Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Heartship]

This is probably the best game I've played in this jam! It's much more playable than most. I love how it switches up the enemies. That does kind of make it harder. Even on easy mode, it's hard! It's still very creative.

I like the simplistic design. I just wish there were easier medals. I didn't realize you had to split to defeat the skull with the rock. I thought you had to destroy the rock first. You then have to do it at an angle.

HealliesGames responds:

I definitely have to learn to adjust the difficulty for any kind of player.
At least, with a couple of attempts it seems easy to get carried away.
Thank you for your feedback, Ericho!

[Decryption: A Free Online MMO]

Again, this deserves credit for being creative. It just wasn't that fun. If you think I'm saying that because I want medals, well then, you're right. I didn't know where it ended. I certainly was alone. It was very suitable for the theme.

It's just a very slow game. I do like the theme. At least there's some way to communicate. The set up is great too. I'm glad I learned how to start the game by pressing Space and now I just realized you can go faster with Shift.

[Party Land]

Okay, I guess this game was at least playable. It just didn't seem to have much point. At least I could beat it. You could punch bears over and over. Still, it was at least unique. The animation reminded me of "Retarded Animal Babies".

I couldn't really eat at first. I then realized you had to punch and then eat the bears. The poop was weird. Again, still creative. It just needs more variety.

catproX responds:

Thanks for your feedback. I agree with your assessment as this was part of the game jam and I was seeking to make something to try out the HaxeFlixel engine. I may explore expanding Party Land to a full game.

[Reboot Resume Restore]

Well, this game does deserve some credit. It really is truly unique! If only I could beat it. There's so much to consider. It was too slow. Well, it would have been too easy if it wasn't.

This had a lot going for it, even if it was just blocks moving. You know how to make something interesting. If only there was an easy medal. I'm not alone here. I have my shadow or whatever that is.

HartfordGames responds:

Thanks.

[Ghost House]

The game was playable, but I didn't know what sense to make of it! How did I get those ghosts outside the manors? How did I even get outside? The design's probably too simple. Dang, these jams just never stop! I'm glad we're all still active.

Okay, I think I've figured it out. There's certain windows you can go through. It's still a bit too complicated. At least I was motivated to get some medals. Aren't I always?

[King's Orders]

I thought this game was just okay. It had pretty simplistic designs. Wouldn't this Ludum Dare's theme be marijuana? I mean, it's 420! Well, it's really 420 all month. This still hasn't been a good month.

I was afraid it would be too easy. I'm glad it more complicated with the peasants. I got 268. I have no idea what the average score is here. It's playable, but not really good.

[Keep Earth Alive!]

Wow, this game was really annoying. I didn't even know how I died half the time. I just seemed to go off the screen. That's a good way to die. Uh, Happy 420? You might have been high making this.

Yeah, this is the worst game for Ludum Dare 46. The graphics were really low quality. It just seemed like a bunch of random shapes. It's too simplistic. I'm sure you can do better.

[Keep Hope Alive]

Hmm, that was better than expected. Is this the first coronavirus themed game I've played? If not, it's a good start. I mostly like it because of how easy it is to understand. I thought home was where I came from! That was too confusing.

I liked the designs. It's a very nice setup. I like the idea of you helping other people like that. If only I could. I wore a mask for the first time yesterday.

keybol responds:

Thank you! I've always wanted to make a game that's relevant to this days. With Ludum Dare's theme I felt I could make one. Glad you wore your mask!

[up in the sky]

That was a pretty good game. I was surprised by the gameplay. I mean, I've never seen gameplay like this. It was kind of too weird to understand. That's not what I want in a game. It's definitely creative.

Congratulations on being featured for this Ludum Dare! Those always do catch me by surprise. It used a pretty unique environment. It was admittedly hard to be motivated. Could have used some music.

[Socrates Jones: Pro Philo]

Wow, this didn't win an award? I admit this was pretty informative. It's great to learn about philosophers. It's just that I thought this wasn't so repetitive. I have never been into point 'n click adventures. This was a tad boring.

It was still pretty playable. The animation probably could've been better. I'm more used to porn games here. Yeah, I thought it would turn into that. I'd rather get crocodile repellent.
