Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Steeplechase Redux]

This is a decent game

I was not able to understand it that way, but this was a fairly fun game to play. The reason it works for me is because it is pretty simple with absolutely everything it does. I was still a bit confused as to how I seemed to die after doing nothing, but nice. There could have been some more detail put into this, with the horse and man. Of course, that might defeat its purpose of being a simple game which it certainly is. It was even a little surreal, as I could in no way tell where I was going or why.

TheSolgryn responds:

Thx, but it's supposed to look that way since it's a super retro game (atari-like). xD

[Run, Jesus Run!]

Well that was fun

I really did enjoy playing this because it pretty much summed up everything there was about Jesus in a short time. I knew that with such a short name, there was no way I was going to stop playing until I had beaten it! The best part was probably when Jesus got the extra life. Well, he still ran out of time afterwards, but it's a neat scene. I was thinking you should have submitted this around Christmas, but it was also about Easter. Now that I am closer to Christmas, I can enjoy it in that way a lot more.

[2099]

Different, but great!

This was a very fun game to play because it was really handy with how you could take aim wherever you wanted and shoot. Of course, this came at a price, as the game gets shakier the more you get pummeled. It was a little hard to keep up with that, but that was really the only flaw. The graphics are just gorgeous with this, especially the clouds. The missiles are a huge boost as it is so hard to just hit those little things once or twice to kill them. I also liked the upgrade menu with how it just seemed to jut out from the screen.

[Easter Egg Hop]

I'm the only one there!

It is so satisfying to be able to play a game like that and be #1 in everything! Granted, that was only because I believe I am the only person to play it, but this was still fun. I liked the aerial view, especially with how you had a clear inkling of what you were getting yourself into by playing the game. It was very easy to understand and should satisfy anyone who is a big fan of Easter. I loved how goofy the bunny looked as he was just hopping around. The music had a nice country feeling to it.

[_Jacks_]

Not bad

I am not the biggest fan of these kinds of games, but this did a good job of doing what it was supposed to do. I was probably only able to get into it at all because I have so little money in real life right now. I really wish I even had $1,000 and I would never squander it on something like this. The graphics are nice and I see no reason for any fan of these kinds of card games to complain. I guess it did not get very popular, but that happens. The setting is very appropriate for the game as well.

[_Meteor Storm_]

As good as ever!

While it did not have the most moves or anything, this was still fairly fun to play. It was addictive because there were just so many meteors and stuff pounding away at you. I was hoping you could upgrade, but then again, all the damage is repaired on the next level. I just can not wait for you to make a game that has medals on it. The graphics are good and there is really nothing bad about them. I liked how the meteors looked like giant potatoes, especially as they got bigger and turned into smaller ones.

[POGZ]

Neat-o!

I noticed how some of the balls made green shapes and others made red shapes. I was thinking at first that might be a bad thing, but apparently it is the right thing to do. It took awhile to understand the controls, that is with the pinball parts you moved. It was still an enjoyable game and I liked how you used Domo-kun as the character the balls went in to. I had little problem at all until I reached the level with the spinning red bars. The easiest was the second level as you could simply let it go wherever.

[New Flash tut]

Needs more detail

I guess it wasn't terrible, but there was just so little in this. When I look for tutorials, I see stuff that geniunely has a lot more things to talk about. It would have also been nice if you had included some music at all. I doubt I will ever get into making flash myself, but I guess it is nice you want to help other people. It was kind of funny to have the title use the word "tut" or "tutorial". I think it may be the first time anyone's ever done that, and you should be sure to get that copyrighted.

[HAMU]

Puzzle?

I had little idea as to why this was listed as a puzzle game, when it appears to not be one. Still, this was a great game to play if only because the classic Javanoid games were the first kinds I ever played on Newgrounds! Everything was done really well and I liked the blocks bouncing around and how they could be hit twice. It was also cool to see everything come together in the beginning of the level. The music was nice and I had a great Oriental feeling to it. It could have been a bit more detailed, but still great.

[First Fantasy v1.1]

That was weird

When I was thinking "Fantasy" I thought it was going to be a "Final Fantasy" parody. To my surprise, it was actually a rather mundane story, but I am still glad I played it. The graphics and character designs are good enough. I also like how a lot of the game is just clicking things and I was able to defeat my first enemy (the rabbit) by not even reading anything. A complaint would be that it is hard to get used to a game that is so mundane and stuff. It is still effective at giving the player a unique experience.
