Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Paw Pals]

I was surprised this had the lowest score for this jam. Then again, there weren't that many to compete with. This was still enjoyable. I guess people were wanting more like a platformer for a cat game. I still loved this! You can't go wrong with cats this cute!

The graphics were remarkably good. It was just so much fun to pick up these cats. It still could have used more action. The title reminds me of "Paw Patrol". I'm not interested in that.

[Monitor Maze]

Wow, that was an awesome game! I think it's the best I've played in this jam! My only complaint is that it was too short! I really wanted to see more! It's still amazing. I didn't quite understand it at first.

I'm glad I did. I loved how you attacked the enemies. You had this cool wooshing action shown. For being made in 48 hours, it was still very impressive. Most of these games are.

[You are red. You are blue.]

This was a great game, but I couldn't get past the level with the two long blocks. That is, there were only two. I got one of them off, but then I still couldn't advance. I did love the rest of the game though. It seemed too easy at first.

Then we got to that level where I couldn't advance. This is shaping up to be a great jam! This is definitely a cool theme too. The music was nice, but I wish there was a way to reset a level. It is indeed very emotional.

Bogden400 responds:

Thanks for the comment! The text for that level says "Maybe your mouse could set you right?". The intent was to let the player know that the right mouse button could be used to drag the camera around and change their perspective. Were you able to figure that out in the end?

[Super Ball & Chain]

I thought that was a lot of fun! Well, this is the first submitted game of this jam. I think it started out pretty well! I'm glad it was an original idea. Again, it is the first in this series. It's still pretty hard for me.

Everything's a jam nowadays, isn't it? You really had to keep the ball going with this. The music was great too. I'm glad this made the thumbnail. Other people might have thought it was just okay, but I thought it was great!

[Piconjo: AFK]

I had no idea this would be so fun! Okay, it's a game where you do practically nothing, but that's what made it awesome! It would mostly be nothing without the medals. I just love peaceful it is. It's easy to see why this is the highest ranked submission for Piconjo Day 2021! It can take hours to beat, but I don't care!

I just love how it's so serene. That is what catching fish is like, huh? I could just watch this all day and get all my medals. Happy Piconjo Day 2021! I can easily say it's the best Piconjo Day ever! I've just been so busy lately, it's nice to have some light stuff to play.

Stepford responds:

It's the first Piconjo Day, so even if it was absolutely awful - it would still 'technically' be the "BEST" Piconjo Day ever!

Jokes aside, thanks for the kind words! I'm glad you enjoy the game so much.

[Piconjo Sp33ch]

I have to admit I was underwhelmed. I mean, it was just me typing stuff in. That was it. I guess that is the point of Piconjo. Well, Happy Piconjo Day anyway! This does fit his theme. I guess it's just a day for high ratings.

You type stuff and that's it. I really did like the music, though. You know how to create some good atmosphere with this. Well, I played it on 6/9. That's pretty clever.

larrynachos responds:

Yeah it's incredibly basic, I was shocked when it was front paged. It was a neat opportunity for me to try doing something I haven't done before (replacing text), and it seems to have entertained enough people :)

One feature I wanted but couldn't achieve was to have the text be read aloud via text to speech xD

Thanks for stopping by!

[Cats n Wires]

I had a lot of fun with this. I'm glad I figured out how to move my character around. Anything about rescuing cats is awesome. I had no idea it would turn out this way. You always deserve credit for that.

The simplistic style worked too. This is the Internet! Shouldn't we have a Cat Day here or something? Eh, I guess that would be too predictable. The calm music is also amazing.

[MOLE]

Wow, that really was a lot of fun! I have to admit I'm stuck at Level 11. It's very enjoyable for something with not that many levels. Really a unique game. It's weird how this was uploaded, frontpaged, and given an award all on separate days!

I remember a game with only one button. That's what inspired the "Dot Dot Dot" animation! The music was nice too. I'm glad we'll always have creative games like this. It's weird for a mole to be blue. Then again, all of his design is weird.

[Lotus Armageddon]

I admit to being confused by the tutorial. It tells me to go to the other space. I do and it just tells me to go back to the first one over and over. At least it didn't have medals. Then I won't be too motivated to beat the game! It still has amazing graphics.

I thought it said Rathing Games. Yeah, this is a more original title. I thought it might be a hotel game at first. You know, like "Ghost Motel"? It was something with ringing the bell.
