Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Smiley Game]

Really needs work

I thought this was pretty bad because it once again lacked music or any other sound effects. It sounded like you were just trying to do something to get passed and that is not a good idea. However, you appear to be a decent person so I can not hold anything against you personally. I thought it was confusing with how you were supposed to die. I thought it was just the bigger guys at first, but apparently it was something else. It must be pretty popular to have a fair amount of people on the list of high scores.

Nice little game

Yeah, I can tell you are a bit younger than most of the users and flash creators here. This was still fun to play if only because of what you could do with the medals. You could just put everything in the picture and keep on clicking them over and over to see them pop up. I think this might be the first game I have played here where the medals showed up on top of each other! I never realized how popular that Pokemopolis Awesome Smiley thing was here. The music is also really funny.

Yusuf responds:

thanks!

EDIT: The game is now coded so that the medal popup only shows on the first time you unlock the medal. I have tested this on my alt (since I have already unlocked the medals) and it works perfectly. Sorry Ericho, I know you liked how the medal popups overlapped each other when pressed repeatedly!

[Runaway Train]

It's weird

When I first saw this, I thought it was going to be another game to promote the movie "Unstoppable". It was something pretty good, but quite confusing at times. What is that purple car just doing on the track the whole time? Anyway, the best part about it was probably the music as it managed to be really uplifting. The graphics were decent (I am starting to recognize the style of you guys) making it more fun to play. The clock thing was a bit annoying and so was having to go in circles numerous times on one part.

[Golfman Xtreme]

Took awhile to get into it

This was entertaining to play but it did take a little bit to understand exactly how you were supposed to aim the ball. It could have used some more background, but still entertaining. In fact, I think it is pretty rare to see a game where you kill people with golf balls. It was funny how you really had to stretch the club and not only went out of the game frame but out of the frame of the entire computer! I like how they sound when they get their heads blown up. That must be some strong golf ball.

[Bed and Breakfast]

What a nice hotel

I actually used to work in a hotel, but got fired, so I am a little bit familiar with how it works. It's still weird to play a game where I make lots of money because I currently have no job. I admire the authenticness of everything in this. It was definitley hard to keep up with all the room cleaning, the food making, and talking to the guests. I can understand why it would be ridiculous for even a two-room hotel to have only one employee. The animation was very nice and I could sense a similar style.

[Front2Back]

Another great one!

It is great for you guys to win an award, even if it was only Daily 4th Place. You guys are among the most prolific game creators out there, so this was a great game! This game itself was great because it had so much going on and worked so well as a puzzle game. I can not see why it is worse than games like the "SHIFT" series. It can get a little confusing with whether you have to use the "X" or "Z" button and how many times. The little pink character who collects keys and dies a lot is just cute.

[Big Bucks]

Pretty decent effort

This was a fairly enjoyable game, and probably the reason I did not enjoy it more is that I am not a fan of these kinds of games. I am so glad you guys managed to make a game that got a good number of views again. A lot of your stuff is hit and miss here. The best part was probably how the graphics were really good and it had such a peaceful style to it. I think you guys made a game similar to this but it was actually characters on a table playing the game. I would know about the value of money now.

Johnny's back!

This game had advantages and disadvantages over the previous installment. The biggest improvement was that it had a much better use of color and shading and an actual background. The only thing I did not like was how I think the format with the original asking questions was more fun. This was, of course, a very worthy sequel and just something great to play. The way the animation is more stylistic is really a plus as I previously mentioned. It helps that the Johnny character represents the bad boy in all of us well.

[Belial Chapter 2]

One of the best

This is one of the best point-and-click adventure games I have ever played, probably due to the fact that it was the easiest. I love the overall design of this and this is something that anybody should play, not just fans of the genre. The story in the beginning is wonderfully done. Every creature here has just fantastic design. In case anyone is wondering, use your tail to make the elevator open at the top and collect the power items on top. The combination is 4312 and then use electricity to power it and go down.

That is about as far as I got. Dang it, I forgot to collect the fork I found when I first got out of the elevator! Be sure to always keep a look out for those. This was fun also because the music was really appropriate. I would have even enjoyed it if it was nothing but cutscenes. The main character himself is just designed very well. Thank you for showing me the best point and click adventure game I have ever played!

[Balloon Town]

Reminded me of the Sims

This was a good game to play because it reminded me of "SimCity" which was one of my favorite games. It must have been a long time since I played that, because I had trouble with this one. I was not sure how to advance and what to click. Still, this had some really impressive graphics and I liked the premise. I kept thinking this was going to be a game by WarnockWorld, as nearly everything they do (that I like) has balloons in it. The music is also pretty entertaining and helps to set the mood.
