Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[QD Collection: PDS & CH]

It does get better

I really have to praise you for holding the record for most 0 point medals in a single game. It is always great to get medals, even if they literally mean nothing at all. I was surprised you managed to keep the whole thing up with so many characters. As simple as this game might seem, it actually does get a lot harder as it progresses. It is always fun to wonder how the next character with look like being shot. I thoroughly enjoyed shooting those morons, although I did skip past some descriptions.

Read the author comments. Whether the medals get points or not is out of my hands.

Also, you skipped past more than just the descriptions. You missed a whole game!! Quickdraw: Cyber Hell is included in this as well as Quickdraw: Pico Day Special.

Glad you enjoyed it anyway, thanks for reviewing.

Overall not bad

The strongest part of this game is how it does not rely much on heavy graphics, but is quite simple. It is always fun to know how to get a secret medal without even trying. I liked shooting the little bug things just to se how long it would take for them to die. Another fun part was the first boss, but the second boss was simply a nightmare. The most convienent part about this game is how you can always come back after dying. Even having to start the previous part over after a boss does not really irritate me.

Not the worst thing

I have to give you some credit for coming up with something that actually was a bit fun to play. It was nice how you were able to turn off the sound as the music did get annoying. The biggest problem with this is that the graphics are just not that good. You still managed to be pretty creative, with all the ways of hiding the green button (or object). I got as far as the Newgrounds level. It is pretty nice how it is unpredictable as to what will happen in the next level, and it is not all that simple to play.

Thanks man, that's good to know. Graphics don't really matter to me, I like to stress a point that
Gameplay > Graphics. But I think I should have made it a little longer, that's all.

Fun at first

I should know by now that all games here follow a certain formula after awhile. I have to give you credit for having two easy medals that actually are worth quite a bit. I simply can not get past the level that has the three blue beams with the goal in the left corner. Nonetheless, I admired this for having good graphics and nice sound. It certainly is fun collecting all of those stars as well as trying to set up a strategy. It is also great to use this thing where so many people are allowed to express their own creativity.

MiniClip is back!

This is easily one of the greatest games I have ever played sponsored by MiniClip! I was so disappointed when it seemed like MiniClip was not submitting games to Newgrounds anymore. I loved the spirit of these, particularly with how good the graphics were. I remember the items as having been from previous games. BTW, in case anybody wants to know the sure fire way to beat the boss, merely get him to the corner of the screen and keep on kicking until he dies. While that does seem like a cop out, it is a great way to win.

I find it hard to believe that some guy here was actually able to make over 14,0000,000 points! Anyway, I am glad it was a game that was here in its entirety. While the MiniClip website is great, it is always good to have stuff here on Newgrounds. My favorite move was the blue kick with the "L" button. I was amazed at all the unique designs the enemies had. Hey, with robot dinosaurs you can never go wrong!

[Epic Coaster]

That was great!

I have to love this game because it has one of the most simple premises, but still manages to be completely awesome! I loved all of the things that were around to make you gain points easily. It was easy to pace yourself to get more points. The graphics are great as the sounds and atmosphere are extremely authentic. Granted, I doubt anyone would have to jump on to different tracks like that in a real life rollercoaster. It is an extremely original idea that truly keeps you sharp and on your toes.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Thank you for informing me that Pickelman is a webcomic you make. I love this because it is just so random and I have no idea where to go to next, but I simply click on everything. I always get frustrated when I can not find Easter Eggs in a cartoon, so it was convienent to have so many Easter eggs. I loved all the little effects like the candles and hearts blowing up. Once again, it is great that you seem to use different styles for each superimposed image. I think my favorite bit would be the candle.

[Haunted House Candy Hunt!]

Quite fun Halloween game

I liked this, because it did not try to be really flashy or anything. Now, in spite of this (or perhaps because) it could have used some more detail. It was a bit annoying with how you did not know which enemies you could kill by kicking. Given the wide fanbase "Star Wars" has, of course some guys made a game featuring some lesser known characters from it! Pretty much every character who had any dialogue in the movies has his or her own book anyway. It seemed pretty typical of Halloween.

[Sift Heads World : Act 4]

Shorty's hot in a bikini

I was surprised you released another one so soon after the previous installment. It is great to see that you are continuing to pump out awesome stuff, especially at such a high rate. I now recognize the intro as I kept getting some of these entries mixed up. Anyway, it was great fun to experiment with different styles. I was pretty confused at how I was able to bring the airplane down when the plane's health bar was two thirds full. It is a little disorganized, but overall just fun to look at.

[Deconstructor]

Very fun

I really like the use of pixellation that goes beyond normal sprites. It was so astounding you even pointed this out by having the Newgrounds logo change into the more pixellated thing. I loved getting powerups so I could destory the buildings faster. I really had no idea that the alien was going to be the protagonist. I loved how there were so many things just flying and driving around, giving you more targets to hit. It almost reminded me of "Rampage" with the way you gradually destroyed buildings.
