Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Parachute Retro (Game)]

Hard as ever

I think the one thing that makes these games so effective is just how well they take you by surprise. Everything just seems to be going so casual at first you do not even notice the changes. Then along comes obstacle after obstacle and after 46 saves it simply became impossible for me. I can tell this was an early version as the graphics were not that good. This game did not really depend that much on graphics in the first place. The loading screen is also fairly nice with the white plane silhouette just flying around.

[Ball (Original Demo)]

Take your first baby step

Yep, I can certainly recognize just how far you have gotten with your ball revamped series. I think this is probably the least enjoyable of the series, as there is no sound and it is hard. It was just weird to see those little flashing things show up every now and then. I am glad that you used this as a simple demo. The full versions are much better, not just for being easier, but for having very improved graphics. It is nice to know that this was the game series that got you started making popular games.

[Braden's Kitchen (Game)]

Definitley an early work

It is weird to look back and regard these early games as amateurish, but then again, it is also interesting to see how far you have come. I especially like how the gameplay is simple. The graphics are probably the weakest part as you had yet to work with lines really well. The colors are also pretty simplistic with how everything is just one shade. I guess you just stopped working on stuff that featured this Braden guy. I am surprised that I got as far as I did as I got a good 10,000 points.

[RedEye 1031]

That was unexpected

Hey, uh, I am going to say what happens if you survive the fall so spoilers ahead. I thought it was really crazy how it turned out to be just a dream. I was actually thinking this was going to turn into a bigger game with more levels. Oh well, here is a hint if you want to beat the game not that you get much for beating it. Stand directly under or maybe just a little to the side of the second vent and the enemies will not come down. It was hard at first, but dang was it fun to hit those different kinds of enemies.

[Llama Adventure]

Keyboard game, really?

I was hoping this would be an adventure game of sorts. You know, where you were a llama and you went around and, I don't know, stepped on things llamas stepped on. I still think this was pretty fun to play. The biggest strength is that the graphics, while there are not many, are pretty impressive to look at. The sound and text and everything seemed to be fine too. I have just never been a fan of these kinds of games with nothing but typing, but there was definitley a good amount of effort put into it.

[Pocket Change!]

Kennedy?

You know, I am seriously started when was the last time I saw a 50 cent piece at all. Anyway, this reminds me of when I was trying to make change with my mom. We were preparing for a job I was getting as a cashier, but then I was fired after a week and a half. There is not much else to say about this, as the graphics are nice enough. It seems like somebody should do the obvious thing of making a game like this with coins. Everyone knows what it is like to have coins, at least I hope they do.

[Console Launch: 2nd Ship]

Fun action game

It is always fun to go around and hit people with any object that you can get your hands on. I admit that it was a different kind of setting, but my biggest complaint is that it is pretty much the same thing after awhile. Too bad I died before I even managed to hit the first boss! The other weird thing is that it says the resolution is high but it simply does not look high at all to me. At least it was still fun to just randomly throw the weapons out and get powerups and stuff. Oh, and I like the blue uniform.

[Hobbit Rampage]

Unbelievable!

I am dumbfounded by the fact that this did not get a single award! It is so suiting that this managed to get in the "Action Games" and "Lord Of The Rings" collections at least. It really reminded me of another game released at about the same time called "Lord Of The Stars 1.5". This was of course a fun and dang addictive game to play! The most annoying enemies were by far the big white bats. The sounds and graphics are everything are just so nice and quaint and I recommend this to not just LOTR fans, but anyone coming to this website!

[Water Dash!]

An environmental game!

It was so cool to see you work on a game that actually promoted your environmental causes. I am not sure if playing and reviewing your stuff donates money to the causes, but it is a good cause at least. I was annoyed at how I did not know that the red and green drops were bad. Shouldn't I have figured that out? Anyway, the control is this was a little off, especially with how you have to just be in a certain spot to catch the water drops. I hope that we learn to protect those penguins!

[Knights of Rock]

Pretty nuts

It will never cease to amaze me with how games will always be original. I have to admit that this was not one of my favorite games even if it was only because it was pretty hard. It got a real chore when I had to press the buttons so rapdily on the ground. I never got into stuff like "Guitar Hero" or anything, so I would not know about that kind of gameplay. I at least admired the fine graphics and the different kind of gameplay as noted before. It does motivate you to keep playing as you always get further with every play.
