Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[AVOIDAL]

Cool!

It definitly gets harder as it goes on, but this is a very stylistic and very fun game to play! The red robot featured looks a lot like one of the robots from the "We Are Robots" series. It was really unique but boy did you have to keep on moving every single second the game was on! It is so comforting to have so many medals here that you can earn some without even trying to. It was hard to tell how close I was to death, except when I was really bombarded by those little red guys. I like how the theme of using the enemies but still avoiding them is paradoxical.

HybridMind responds:

I'll have to check the "We Are Robots" series to see what you mean as I'm not familiar with that. Glad you liked the game and you make a good point about the health meter. It is tough to watch as you are dodging all over the place. Thanks again!

[NG Portal Radio v2 01]

Now and forever!

I was not that big of a fun of the audio portal at first, but then I came to realize that it was an important part of the work by people here on Newgrounds. What makes this so wonderful is that you can simply do nothing but click "random audio" all day. You guys worked together to make a great tribute for all those submitters out there. There is something for everyone here so you can never get bored. All the backgrounds and the way it is organized is very nice and professional-looking too. This is a great way for people to understand the audio portal even if they are not a fan, much less reviewer of it.

MCarsten responds:

Yeah, you got it. Thanks for the nice review and for the kind words. :)

[I-bot Reinterpretation]

What a robot

This was fairly fun to look at, although it was a bit hard to understand exactly what I was a game or not. It was more of a display of all the things you had done in FlashPlayer. It looks like you definitley did something right, because these drawings are pretty creative. It seems like the robot mascot is not used enough on Newgrounds. Have a Happy Halloween, although that doesn't mean much on this date. I am glad that you got help from MindChamber, as he is one of the most respected mods here.

Manuel-Dangelo responds:

it IS mostly a displayer, but there is not a tag for thoes, so... game it gone.
I agree that bots should have more spotlight, and yes, MindChamber is realy cool... just don't mess with him... he tends to get pissed of bit easy.

[Zombies - Surrounded]

Suits zombies

I really like the great and spooky atmosphere created by this awesome game. While I did not get that far, you really put a lot of detail into this as well as having some great voices. I think that if there was a real life zombie apocalypse, it probably would go out something like this. The only thing I did not like was how the humans were dead. It was weird to shoot a zombie at first and then go into a really peaceful state (at least as peaceful as you can be in a zombie environement like this). I also liked reading the journal.

MichaelJ responds:

Thanks for the review Ericho!

[Button Game 5]

Rejected?

I found out that the reason some games have 0 points is that they were apparently rejected from getting them. It is kind of sad when you keep submitting these things over and over and they are rejected. I suggest that you work a lot on Flash Player and the animation you are using. The backgrounds seem too sloppy and they could use work with more symmetrical lines. The game itself was actually pretty hard. I really had no clue what was going on or how far I was getting, even for a game made by you.

BanglaBoy96 responds:

I don't think it's sad at all!
I like having 0point Medals on my Games
as I am the biggest Producer of them!
Also this game was made almost a year ago so It was
a very early Project of mine! :D
I'm Improving and the Next Button Game will be better than ever

[Light Fright]

Nice music

This was a very simple game, but that did not stop it from at least being a little bit of fun. I was confused as to why the Boo was yellow when normally the Boos in the games are white. Or, I think they are all white. If anyone wants to know how to get the first medal (which is worth 0 points, BTW) just get over 500 points. I think the next one you probably get by getting over 1,000 points and so on. It was just lacking detail in a lot of areas, but at least it had a pretty soft tone to it. I especially like how graceful it sounds.

Mariofan9 responds:

Thank you much for your review.
The medal is worth 0 Points because the Admins would not approve it, sadly.
Next time I make a game, I will put more detail into it.

[Mini Games And Stuff]

Pretty mediocre

It is always nice to show off a wide variety of games to choose from, but the main weak point was that the animation was just not that good. The ideas for the games were fine, I suppose. It seems like you also could have put some better controls to this. I guess the use of controls was pretty original, but it mostly came off as being weird to me. Another thing to work on would be the background by adding a lot more detail. It is hard to judge you as I have not seen your other work, but I bet you could do better.

loopchocolateman1234 responds:

Thanks, the next game I make will be better. I just gotta keep practicing and actually take my time.

[Rumble Ball field 3]

It's a lot of fun

It is amazing how fun you manage to make something with such a simple premise. The only complaint is that it is kind of hard to aim the ball. I am not even sure how hard it would be to be able to hit everything that I was supposed to. Still, it is very entertaining because the graphics are flawless and the sounds are so impressive. It is especially funny how the little ball just bounces around everywhere. This is just a really addictive game to me because it is so easy to get a lot of points at first.

GameBalance responds:

Maybe someday I get back to that concept and improve it with better and faster gameplay.
