Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Spank]

How simple

The stuff you make is generally good, but this game did feel like it was kind of lacking. I mean, it is just the same thing of spanking whenever you see the word. It also appears to be just one level. I suggest that next time you try to make it harder as the levels go on or create variety by having different backgrounds or different things to spank. It is a little funny to be able to spank Homer like that over and over. The music is fairly nice too.

I did enjoy this game a little bit if only because I was able to improve on it so quickly! I mean, first I got an "F" and on my second try I got a "B"! Another good thing is that the music also manages to create a sense of wonder. You should go into more detail and while single button games can be fun, they should still have more detail. I will not spank myself for a bad grade!

[Retron]

Too easy or hard?

I guess I should not spoil it for anybody, but the gameplay shown in this is just very well done. Congradulations on winning the Weekly 5th Place when this did not win any other award! The coolest part was how you had no idea what was going to happen next. The layout is in fact fairly simple but the gameplay more than makes up for it. After awhile, you can make it easier on yourself by just pressing fire over and over. Objects/enemies seldom hit you if you continue firing in the same direction.

This is the kind of game where it's an exercise to just figure out and is as much of a puzzle game as a shooter game. There could be some more detail put in, but still very good. I like the music you used. You seem to have real depth onto the screen not just with the puzzle effects, but how it goes when you just die. This was a creative game and I am glad the controls were simple.

[alien exterminator]

Good and clearcut

This is a game that works very well because you are really able to simply go out and do what you need to. At first, I thought it would be more like an RPG and I am glad it was not. The best thing is that you give your player a lot of room to go around and shoot those aliens. It definitley gets a lot harder as it goes on and quickly. You have to form strategy by specifically looking at how the guys are coming. It seems to be realistic as you can not just shoot wherever you want and bullets do not go through the background when firing.

It was also fun to just shoot those little bushes and trees while nothing else was going on. The designs of the aliens are good, but need to be a little fancier. The music was also fairly fine. I like how you have such a large space to go and fight so you can form strategy by running to a different part of the level. The sound effects seem in order too.

[Arm of Revenge]

Lots of fun

Woah, it seems like it's been awhile since I've played a game by Funnaut but it's been well worth the wait! This is an extremely complicated game and it's one where simply throwing punches and kicks isn't going to cut it. You really have to learn every single skill and time it perfectly. My only complaint is that these guys are just so freaking hard to kill! At least the graphics are fantastic and the gameplay is very straight forward. You really worked to put a story into this game as well.

Everything in here just looks so good, especially the character designs as they move so smoothly over the screen! The music was pretty good, too. It is fairly hard, but the main point is that you get a lot of oppurtunites to try out your moves. This seems to be just like something I would see in a real arcade game. I hope this game becomes professional or whatever it is you have planned for it.

[Miragine War!]

Very good game

I am generally not a fan of these games where you show the battlefield like this. This was a great exception because the graphics were great and so was the gameplay! The best thing about the gameplay is that it is just so easy as all you have to do is move your buttons over and over the screen! I can never understand RPGs anyway, so the easier the better! The music is great and gives off a very triumphant tune. Each enemy and ally has a very unique design that makes you want to earn money just to see it.

You also give a very clear outline of what you work with given the use of the wide map. You would never guess from the color descriptions these guys would have so much depth. This is one of your better games and boasts of being impressive on every level. It's a little long to beat the enemy, but definitley worth playing. Even the music gets better as the game goes on!

[Alpha Force]

Why isn't this more popular?

It's too bad this is not popular on this website, as of course Newgrounds does have the most games! The thing I really liked was how everything was presented in such an orderly manner. It was great to see the weapons become more powerful. Everything here had a pretty simple design yet it still managed to be very creative. It was weird to see the anime girl's head at the top of the screen. At a certain point, there are so many shots you have to just not them and keep pressing the fire button.

Everything about this just seems so graceful. I am glad it managed to get the high score it deserved. Another good thing is that you manage to get a lot of oppurtunities to continue the game. Nothing in this seems pixellated and I can tell it came from a talented guy like HappinessSam. I hope you keep making these great games!

[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.
