Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Room Tribute]

As perplexing as the movie itself

I was thinking this was made in regards to the Nostalgia Critic's review of "The Room" being taken down. All in all, this has got to be the most frustrating game I have ever played. I have been playing it for over 15 minutes and still have yet to win a single medal! I think the main point here is that this game is just as ridiculous as the movie itself. For something so simple, it sure does go on a long time. I could not help but be entertained by Tommy Wiseau's appearance in this, as he looks like Frankenstein's monster.

Great game!

The most annoying thing about this game is that it is also very hard and so difficult to get ahead in it! Still, the graphics are great and all of the enemies are designed wonderfully. I was glad to get upgrades in a game that was shooting, as you usually only get them in things like defense games. You really have to watch out for those fireballs that get thrown at you. Sometimes I have trouble telling if there is a defined number of a enemies or it is simply an infinite engine as there are so many. In case no one knows, you can only use the rocket attack once in a level.

[Crush The Castle 2]

Very enjoyable

The only frustrating thing about this was that it was so darn difficult to get any of these stupid medals! I managed to get gold ten times in a row and still not even a 5 pt medal! Anyway, the graphics are really good the premise is pretty fun. I especially love how these guys just seem to explode whenever they die. It was also a great idea to introduce upgrades which are always helpful in getting the gold. It looks like something that could be made from K'Nex or Legos, some great childhood memories there.

[VVVVVV Demo]

Very impressive

I think that a game would be pretty small if it had a mere eight levels. Of course, they are simply so massive they are like their own worlds in a video game! The hardest part by far was when you have to dodge those ninjas on the ground while getting to the moving platform on top. It is fun to come up with strategy and stuff. The graphics are good, and I especially like the weird use of colors. It is annoying to have to change gravity every time you want to jump, but it does make for a very original game.

[Quickdraw GUN.5]

DRAW

Okay, THIS has to have the record for most medals on any Newgrounds game. I was amazed that it was able to keep up for such a long time with all the enemies! I got as far as Level 18, where I swear that black dude can simply not be defeated! While the graphics were not great, it definitley was nice to earn tons of easy medals. You can come up with any combination and just get one of the secret medals. Pretty much all of the weapons you gave me to use were good in their own right.

[Mini Putt]

It really has everything

This game does not have a lot of flashy stuff to it simply because it does not need them. It is great at being a fairly realistic representation of playing minature golf. I think nearly any full golf game would be annoying for me (real or in a game). This game really works in its simplicity as it just captures everything that people in real life love about minature golf. This sort of thing always brings back good childhood memories. I am glad to get a hole in one or even on par as you can really take your time with this.

[Moon Patrol]

I do not remember the classic game

This was pretty fun to play, but the weakest point would probably be the graphics. The patrol device itself looks silly with all those bright colors. Still, it has a simple enough premise to follow through. I was so relieved to find out you were able to shoot those stupid rocks to pieces. It may not be the most creative thing out there, but the sounds are decent and it does make for a pretty addictive game for a few minutes at least. I am not sure why you chose the theme of the alphabet, but it does pace it well.

[The Deeplight Expedition]

Those spikes!

This was a good game to play because it had a lot of original material and stuff to it. My favorite feature was probably how you could jump from side to side. I managed to figure that out even before the instructions told me to. The graphics are good, if a little simplistic and the gameplay is mostly satisfying. You certainly have little idea as to what is going to happen next and you have provided a large space to move around. I guess it would have been more enjoyable if there were more things to collect, like coins or something.

[Harmony Keeper]

Very creative

I have heard of space whales before, but this is the first time I ever played a game that actually featured one! If that was not a space whale, then this was certainly a crazy game. The fact that there were other ships that attacked for you polarized me. I think that for the most part they were really cool and it does make you think about using a different strategy. Everything was so literally colorful and had a lot of depth to it. I enjoy playing space shooting games, but this might not even qualify as one in the strictest sense.

[Arcuz (Full Version)]

Greatly done!

It seems that you were really trying to work on creating a game that could become popular through different websites. I really do not use my Facebook profile that much, so I doubt I will save. What matters is that the graphics are great and it is fantastic to simply play. I love the subtle sounds you make simply by walking around. Sure, it will never becomg "FarmVille" but it is always interesting to make people interact this way. While I am not an RPG fan, I am however a big fan of action, so it works to please most people.
