Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Halloween Shooter]

Happy very belated Halloween!

I thought that this was pretty enjoyable if not one of my favorites. The design of the bats was very simple indeed but it didn't have to be too complicated to be enjoyable. I also liked how the design was done with really nice graphics of the gave, even if they didn't change. I couldn't even tell whether or not I had lost a pumpkin; it must have happened all at once. I guess it wasn't that addictive, but it is something that you could play for a long time. You have managed to take a very basic idea and still make it playable, so good for you.

[Dynamite Blast]

Very hard

Well, I have to admit that this was a very inventive game to play! I have never played a game in my life before where you could use explosives to help someone across something. It took me awhile to figure out. It was also very good how you had to only have train thing be saved but leave the rest destroyed. My biggest complaint is that it may in fact be too complicated for a game like this, as I was having trouble with it. Still, I guess I can admire things that allow a person to use their brains a lot.

[the Kill Kar II: Revenge]

Good stuff!

I'm not the biggest fans of these kinds of games (I can never get the controls) but it was pretty good. You have managed to take some simple drawings and make them good. I have yet to get any of the medals, and those really do motivate me to play this. The graphics were pretty good and the music wasn't too bad either. It's a fairly easy game to understand, but there's still a lot of things to do in its simplicity. It seems like it has been a long time ever since I played a car game where you just ran people over.

[Heavy Weapons]

Great game!

I was very impressed by the use of CGI (or whatever that was) for the graphics. I especially loved how it was such a simple idea that can be executed so well. Destroying ships over and over will never get old, even if it is hard to get the blue balls. I first thought this was going to be a Team Fortress 2 game, because of the title (Heavy Weapons Guy). The sound effects were pretty authentic, especially the laser blasts. You obviously put a ton of effort into this with all these levels and it really shows.

[Chaos Chamber]

Very nice!

While not one of my favorite games, this definitley had a lot going for it. I may have played games similar to it, but does into a whole new theme by itself! I was impressed at how the balls turned into boxes showing that the player couldn't just randomly click over and over (which I did). The fact that it's so fast-paced also contributes to its role as a good game or at least one that requires some skill. It was also cool to see how the designs and colors changed. I have never heard of you before, but it's nice to play some of your stuff.

JoUBG responds:

Thanks! I definately wanted the players to focus on what they were clicking on so the penalties for single-blocks get quite steep if you're reckless. I'm glad you enjoyed the color/shape changes :)

[Ug!]

Needs improvement

Well, I guess this was indeed just a person cutting other people up. I thought it was cool how the pig and the one guy had their heads cut off in two. It was a bit dull how there was simply no music, and if there was some, that would be my reason to rank this up to a 5. It was annoying how you couldn't really complete the level, but at least it was fun to do that. The designs could have been better, with more color effects and more action. I guess it is an alright way to kill one or two minutes.

[Supercat Show]

Cats?

Well, this has got to be one of the strangest games I have ever played. I don't know a word of German or have ever even attempted to do so. It's great that you point out it doesn't matter at all and you should just enjoy the animation. With that being said, I really did enjoy the animation style. While it was a very short game (and I couldn't find much point in it for me) you get props for using cute kitty cats in the game. If you just throw in a bunch of cats, you can be sure something is going to be popular.

[MADNESS: Hank's Nemesis]

Pretty good game

While not on the line of stuff like the "Madness Accelerant" series, this was pretty nicely done. It annoyed me how I couldn't use the laser to kill the enemies after awhile. At first I thought the other clones were supposed to be enemies. It lagged a bit when new guys showed up, and it seemed like it took forever to be killed by those guys even when I was trying! Anyway, I thought the animation was good and it was loyal enough to the series. I also have to give you props for having really cool music.
