Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ninja Run -]

A guilty pleasure for me

I enjoyed playing this game even though I am not that good at it. I think the best thing about this is that it is truly a test of your own arrogance as you can simply go slow the entire time and get more meters in. I have yet to even lose one of my red health things. The graphics are decent enough and so is the sound. I was just impressed by how everything flowed so well and I do not even know how to use those things at the top. I just click buttons I already click and I manage to get through them.

YailenkoGames responds:

I'm glad you managed how the hook works. It seems some players unfortunately finding that difficult. I should have probably explained this in the tutorial. Thank you for playing!

[Wild Pixel West]

The wild west!

I have not played a lot of old West themed games here on Newgrounds, but this is probably the best! It took me awhile to understand that you could just jump over the barrels and everything. I also really like the use of pixellation in this one as the colors are just so good. There is so much going on in each level and you so many things you have to look out for. Every scene has something interesting going on, to avoid or to collect. You can play it all day and be interested in whatever is going to come up next.

TokiPark responds:

Glad you enjoyed the game and thanks for the feedback :)

[Touch The Bubbles 3]

Good game

I enjoyed playing this game, but it was not the best as it was really too hard for me. I admit that it is a game that is pretty different from what I normally do, so I can get used to it. I am just really agitated by the really small gaps you go through sometimes. I mean, it is hard enough getting all of those medals. Still, the music is pretty nice and it does have a really fun attitude to it with a lighthearted feel. It is pretty fun to just go around the levels and pop as many bubbles as you can as quickly as possible.

GameBalance responds:

Some effort necessary to win this game. Mouse move skill + some memory of the level.

[planet creator demo 2]

It was decent

Like many games before, this game makes the big mistake of choosing not to have any audio in it at all, which is never really good. I will admit that for that major flaw, it did have a lot of good qualities. As I am a big history buff, it made sense that I could follow through all the historical parts. It was almost like "SimCity" in that you build your own community but could have something like UFOs attacking. However, the graphics in this really do need work and it could be enjoyable that way. It was overall okay.

neverzonegaming responds:

thanks i was thinking there could be some choices that may lead you though the correct events in history and other choices that are outcmes and things that could have happened in history

[Pyroscape 2]

A great underdog!

This has everything that is necessary to win Underdog Of The Week Award and you deserved it! I do not think this was as good as the first one probably only because it was a little harder. It is pretty funny to just run around and hear hte comments these morons make. The game pretty much plays itself by just walking around and clicking everything in sight. The funniest comment is probably about the fire and the d*ck. The cutscenes were pretty cool and it is nice to see live-action stuff for a change.

Fro responds:

Hey sir. I may be a moron, but one thing that I am not sir, is a morn.

Best work

I have to admire this just for the sheer number of pieces of music that were used to make this amazing game! I am quite impressed at how great the graphics are and how fluidly the characters move. It is a very bizarre game and I doubt that I will even ever be able to understand it fully. What matters is that you have absolutely no idea what is going to happen next. I can not even tell how much damage the enemies are supposed to give me. It even reckons back to the days of classic side-scrollers like Super Mario Bros.

TrueDarkness responds:

This is the most interesting review I've ever read. Thank you

[Crossing the Pit]

Good for first

I can tell that this is your first submission as it has pretty simplistic animation. However, I still found it pretty enjoyable and it was pretty good when I gave it the chance. Some of the outcomes were predictable, especially with the teleporter thing. I suggest that next time you work on more of a background or at least with better colors. The sounds used in this are probably the most fun part. People have submitted things like this before (choosing the death of someone) but I still found this to be kind of original.

PuffballsUnited responds:

Next time I did work on the background :P

[Pixel Legions]

Quite different

This is one of the most unique games that I have played in a long time and it was so easy to just fall in love with how cool it was! I was not able to fight any more than 1 guy at a time and I find it hard to imagine how anyone could win this game. What matters is that the design is just so awesome not to mention how fun it is to just draw lines. I do not even care how far I get, I just care that I am playing something so cool. I love how the simplistic white lines contrast with the computerized blocks. It probably does take strategy.

acrazycanadian responds:

Fighting multiple enemies is all about tactics. Don't fight when you don't have to, let your enemies duke it out. Sweep in and crush them when you've got the chance.

[Ether Of Magic Cards]

Not bad!

When I first heard about the rules of this game, I thought it was going to be about "Yu-Gi-Oh". I actually do think that the card game itself is better than the show. Anyway, I love how you seemed to truly work hard to create something original. It was probably more fun than any standard card game would be, as I am not really a fan of those in the first place. I think the designs of the characters and the cards are all pretty creative. I normally do not like this games, but this one had so much going for it.

XweaselX responds:

Thanks for that th dev really made it work with careful balence. with some good animation

[Greek & Wicked]

Very weird

Well, this has seriously got to be one of the weirdest games that I have ever encountered. It is not so much that it is hard to play, it is just that I do not understand how to do anything. I mean, I attack the hydra as best I can, using both attack patterns but my score is still 0. I guess it is still a pretty unique game, as with the graphics and everything. While the gameplay may be incomprehensible, I have to give you credit for creativity. It would have been a little nicer if there was a song playing.

SwingSwing responds:

If a little hydra doesn't disappear, so you haven't killed it (that's why you gain no points).
You should try to stunt it and then find a solution to crush its head :)
