Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Me and My Dinosaur]

How adorable

This was a really cool game because it really beckoned back to my childhood. I was the biggest fan of dinosaurs when I was a kid, especially big dinosaurs to keep as pets like the one here! The gameplay is simple, but does take some work. While it was certianly not adult-oriented, I think you were thinking of a fantasy everyone has as a kid. Everything about this is just cute, like the sound the dinosaur makes when he runs. I decided to name him "Buttface" and I got tons of laughs out of that and I hope you win Daily Feature!

CannedMeat responds:

:'D thanks!

I've always enjoyed puppydog dinosaurs too.

[Castle Hero]

Good and addictive!

I am so glad that I managed to know the ropes of this game better and take it for the truly epic masterpiece it is! It was just so fun to throw all those things and watch those guys look so stupid as they die. I did not read the instructions at first and did not understand how to even kill the guys who were coming at me with birds! It improves over the previous installment because it just brings so many new things to the table. I did not know whether to expect wizards, gnomes, or giant mushroom people next! It is very addictive because you keep getting motivated to get more points for weapons and other upgrades.

[AVOIDAL]

Cool!

It definitly gets harder as it goes on, but this is a very stylistic and very fun game to play! The red robot featured looks a lot like one of the robots from the "We Are Robots" series. It was really unique but boy did you have to keep on moving every single second the game was on! It is so comforting to have so many medals here that you can earn some without even trying to. It was hard to tell how close I was to death, except when I was really bombarded by those little red guys. I like how the theme of using the enemies but still avoiding them is paradoxical.

HybridMind responds:

I'll have to check the "We Are Robots" series to see what you mean as I'm not familiar with that. Glad you liked the game and you make a good point about the health meter. It is tough to watch as you are dodging all over the place. Thanks again!

[Echoes: Act 1]

Nice game

While there were a bit too many cutscenes (I could have just watched this as a movie) what matters is that there was really a lot of work put into this. The graphics are pretty good and the voice acting is great. It is a new kind of game for me to play with and it is certainly hard to get used to. Nonetheless, you guys all came together to really create a world of your own. While not the most original of ideas, it uses its gameplay well to entertain the player. It is rather fun to go around and select people like that.

[Mothership Defender]

Lots of fun!

It is really too bad this was not approved for medals, because it is a very fun game! I liked how basic it was and how you could just go around and zap everything in sight. Not much of a background, but the sound effects were great and I could just go on forever playing it. The explosions themselves were done really well, with how they seemed to break out into cubes and stuff. It is good fare for a standard space shooting game. You have to look out for the long-nosed (?) brown ones, I think they're suicide attacks.

[Bly University's A/V test]

It's been so long!

I don't know why, but I guess I have to give you some credit for coming up with a screamer like this. It had been such a long time since I have seen that and I am glad someone finally brought it back. Granted, this is several years old, but the memories are long. It was just so shocking because I am not at all used to seeing that stuff. I was a bit confused as to why it was taking so long for the dots to come up. I recently took a hard test over in Pensacola, so I was used to the idea of college level tests.

[Axion RPG 2 (BETA)]

Should please fans

I am not really an RPG fan, but this definitley had enough potential to entertain me for awhile. The design is pretty simple and probably could have used some more detail. As this is a beta version, it is understandable a lot of things would look rough. I would suggest putting some more detail into the houses and the ground so the background things are not repetitive. I keep thinking from the beginning it's going to be a hentai intro. It was cool to be able to go down the pipe and continue on down from there.

[NG Portal Radio v2 01]

Now and forever!

I was not that big of a fun of the audio portal at first, but then I came to realize that it was an important part of the work by people here on Newgrounds. What makes this so wonderful is that you can simply do nothing but click "random audio" all day. You guys worked together to make a great tribute for all those submitters out there. There is something for everyone here so you can never get bored. All the backgrounds and the way it is organized is very nice and professional-looking too. This is a great way for people to understand the audio portal even if they are not a fan, much less reviewer of it.

MCarsten responds:

Yeah, you got it. Thanks for the nice review and for the kind words. :)

[Boondog]

Graphics were decent

It would probably be too cliched to say that I did not enjoy this game because I was not good at it, but it is true. It was difficult to know exactly how to stop when you were going down. It was also kind of a pain to not be able to jump while moving forward. Still, it was typical of a platformer, it just could have used some more tweaking to make it enjoyable. The best part is probably how the premise is simple and the graphics are alright. At least the keys were fairly easy to comprehend.

[=Core=]

The style was good

It is a pity this was rejected for medals, because this would have ranked up with OCD+ as a truly frustrating game. I think this managed to be even more difficult, but it was a good idea to release this on 111110. I heard that on this day the robots were going to invade us, but it turned out there was just going to be a game about it. The graphics are nice enough, not that you are really caring about that while playing this. At least you were nice enough to give us a (0-point) medal for simply activating the game. The OCD+ game wasn't even nice enough to do that.
