Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Everybody Edits 1.0+]

Needs sound, but great

I enjoyed playing this game simply because it was a great example of creativity. People are coming on to a flash game that is similar to an open forum where everyone can give what they think is the best things to add. I did not like how there was no sound, but that was my only problem. It is the sort of thing that you can do on all day as there are so many environments to explore. I love those little smiley faces who just roll and float everywhere for no reason. It is an interesting game as there is really not even a way to win.

Benjaminsen responds:

Mmm good point about sound, just hard to find something that does not annoy most of the users

[killah thrillah!]

Too old looking

This would probably have been better if it was a flash that was submitted in a time like 2000. Now, it looks pretty cheesy. I will say that the thing most disappointing about this was that it had nothing to do with Michael Jackson at all. Yeah, I know he is dead, but you could have at least put the "Thriller" song in, as it is my favorite song of his. I did kind of like how the blood remained in the same window when you shot the guy. You really have a lot of room to show off your creativity as best you can.

mizmoz responds:

i know its old looking but i wanted to make an old school game :)

[Ultimate Chess]

Very cool!

I am going to say right now that I really have no idea at all how to play chess, but perhaps I know more than the average person. I love how you get to see all the different kinds of death scenes. There was a point where I was simply unable to move anywhere. I like the graphics used in this one, as the way the characters look is really goofy. I may not be good at it, but it is just fun to hear all those guys talk in their dumb voices. It seems like something a lot older, but still manages to be funny.

RatherRandomReality responds:

Humor and entertainment were the main ideas behind this game, I'm glad you were able to enjoy it.

[Pyroscape]

I found the secret

How ironic that the only medal I would gain would happen to be the secret medal. Anyway, I thought this was a standard game but it was unique in that it was an entire live-action game with some animated fire in it. It must be interesting to win both the Underdog of the Week and Daily 4th Place award. Everything is realistic although I am sure you modeled that on your own room. It was interesting to see your comments when I clicked the wrong things in the room. It took me intuition to make this.

Fro responds:

Thanks for checking this one out before you checked the sequel out. ;) (making fun of your review for the teaser for number 2)

[Pico's Ludo Vengeance]

Very nice game

I find myself very fortunate that I was only the 5th person to view this submission. I even managed to get the first medal! For all of you who may want to know about that, you simply find the giant flower and then go back to the woman picking the flowers. It is the first time I ever played a game with medals and got a medal before it was passed! As for the game itself, the graphics were nice, but the controls could use a bit of work. It is too bad that you were not able to get this submission in time for Pico Day.

MarcyVF responds:

Thanks :)
Yeah the medals are not "in function" right now it seems, but I'll just wait for that. I really tried to finish it for Pico Day but I was away all weekend so yeah... :/ Too bad.

[Attack of the Ubermothers]

Loved the slo-mo

This was a very nice game of me to play, simply because I love the graphics. It was a little annoying with how I was not able to go anywhere, but still good. I just wish that I could shoot those stupid grannies that keep popping up. I also love how the madness just seems to never end and while it is hard, it does give you time to come up with strategy. There is so little thought to this game, I could not help but love it. The slow motion is among the most fun that I have ever seen used in any game here.

Arkuni responds:

All my submissions have slow-motion somewhere.
People can love it & hate it all they want. I'm still gonna use it ^_^

[Super Adventure Game Land]

Great title

I knew this was going to be a very interesting game just from the great title it had. At first, I thought it might be a joke game where it was simply no gameplay at all and that guy talking on for so long. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it did indeed have a story and adventure of its own. I do not know how to talk to the princess or fight the dragon or anything. It is still a very cute effort because you are simply able to have those cute little graphics. I like how stupidly the character's legs move.

squidly responds:

Ouch, I don't like those "joke games" where the joke is that the game doesn't exist.
I like some substance, you know?
And uh, to talk to the princess, I mean, it's just like the info booth guy.
And the dragon, just keep going right... You'll go through the "dangerous outside," the forest of homicidal trees, and eventually you'll get to his cave.

[Programming God]

I am a fast typer

I was also a fast typer and this seemed to be a good way to test out my true skills. My highest score is 269,000 which at least ended me up on the Top 40. I love this game simply because I have always prided myself on being a great typist and this is such a great way to do it. It reminds me of that scene in the movie "Bruce Almighty" where Bruce basically does that. He is, in fact, playing God in that scene. I like the holy music that is played to truly give the player a sense that he or she is a God.

Wiesi responds:

Thanks for reviewing!

[Chain Reaction Tutorial]

A good game

I kept thinking that this was going to be an actual tutorial about how to make a game like this in Flash Player. I mean, that was the title, but this was interesting to play at least. It has been awhile since I have played a game like this, so it is good to be back. You were definitley right on how Level 7 was the hardest one (or at least the hardest so far). My biggest complaint is that the graphics are a little simplistic. It is still a creative game and gives you a lot of freedom to make strategy and combos.

kegogrog responds:

Wow, thank you. I thought this game was already buried somewhere deep under newgrounds' floor tiles. You may enjoy FLU!!2, same concept, better graphics.
Anyway, thanks for your review and the tutorial is on my blog.

[Pixel Basher]

FLAWLESS!

This is easily one of the best games that I have ever played! I simply love all of the powerups and how they all have such unique characteristics to them, especially with how you can divide them up into four balls! There are small balls and giant balls flying everywhere exploding everything in sight! It is perhaps the most epic javanoid like game that I have ever played! The graphics are superb, and everything is done in an extremely original manner! I loved every second of playing this!

KingDotCom responds:

Thank you for the great review! We're very happy that you enjoyed the game.
