Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Overkill: Apache]

Loved the Trotsky quote

This is probably the best game using this style of graphics available on Newgrounds. I thoroughly enjoyed how it was not just a bunch of pixels, but actually something that would be in a real modern side scrolling game. There were just so many different weapons to use, I lost count. I doubt the game has any ending, but I like it better that way. There are just so many enemies coming out everywhere you can not help but blast everything that moves, which is the point. The enemies have so much variety it does not get redundant.

[Quickdraw (Part 2)]

Much better!

I am glad that you worked on your stuff and made something a lot more fun. While not the best game out there (you still kind of need to improve on your animation) it was nice. It was a little frustrating at first with the "DRAW" button, but most games like this are that hard anyway. I liked the variety of all of the enemies. It was fun to just see them get their heads and bodies blown up after beating them. I guess I would suggest more of a background and some better line drawings, but not bad at all.

[Quick Sand]

Pimp indeed!

This is an extremely original game to play here on Newgrounds and I am glad that it was made! I was just impressed at how original the graphics were and the character. I liked her little hair flying everywhere and I am glad I learned how to make her jump higher. It is a pretty hard game and I can understand why it is frustrating to just get one medal. You have to be really quick but at the same time be aware of everything that is coming up in the level. The music is pretty sylistic too.

[DRY_FIRE]

Sweet and to the point

This game is great because it is one of the simplest defense games that I have played in my life! It is always a good idea to show the total number of kills that you have. You do so much with individual blasts it is great to see the overall effect. Things like the graphics and sound effects are good, especially with how the little stick guys moan when you blast them. The premise is so simple you can just play it all day. There might not be much going on, but you went so far as to not put in a lot of flashy effects.

[Fancy Pants Adventures]

It is beyond a stick game!

I think that this is something that really started to redefine the stick genre in games and movies. The graphics are simply fantastic, particularly with how the lines just seem to be moving around everywhere. It is one of the most adorable games I have ever played with the cute environment. It is not an imitation of something like "Super Mario Bros" as it is a great game in its own right. I love to just see the guy get curled into a ball and launched everywhere. The atmosphere is so pleasant it is hard to even get frustrated with the game.

[World Cup Breakout 2010]

The true spirit of football!

I was never into watching sports on TV, nor was I a fan of playing sports games. I do however, simply love this game because it takes a completely different turn than other sports games by making it like Javanoid! It was also a great touch to have that guy at the end of each match to make it more like real soccer. You have made the greatest tribute to professional soccer I have ever seen on this website! I love how ridiculous the square bodies of these guys look. It is just satisfying to see them slowly lose their power by being hit in the crouch.

[>Triggerman]

What's with the grapple hook?

I thought this was a really interesting game, as it creates a really big environment for the player. The only complaint is that I do not how to stop using the grapple hook and it gets so annoying. I have tried pressing every button but nothing seems to work for it! The gameplay is simple enough and I also like the dramatic music and even the dialogue. This is an original game as it has both swinging and shooting. It is a good way to test eye hand coordination with having to switch the weapons.

[War Within Paper]

Paper!

This was a pretty hard game for me but it was still quite enjoyable to play. I really like the paper effects as it truly gives you the feeling of old school work and drawings. I was impressed by how well the sounds went and how fun it was to kill those guys. You really need to use strategy or you can simply just fire a ton of cannon balls at one time and then reload. Everything about this is just cute, even if it is about war. I wish that more games (and other things) would have wonderful paper drawings like this.
