Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Safe cracker]

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.

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.

[ShellCore Command: Ep1]

Hard and strange

It seems like every game out there has medals these days. Anyway, I was impressed at the graphics that were used and it was a pretty original style. I guess I am just not used to the new kinds of gameplay we have as it took me forever to get anything done. Oh, it was nice how it fired automatically and how those enemy ships were destroyed when they were destroyed. This is a highly strategic game but also very addicting to find out how to beat it. I can not even understand the tasks!

[Neonblox]

Very hard

It does not help in the least that these are some of the hardest controls I have. I have played games like this before, and I am simply not able to advance on to anything, as the gameplay is so hard to understand. It's fun when it's on the bottom, but on the sides and top I have no clue where I am going or where the ball is going. Well, not ball, just whatever that thing you use in the game is. I guess the graphics were pretty impressive and it was creative overall, so I would recommend this to a better gamer than me.

[Mad Karate Man]

Not my kind of game

I just loved the graphics that were used as it is among the most impressive I have seen in your games! The biggest downside was that the premise just wasn't that enjoyable. I guess you could say I do not understand how this game works, but I read the instructions and everything. There is not much action or variety as you just go the same thing over and over. There are so many upgrades but none of them seem even that effective. I prefer that this be an actual fighting or action game.
