Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mardek Rpg: Chapter 2]

Pretty playable

I think this was not as good as your previous installment, because it was a little harder to do. You should have been able to skip the long text at the beginning. I also did not like it how it was pretty talky. For all its faults, though, I would definitley recommend it because it has some really impressive graphics. I am not sure why, but the little gloved hand in this just came off as really cute. As I have seen a lot of sprite animation, I really do think this manages to be pretty creative in its design.

Great graphics at least

It was pretty hard for me to come up with a recommendation or not. I loved the CGI graphics and it is especially great how you allow the player to rotate all around to get the big picture. It was a really hard game if the purpose was to just try to align all the colors on the same thing. It definitley had the feel of a Rubik's Cube, which I have never been able to solve. It at least deserves praise because it took a lot of creativity. It is amazing how only one object can cause so much difficulty in solving like that.

[Reincarnation: TCOU]

Best in the series

I daresay that this may be the best point and click adventure I have ever played in my entire life! The graphics are so wonderfully cartoonish and I just like the demon's voice and how he moves. Everything is done in a very orderly manner and at least I managed to get further than I do with most of these kinds of games. It was interesting to see what was behind the next door. The choice of music was also great and appropriate. I knew I would have to give one of these entire a 10 sooner or later given how popular they are.

[Crossroads]

It was authentic

I have to admit that it is hard for me to like something like this that much, simply because there is so little going on. I could go through all the instructions but my interest is not high enough to do something like that. The best part is how it pretty much does have everything you could want in a game like this. You really should have added some music, though. I do not think I ever played a video game on a console that was like this before in my life. At least you did not try to throw in a bunch of superficial stuff.

[Rigoberto, The Yak]

A bit nifty

I thought this was a bit unique, and it was interesting with how many songs and stuff were used for it. It did need improvement in a lot of areas such as how it was simply too easy to die. It seems like the yak himself has little depth, and is just a yak that moves along. I wish there could have been some means of defense against the hazards. It was just so darn easy to fall over the ledges and die. The fact that you only have two lives and no checkpoints also makes it much less enjoyable.

[Spot the black sheep]

Surprisingly great!

I had no idea that something with such a simple premise could ever turn out to be so cool! While the animation was not the best, what matters is that the entire game is really nothing but fun. I have probably played more levels in this than any other Newgrounds game. You have showed that by having a fun spirit, you can make anything good. I especially liked how there were just so many places to hide the black sheep. You had to look around the label or in the background or sometimes you just had to do random clicking.

Thanks :D
Always nice to see another review after all these years :P

[Color Theory]

Freaking sweet!

I could not help but think that you were influenced by some scientific theory about color. Whatever the inspiration, this was fantastic because it was very simple to understand. Even as it got harder, I was still not frustrated by how hard it was! I love all of the designs put into this, like the space ships which are there for really no reason. I was at first fearing it might be too short, but luckily it got longer. You definitley know how to have the right number of levels as it is one of the most satisfying puzzle games I have ever played.

[Humaliens Battle]

So much fun

This is a game that truly works simply because it is so, well, simple. I loved how it was just so easy to get ahead, because all you really had to do was immediately click the button after it allowed you to. It was a bit confusing with how some troops did not show up right away. I now realize that was of course done because you could only use some at a certain time. Another highlight was the riveting music and the sweet graphics. I especially like the designs of the monsters and how it is so easy to make strategy with the waves coming on.
