Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Treasure Puzzle]

Hey, not bad!

I've seen a lot of flashier games, but this was pretty cool indeed! The graphics were made pretty nicely and I also liked the sounds that happened when you got some in a row. I think the things had some pretty original designs. It's certainly not the most original of its kind, but there really isn't anything particuarly negative about it. It's the sort of thing a person could play for a few minutes. Anyway, I think you did a good job and made everything a person could expect in a game like this.

[Level Up!]

Medals?

Wow, this is one of the strangest games I have ever played in that it was kind of hard and kind of easy. It really annoyed me how you couldn't kill any bad guys. I was thinking you might as I could've missed something a sign said, but I guess I was wrong. The graphics by themselves are really impressive and good-looking. I'll probably never be able to complete this game, despite having it at 98.1%. A lot of stuff in this game was just frustrating but overall it was a very well done and original idea and I don't think my medals are showing up as I have certainly found over 100 gems.

[Tower of Greed]

Awesome!!

I had no idea what this was going to be about, but it was something great!! It helps that this game is just so freaking addictive and I could play it all day to get those medals. The characters are all designed nicely and I'm not sure how to fight the enemies. Anyway, the sound was great and managed to be really cheerful and goofy. The useage of color was very nice as well and there was a lot of cool stuff going on. I also liked how this managed to just be so freaking addictive!!

[Block Squad]

Very nice

I know a lot of people are going to compare this to the other similar game with medals, but this was nice on its own. I especially liked the contrasting character designs. I wasn't quite sure how much of everything I needed to get to advance. It was pretty hard with only 30 moves, but I can learn to do it better. I liked how the blocks looked so doomed whenever the number of moves you had made was closer to zero. This was a pretty colorful theme and it made me feel cheerful.

[Battalion: Skirmish]

Very nice!

I admit I didn't know what was going on in this crazy game (I couldn't even figure out how to shoot!) but it was well done. I should appreciate all the time and effort you put into making those awesome graphics. All of the tanks and backgrounds are designed wonderfully as well. I liked how you could move your guys around and see parts of the compass as you did it. The interaction between the characters was pretty cool as well. The sounds weren't too bad and it was nice how you could turn off the music.

[-The Clicky Game-]

Uh, wow

I'm going to have to admit, this is a pretty original idea for a game. It looks like it didn't take much effort to make, but it is in fact annoyingly fun! I still can't click past the stupid third level with that dog's nose or whatever (I know it's part of an animal). The sound it made whenever the picture went away was irritatingly fun as well. I swear I've clicked on that image at least once! I would say it's a glitch but it's just so freaking hard that probably isn't even the case seeing as how these pictures are so freaking fast.

[A Slight Mishap]

Better than I thought!

Well, it didn't look like anything that impressive at first, but it certainly got better! This made me think of Disney's "Beauty And The Beast" with all the stuff walking around. I also enjoyed the flying hairdryer and toaster (man, has it been forever since I've seen that!). I was trying to shoot that stupid little black gecko that kept coming out of the tree. The music wasn't too bad either. While I was a little mad you couldn't reload until you were empty, it was still quite enjoyable.

lol I can shoot the lizard in the 1st second of the game.. now that is a challenge!!

[The Portal Soundboard]

First soundboard in a long time

I'm just not used to listening to soundboards on this website a whole lot, but this was a good listen. I especially like pressing everything at once and watching as the different sounds gradually go out. I seemed to have pressed my luck when I pushed the button that launched that lengthy song. The background was nice and the voices were pretty clear. I'm not the biggest fan of these games, but am aware of their significance. At first I thought this was going to be a soundboard for Newgrounds stuff, as it was called "Portal" after all!

[The Company of Myself]

Wow, great style!

I admit that this was pretty hard to do (especially the level with the pink stairs) but it was great! I've played these kinds of games before, but this is among the best. It's because the graphics work so well in being so simply designed. I also liked how you put an actual story as well as real emotion into the game as well. You certainly came up with a lot of interesting stuff along the way. It's probably going to take some getting used to, but this was a very enjoyable game.

[Forever Samurai]

Awesome!

This was one of the best samurai games I have every played! The art was simply fantastic and I loved how everything looked, especially the flowing water and the bright colors. The designs of the enemies were some of the best I've ever seen, especially the weird banshee things. I think that what really won me over was how the ghosts came into your body after being killed once. It was a very nice experience playing this, even if my computer lagged a bit. One of your better games and one thing that sets you as one of my favorite game designers!

Aw shucks, you're too nice. Funny you mention the flowing water, I had so much trouble making it not look horrific that I eventually gave up and just never used it again. Ha!
