Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[How I Buy Petrol?]

A different kind of game

This was very different than most games on this website I have played. I really liked the goofy design of the main stick figure character, especially how his arms moved when he moved from one place to another. The funniest part was when he mentioned the first refridgerator was invented by the Wright brothers. I was actually hoping for some facts on that thing! It was a little hard to understand the controls (especially with entering rooms). It was very nice to see a nice, soft little adventure.

[UM: Snowball Holiday]

Quite interesting

When I first saw this, I thought it was going to be one of those "Meet 'N F*ck" things. I guess it's because it started off with talking about how the girls were going to get their clothes. I was pleasantly surprised to find out it was something entirely different and much cleaner. It had kind of a strange intro (I couldn't tell what was going to happen), but it took off from there. It is interesting how you manage to make a simple slice of life story into a real adventure. I appreciate all of the different techniques and designs used in this, and I hope you had as good a Christmas as I did this year!

Thanks!

[REPLAYING :the game:]

Never expected a sequel

The original was so good I was not expecting something new, but this was done very well indeed! I love it how you are working harder on creating backgrounds and character designs. I would still say the original was better, probably because it came first. I appreciated the different archetypes and styles put into this. I didn't like it how you had to use a gun, as there's some glitch on the computers I try that make you unable to control yourself. It was great to look at all the colors and graphics.

[Kill The GAP Models]

One of the best 2000 games

Looking back at this, it does seem pretty cheesy looking by today's standards, but it's still enjoyable. I can't say I'm one of those people who hates the GAP models, but this was just fun. It was especially cool how they made those whiny little noises whenever you shot them. For its time, the animation was nice for how the blood came onto the screen. You are one of my favorite authors, and one of the first I was a big fan of. You have made some truly creative work and even if you don't submit stuff to Newgrounds anymore, I go to your website every now and then.

[Vector Conflict The Siege]

I liked it

I thought this was a fairly well done game. I have to admit that I am not one of the people who thinks it is one of the best the site has to offer, but it's a good play. I appreciate how something with relatively simple design can be so fun. My biggest complaint is that the red tanks take an entire rocket to kill. At least it was fun moving around and trying to get used to the controls of this game. The music was also fine, and it did a good job of creating a suspenseful atmosphere.

[Colour My Fate]

Very good stuff

I am not the biggest fan of yours, but this was a pretty nice game. I really like the music that is put in, especially how one of the things that drops down are none other than something to turn the audio off. It's a kind of game where you can really explore your own environment. Of course, it also makes you appreciate all the great colors of the world. One of the best parts is the simple animation/graphics, which give you a good homey feeling. I am indeed having a very merry Christmas and I hope you do as well.

SilverStitch responds:

Glad to see a non-fan enjoing the game~
Merry Christmas~!

[Santa Fu!]

Good enough

This is the first Christmas game I have played this year and it seemed to work quite well for me. I'm glad I was able to figure out that to defeat the bosses you just had to crouch down to hit them. I am not a fan of the original "Kung Fu" games, so it didn't feel quite nostalgic. The enemies were designed interestingly enough though. I remember that "Turbo Man" thing from "Jingle All The Way" and it was kind of cool to see that. It is something I will need to work with (it could use more variety) but it was nice to get some medals.

[Back2Back]

Quite interesting

I was expecting more of the game where you placed things from a birds point of view, but it was different! I really have to admire how awesome the CGI-like graphics are. I especially like watching the little enemies move and the firing of the guns. Everything just seems to be designed well, even if I couldn't quite understand the gameplay. It was just fun to see those little guys get blown up without even having to do anything. Sure, that caused damage to you as well, but still fun.

[Drag Box]

A fun and original game!

It was funny to see that logo with the guy throwing the paper so fast! I know that's really lame, but this was a fun game to play even if it had pretty simplistic designs! At first, I thought your goal was not to hit the red things as the thing above was a health bar. It seemed pretty impossible to not even hit any of them, but it's nice that you just have to get to the side of the screen. I think I actually did worse when I found that out. It's very nice to know that you can take a simple idea but really make it fun.
