Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Time Sphere]

Great game

I played this game on another website and was happy to see it submitted to Newgrounds. At first I thought there was no way to beat Level 8, but the I realized that you had the ability to freeze things! And to think I went through the first seven levels without even knowing I could do that! The graphics are simple, but work very well. I also liked how the main guy just moves around a lot and it takes real effort and thought to defeat the levels, even if they are just one screen. mofunzone is a great sponsor as always.

It is simple

I was just on the BBS where it seems like every topic was about zombies. I knew that I was in the mood to play a zombie game even if it did not have the highest score. This may not have had the most variety, but it was a pretty enjoyable game. I guess this format just is not the best as I am more used to going around and shooting zombies. This is still shooting zombies and stuff and some of the designs were pretty interesting. It is too bad the score dropped from 3.50 to 2.87 the last time I looked at it.

Quite fun

I can see why this has well over a million views. It has the most popular people on Newgrounds contributing into one of the coolest games on the website! The graphics are simply awesome and I love how the characters move when you beat them up. It's a silly and pointless game, but it's the kind you can play all the time. While by this time, Britney Spears jokes may be old, but this is still funny. It is a simple premise that has everything you could want in a fun beat-em-up game.

Needs some work

My biggest gripe with this game is that the numbers and words are simply cut off and I am not able to read them. It is also the kind of game that really needs some music. It should not be that hard to find given as how the game is pretty simple. I have played games like this and I was never a fan of them unless I knew how to win. I suggest you make the instructions a bit more clear as it was hard for me to make out what the objects shown in the game were. It was at least not terrible.

Thank you for your review, this was the first game I released. I had forgotten to include the font, because of this Flash uses the default font which makes the texts unreadable at times.

[Next Action Frog]

Good, but hard

This was a pretty fun way to earn medals as it did have the style of the original Super Mario Bros. games. It gets waaaaaaay harder as the game goes on, making it downright Hell to win every medal. Particularly hard was Level 18, which I eventually got past. Timing can be everything in this game and everything has to be done just right. At least I managed to get as far as the nineteenth level. If there was only one extra block left, I could have saved myself a dozen deaths. The sound was also pretty authentic.

[Paper Warfare]

Very fun

It probably helps as usual that the medals in the beginning are pretty easy to get. I thought it was a great idea to use the traditional cardboard paper to play this game! The enemies seem to be designed pretty well and it helps that it's a very basic game. I will say that the bosses are some of the hardest I have seen in a long time. At least the designs are cool and it has everything a game like this should have. The music is also pretty cute and fun as well.

Needs work in a lot of areas

This was an extremely simple game, but the problem is that it is simply too simple (lol). This needs to have more going on, like the inclusion of sound. It should not be that hard to find some music to go with this, as I can even find that out on my single submission. The artwork really needs work, as it looks like it was made in 2000. That style does not work in modern times unless the gameplay is great, which it is not. It is a little too tedious to play, but overall I guess it's harmless.

Great!

This is a great flash game because you have no idea what is going to happen next. I thought that maybe the family was trying to get rid of the monster because they thought it was evil, when it wasn't. It was very interesting that you took the very realistic way of using war! I simply loved the atmosphere and how the characters appeared as silhouttetes while witnessing the destruction. I do not think I have ever seen gameplay like this, but it's great! It really shows what you can do in a great dark environment.

[Sushi Cat]

Simply fantastic!

It's simply fantastic how this website keeps pumping out great stuff after great stuff! I am impressed at how you managed to use something really cute, like a cat. In the later levels, it actually becomes a problem when he becomes too fat and you have to work to get him down. I don't think there are any movements in this game besides ones that automatically come when you lay the cat down. Even the cutscenes are great with that adorable cat. It is simply great that so many people worked on this.

Best I've played all day

In all of the games I have been through and tried to finish, this is my favorite of all of them. I am just amazed at the graphics in this one, particularly how the character moves. It is some of the hardest stuff I have ever played, but dang, is it satisfying when you're finally done with a level! The idea was also pretty original. There just seem to be so many limits on what you can do and so many things that are out to kill you! It is certainly addictive, in that I keep playing until I beat the game.
