Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Give Up, Robot]

This is crazy!

I have to give AdultSwim credit for creativity, as the game was just so insane I had no idea how to work it! That is not a good thing sometimes in games. I still appreciated this simply because it had absolutely flawless graphics. I love this design of all those crazy colors at the same time. Admittedly, it got frustrating but the design and background is just so wonderful to look at. I love how fast the robot can go and how he can just fire his little grappling hook everywhere while jumping around!

[Target-Shooting]

You did it!

I admit that it was very clever to throw in medals that were so easy to get at least from a certain standpoint. All you had to do was play it, which was a guarantee it would get some good points. There is just so little to say about a game that is just so average. I would probably not recommend it, because there is just nothing special at all. Well, I would recommend it for someone who wanted a lot of medals and had time to kill, but that is not me. The music did get a bit annoying so it was nice to include that "mute" button.

thanks for the nice review

[English Pub Pool]

Not for all tastes

I am going to say right now that I was just never good at online pool or any other kind of pool for that matter. I am a bit surprised that something with so many medals does not have more views. Some of the controls were a bit hard. I have actually always had trouble with games like these, because I am not sure how to get a good shot. I did well in terms of getting a good distance from the stick to the ball, but really flopped after a few tries. I think I could actually do a lot better at this in real life.

[The Terminal]

Very fun!

This was very fun to play because it reminded me of a lot more professional games that use CGI. It was especially cool how you managed to add a spin on the defense game. With all the defense games out there, it seemed hard to come up with something original, but this was still cool! It may be the first submission I have ever seen to have a YouTube video in it. It was a little hard to understand, but it is great fun to blow up robots and stuff. It took me awhile to figure out I was even supposed to defend something!

[Moon Cannon]

Pretty fun

I was a bit impressed by the graphics in this. It actually reminded me of a typing game that I used to play in college all the time, not that that is a particularly bad thing. Anyway, it was pretty frustrating and hard to keep up with those meteors. While the premise might seem simple, you truly have to keep on your feet to keep up with those giant rocks. I do like the sound effects and everything, but there could have been a bit more detail. It was interesting (and hard) to see the alien spaceship show up.

[Mascot Design (dress-up)]

Not bad for a dress-up game

I thought this was a pretty good game, but one of the negative points was that there was no sound. It was pretty cool in how you put in an intro. I do not even think I have ever played a dress-up game that had an intro before! The weird thing is that there is not really that much that goes on in the intro to include it. The background seemed pretty well designed, even if you did kind of need some more costumes to make it more enjoyable. I can see why you apparently abandoned these kind of submissions.

[BUMs: Back to School]

Perhaps the best in the series

I think this is probably the best thing I have ever seen in the BUM series. It helps that the whole thing is a game and you are more known for games here than regular flash cartoons. I especially like how there are so many little creative things like the red pennies to collect. If there was any flaw, it was that having to contact that other guy was kind of annoying. At least the mechanics of the game were fairly easy to understand. I think this also has some of the best use of animation of this series.

[Sledding Madness]

Pretty fun

While not as innovative as the longer game this was based on, this was still pretty fun to watch, as it was just cool. I was surprised at how easy it was to die, especially with the tree stumps. One time I just went over a ramp and there was no way to avoid dying! Anyway, it was nice to collect those gems along the way. My biggest complaint is that there just should have been some more detail. The weird thing is that in the second round the meteors crashing was something that never killed me.

[Go to Hell!]

Go to Hell too!

I was pretty impressed by this game overall but the main problem was that it just simply seems to go on forever. The best parts of it were probably getting the meat and coins and stuff. One annoying thing was that the character himself was just so whiney. I mean, I do not need to be told that stuff when the bars overhead already do. Still, it was pretty addictive mostly because it just seemed to go on forever and did not take much concentration to do. It was especially satisfying to get strategies to drown the enemies.

[Space Station Jason]

One of the best!

I think this was more enjoyable than a lot of RPG style games that I have played of yours (lilG). I just think that this gives off the perfect feeling of being in an authentic 3D game on a professional system. In my day, I used to take video games pretty seriously. I could feel my heart pacing as I dodged everything I could. The way you can go back and check on your progress just makes it look so professional. It also probably has the best use of camera angles I have ever seen in a game like this.
