Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[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 Rocketfingers 2]

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.

[Penguin War]

Fairly nice

I thought this was good, but it was not the best defense game you guys have ever submitted. It just seemed a bit monotonous with how you were basically pressing the same button over and over to summon the penguins. Still, it had some really good graphics. The best part about it was probably that amazing music. I never in my dreams expected to hear something so epic in a game featuring penguins throwing snowballs! While I will probably never have snow where I live (Florida) it was nice to see it here.

[Neck Twist]

Simple but entertaining

I never would have thought a game with such a child-like appearance to it would have animals twisting their necks and then die like that. The animals certainly get stronger as the levels go on. I think this is one of the best games you guys have submitted here in a long time. It was funny to just see the monkeys get taller as their necks stretched everywhere. It was also great to be able to pick up those powerups so easily. The graphics were really good and it reminded me of CGI in a certain way.

[Turtlerun]

Fairly fun

I expected no less from a game genius as yourself. I am surprised I missed this when it first came around, but it was definitley zany enough to be worth a play. I could not quite understand what this was about as it made no sense at all. A turtle, cars, baseballs, what does it all mean? The funniest part was probably when the guy came out and kept saying "Safe!" after I kept narrowly escaping death by being crushed by the baseballs. After awhile, it does become a bit too easy, but the premise is still interesting.
