures and it was so great to see different characters being shown. This is indeed very underrated stuff. I do not review things on the art portal, so I am always eager to look at collabs like this. I hope you all had a great Valentine's Day too!

Great to hear it Ericho! XD
Thanks

[Windows Rubbish SP1 BETA]

Could be better

It was kind of weird to watch this because I kept thinking I could do it better on my own computer. I guess that is only because my real computer went through a bad virus. Hey, maybe you could find some way to more accurately show off an actual virus in this! I just feel as though this has been done many times before and better. I still thought it was not the worst because it was entertaining in how cheesy it was. Given that the computer here was supposed to have viruses, I guess that was the point.

All the icons seem to be pretty authentic. I think that I would know as I just recently interacted with them right now as I use my actual computer. I liked how you could use a new username and password. I simply used the same password as my username here. Wait, does that mean that someone else could use that and hack into my account on this game?!

No it doesn't. Man everytime you play this you can enter a new pass.

[Arkandian Crusade]

What a crusade!

When I was facing off against the first enemy, I was not able to get barely any damage at all! I hope it was part of the game to lose to him, because there would be no way for me to advance otherwise. When the game started, that was when the real fun began. It's hard to tell if using the harder attacks are even worth it. They are so rare (for me) it seems like just constantly doing the light attacks would work better. The graphics were nice and quite innovative.

The best thing is easily the screen where you get to wander around. I like how you do not get to see the rest of the screen unless you advance on to that part. Now, this is a game that takes awhile to beat, so you're going to want to get the medals if you do. The character I chose kind of looked like Mr. Spock. My icon on the screen appeared to be my character's face on a coin!

[Alice in Spaceland 2]

Better than I expected

I recognized that girl as being from the "Touhou" video games. While I personally know little about the series and have actually never played it, I recognize it for being popular on the Internet. It was really cute how every blast was actually a minature version of herself! The sprite work with her was really well done, especially with how she contrasted with the more simplistic design of the enemies. I just loved hearing the little "boop boop boop" sounds when she fired. Be sure to make the screen large enough to see the enemies.

I am going to assume her name is Alice and it sure reminded me of Alice In Wonderland for its surrealism. I guess some of the graphics could be better, but the main point is to have fun with this game. It's completely ridiculous and quite cute. I especially loved Alice's mobility and being able to move around. It took me awhile to realize she could do that.

[Mutant Uprising]

Fairly interesting

When I heard the name I thought it was going to be similar to X-Men. You know, like society was segregating the mutants and this was their uprising. This was still pretty fun to play if it was a bit too simple. It's cool how you let yourself visualize what is going on. Word of advice: Do not open the door as the elderly woman will melt your face with acid. Even that part was really well written, you might want to consider being a horror story writer. It was not really a point and click game as you chose what to do next.

It did a good job of creating a spooky atmosphere. Pity I am playing this shortly after Valentine's Day and not Halloween. The music is fairly creepy and I like how you put a lot of work into the narrative making it seem more like a short story. I do wish that you could put in more detail than just the same screens. Congrats on being so highly rated.

[Operation Triplane Norden]

Can be hard

I guess I am just new at this game because it is quite difficult for me to get far at all! The graphics are actually great, it's just that it's so frustrating to play! I know that I have to keep the up button constantly going, but I keep runnning out of fuel. The best thing to do is to always keep a look out for them. I felt this game would have been more far if you had been able to go to the other side of the screen to further anticipate what was coming up. I still have to praise it for being really authentic.

It's not often I play a game that takes place in World War I. It is great to see such smooth graphics and a nice tutorial to help you along the way. Even when you fail miserably and crash it's cool to see you explode in the water! Not to sound morbid, but if you're bad at a game you might at least look forward to that. The sounds were always quite authentic.

[Puny Humans Must Die]

Not bad for a short game

The best thing about this was how you were able to attack using the same ship while it was still onscreen. Another cool thing was how you the stronger ships were only half destroyed when they were hit. While the blocks aren't attacking you, you have to get rid of them. You would think the ships would simply fly out of the way. It was also confusing to find out the buildings were still up after destroying most of them on fire. The graphics could have been better, but they were overall decent.

The game needs improvement in that it could be a bit more flashy. The ships and enemies could have some better design. The ships looked kind of alien for being made by humans. It was interesting to reverse the role where you were the enemy this time. The funniest design was the orange one because it looked like he had a nose.
