Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Windows RG Build 207]

Dumb windows

I love this game because it is just a great tribute to how unfathomably dumb Windows can be. I like it how you focus not just on the funny bad features of Windows, but threw in some original stuff. The structure of the game is cheesy, but that is definitley the point. While I have it much better now, there was a time when I just had the worst computer I could ever imagine. Everything was slow and it kept saying over and over that I had performed an illegal action. At least I can get mad at this fictional version.

[Skid Mk]

Great to play!

This may in fact be the best racing game that I have ever played on Newgrounds. I just love how three dimensional the characters are in every sense of the word. With more stuff, I could seriously see this as being something that would be on a professional modern day system. It is also great to go through the game at your own pace. I have just been introduced to you people, and you have given me a great game already! The designs are just so amazingly creative and everything is so funny and literally colorful.

[Step Brothers Soundboard]

Could have been much better

I have always looked at soundboards but I think this was one of the weakest I have heard. I now realize just why I admire a lot of other soundboards than this. The presentation is just bad as it is nothing but a white background with some green squares in it. It would have also been nicer if there were more sounds. While I have not seen the movie "Step Brothers", I imagine that you could have used more. With more detail and sounds, this could be just as good as any other soundboard here.

[The Farm.]

Different

I swore that this was going to be a zombie game at first, but you really did go for originality! I guess I may have had more fun if it was actually zombies instead of animals, but still good. The graphics in this game are quite impressive and I love the way the enemies move. It is also cool to see them get blown up all the time by that gun. While the tutorial was a bit tedious, what matters is that you want to help your players. I can just appreciate how good the graphics are by just pausing and admiring it.

[Flubber Rise]

Very cool!

I liked this game because it had so much going for it, despite its simplistic design. I never thought that I would ever play a game where I lost by becoming too small as I went up. The graphics are just so silly, I like how everything seems to have a face here. It is even funny to just watch the little piece of flubber get smaller as he goes on, even though that is bad of course. I can just go around bouncing everywhere without a care in the world. The music is also pretty cool and gives a happy feeling.

[Das PÜzzelspielen]

Quite impressive

I first did not understand what this game was supposed to be about in the first place at all. The premise just seemed unfathomably easy and thus not worth playing at all. You sure know how to catch your players off guard and make something creative. I am glad you made this at BIGJam and hope you got recgonized for it. The weakest point is probably how there just seems to be little detail in it. I do like how you manage to speak perfect English in adition to your native German.

[Crossing the Pit]

Good for first

I can tell that this is your first submission as it has pretty simplistic animation. However, I still found it pretty enjoyable and it was pretty good when I gave it the chance. Some of the outcomes were predictable, especially with the teleporter thing. I suggest that next time you work on more of a background or at least with better colors. The sounds used in this are probably the most fun part. People have submitted things like this before (choosing the death of someone) but I still found this to be kind of original.

Next time I did work on the background :P

[Pixel Legions]

Quite different

This is one of the most unique games that I have played in a long time and it was so easy to just fall in love with how cool it was! I was not able to fight any more than 1 guy at a time and I find it hard to imagine how anyone could win this game. What matters is that the design is just so awesome not to mention how fun it is to just draw lines. I do not even care how far I get, I just care that I am playing something so cool. I love how the simplistic white lines contrast with the computerized blocks. It probably does take strategy.

Fighting multiple enemies is all about tactics. Don't fight when you don't have to, let your enemies duke it out. Sweep in and crush them when you've got the chance.

[Mahjong Challenge]

Good for Mahjong game

I was initially not interested in these kinds of games, but I have gotten better at them. I have to admit that this is one of the hardest of these kinds of games I have ever played. I could just spend all day looking at the dozens and dozens of tiles that are around here. I guess I could always try to just randomly press things. Mahjong is a pretty complicated game by its nature even though it only has one screen. I guess you gave a good representation of what the real game is supposed to be like.
