Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Harry Stick Journey]

Don't be so negative, people

Now, it helps that it is fairly easy to get medals and there are at least not that many. I am glad that this turned out to be every bit of fun as the trailer promised! I had a little trouble figuring it out at first, but I simply flew by after it. The animation is this is nice and it again helps that it is a fairly easy game to understand. Harry Stick is himself a well, very generic chraacter who does not have that much new. It is still fun to just go around and solve all the problems and try to look for the secret medals. I would certainly recommend this.

[Origins]

Does its work well

I am glad you used an amoeba and not the regular human organism. If you did, I would be wondering why you would have a single celled creature like that with fully developed organisms around. It does kind of make you wonder why amoebas have never evolved beyond that. Of course, there are also sharks here, which has always been around. I was quite impressed at the huge variety of songs being used. This game was pretty fun to play and it was interesting to at least learn something about evolution.

[Cream Wolf]

Lots of fun!

I kept thinking the driver of the ice cream was either Jesus or a caveman (hey, they look similar!) but it was actually a werewolf. It was a lot of fun just driving around and selling ice cream. I have no idea if there are ice cream trucks like that around anymore. The music was really fun and listening to it was a good way to pass the time. I loved the pixels used in this and how easy it was to go from place to place. Leave it up to AdultSwim to come up with a premise of a game entirely original with ice cream and werewolves.

[Student park]

Kerb's best game!

This is one of the best puzzle games I have ever played; in fact, it is hard to even recognize it as that! It really helps that the graphics are simply flawless. It is fun to speed up the kids moving around everywhere and you can take your time however you want. This came across as more of an action game as there is in fact a lot of action. I love the different environments you put here and the music, voices, everything! And of course, if there is nothing left to do at all in the game, just nuke em!

[Sniper Hostile Territory]

Nice graphics

I have seen enough stick flashes and games to know that this was pretty standard for animation. It did give you a sense of action as you had to quickly kill everybody. I guess my biggest complaint is that there was just nothing new to this. I am glad you went and submitted the music and sound and fixed various bugs to make the game better. The music is pretty good by itself. Stick violence is something that will simply never die out although this was not the best use of it as it might have needed more action.

[ShellCore: Skirmish]

Hard as usual

I think this had really good graphics and it was fun to try to blow these guys up. I am not giving it a higher rating because I am simply not that good at it. I guess it would be nicer if the medals were easier to get and gave you more points. Still, it has all the good qualities of the last one and I think it might even be a little better. It helps that the sound is good and fits the technologic feeling of the game well. The screen froze for some reason when I first tried to go to the second spot, but it is fine now.

[Journalizm]

Very good

CGI is rarely used on Newgrounds, so it is always great when you see it. This is an interesting quality because while it is certainly three dimensional, you can still see the pixels. I love how the characters acknowledge all of the crazy stuff going on around. It also helps that this is a fairly simple game, just going around and clicking on things. You do not even have to redirect a guy to the coffee machine for coffee! The music is really cool and works great at giving a really upbeat and happy feeling.

[Life Ark 5]

Probably the most creative

I am going to admit right now that I was never a fan of this series, but I think this is the best so far! I actually was able to get pretty far by just clicking everything in sight. I thought it was weird how you showed the cutscene doing exactly what was shown in the tutorial. I liked just going around and trying to grab the pieces of rock. It is about time this series went to none other than Earth, which is where, really all creators of games come from. The graphics are good and are less simple than other entries.

[Noodle Shop]

Ended abruptly

I think the only reason I am giving this such a high rating is that I was recently fired by a restaurant for messing up orders. Granted, I did not actually prepare the food, but this was fun to play. I think it is funny how you do not have to worry about customers asking for certain condiments before you buy them. I like how the big panda winds up the noodles. Maybe kung fu is a better job for him, like in "Kung Fu Panda". It was also weird to just see normal humans thrown in with the anthropomorphic animals.

[Crazy Nails]

Nail gun!

I think this is one of the best submissions you guys have done in a long time simply because it is fun to use a nail gun. I think this may in fact be the first game I played where it was nothing but shooting things with the nail gun. The "Skill" part was kind of irritating, but the "Arcade" mode was much better. I was confused as to why you had a link to an unrelated game on your website. Oh well, the graphics were nice and cartoonish in this one. I like to aim and time my gun for the best way to kill those dang rats.
