Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[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!

acrazycanadian responds:

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!

[School Bus Frenzy]

Pretty interesting!

I have to admit that this is a pretty original idea for a game. It was fun how I managed to kick the guy there without even trying to. It is pretty hard, but I'll just have to learn how to use farts get to get better of course. I'm not that familiar with your work, but you're not bad at all, even if it isn't some of the best stuff I've seen. I thought the graphics were pretty nice, and the kids all had goofy designs. The music could've been a little better, though.

[A Crow in Hell 3]

Controls!

Well, I just simply can't get far in this game at all, as not only does everything kill you, but you go way down or up without doing anything! With that being said, I could at least appreciate the graphics. I liked how the keys and the backgrounds were all designed with the black and orange color scheme. I believe this is a good representation of Hell, as it's impossible to get far in it! The music wasn't too bad either, as it's quite impressive on the sheer amount that you used. I would at least recommend this to a more skilled gamer.

[Fly Me To The Moon - game]

Wonderful!

I have no clue why this doesn't have a higher rating as it is fantastic! I really haven't played a lot of these games probably because I haven't seen a lot. Everything works perfectly with this, especially the child like animation and drawings that still manage to have a lot of depth! The premise is also funny as well, with the mice cheering him on. I like how the dark mouse contrasts to the more colorful background. This was very fun to play, and it is anticipating just to find out what lies ahead above!
