Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Insanity Box]

Really cool!

This is a game that truly tests how smart you are, but can also contribute to testing your sanity as well. I am amazed at the sheer number of audio material used for ths, not to mention all the flashy effects! I have no idea what is going to happen next, but it is very fun to play. Half the time I do not even know how to play the levels properly! It is just interesting to see the unique artwork show up, like the kitten! With all the ridiculous stuff going on, this is one disorganized game that certainly focuses on insanity!

[The Beast (Part 1)]

Does need work

The animation in this game was just really cheesy and it was hard to take it seriously. Of course, seeing as how this is a game with 0 point medals, it probably is not supposed to be taken seriously, anyway. The second level is simply murder for me to beat! The cheesy effects remind me of the stuff made by Jerry Jackson. I suggest that you also work with coloring effects, because everything seems to just be one color. I guess the sound quality was not too bad and it was a little unique.

You beat the tutorial and then gave up. What the hell makes you think you've seen enough to review the game? And stop mentioning the fecking medals, I've already explained that to you.

[Avoid & Kill]

Quite fun

I had a little trouble understanding this game at first, but I definitley understood it the more I played it. The only reason I like this so much was that I played it when it was first being submitted. I was able to always rank in high on the all time scores as so few people had played it! My highest my 8,000, but dang it, someone else beat me to 15,000! This game is not intended to be a lesson in biology, just something quick and fun. As it gets harder, you can only pray for one of those things that allows you to eliminate enemies.

[Oil Spill Escape]

Dang oil spill!

I can always count on Newgrounds to give us some satire or at least a game that features modern problems. I was impressed by how well it flowed. I was not even aware that I was not able to advance past the rocks as I kept thinking I could just go over them. I liked when I could just locate where the next space between the rocks was there and sort of "walk" along that part. The music is pleasant and seems to be unfitting. It looks as though by now they have finally put that cap on it, too.

Another point 'n click

I like this game a lot because it has really great graphics. With the number of CGI games rising, it is great that so many people are working hard to avoid the uncanny valley. As always, it is great that you include the walkthrough. I would think that once I got the hammer (or is that a crowbar?) I would simply be able to knock the cop out. Kind of a strange thing to say, but in a horror game like this, anything goes. Everything has a fairly unique design and it seems as though CGI here in general is getting better.

[Freeway Fury]

Great fun

It was weird how I got 200 points for slamming against other cars, but that eventually killed me. It was really nice how I was able to drive off the road onto the grass and everything. I really admired the graphics in this, especially with how well the cars moved. When I jumped on to another car, it was hard to tell if I had died or not. I prefer using the smaller cars because that gives you more room to move around. There is also a lot of detail in this, which you would not expect in a road game.

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.

53xy83457 responds:

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.

[Pixel Prophet]

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.

[Green button search]

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.

mothballs responds:

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.

[Little Cannon]

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.
