Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[UM: Snowball Holiday]

Quite interesting

When I first saw this, I thought it was going to be one of those "Meet 'N F*ck" things. I guess it's because it started off with talking about how the girls were going to get their clothes. I was pleasantly surprised to find out it was something entirely different and much cleaner. It had kind of a strange intro (I couldn't tell what was going to happen), but it took off from there. It is interesting how you manage to make a simple slice of life story into a real adventure. I appreciate all of the different techniques and designs used in this, and I hope you had as good a Christmas as I did this year!

Thanks!

Very good stuff

I am not the biggest fan of yours, but this was a pretty nice game. I really like the music that is put in, especially how one of the things that drops down are none other than something to turn the audio off. It's a kind of game where you can really explore your own environment. Of course, it also makes you appreciate all the great colors of the world. One of the best parts is the simple animation/graphics, which give you a good homey feeling. I am indeed having a very merry Christmas and I hope you do as well.

SilverStitch responds:

Glad to see a non-fan enjoing the game~
Merry Christmas~!

Woah, great!

I have been chronicling all of the stuff you have submitted to this website and this is among your best! It's great to know that an underdog like you won Daily 2nd Place and got such a high rating. This was really fun as it used a lot of bright colors. The music was nice as well as the sound you made when you collected them. I could not understand it at first, but now that I can, it's very addictive. If you keep submitting more great games like this, you will be sure to get the recognition you deserve!

KiggD responds:

thank you ericho!

[Arthropod Armada]

A game?

I think this may in fact be the first game I have ever played that featured art by ZekeySpaceyLizard! This isn't of course to say I didn't appreciate the work the rest of you guys did, like Bug. I think this may be the only time where every contributor had a different job! The result is a fun game that has everything you could want from a standard game. I thought the backgrounds and enemies were all quite interesting. It is great to see a lot of people come together to make something that is truly fun.

DAIRYDOG responds:

You are especially positive about this project, thank you.

More zombies!

It helps that I am a huge fan of the zombie genre and this delivers exactly what you would want from a zombie game! It was really cool to see the different kinds of zombies. It doesn't to be that hard, as I got pretty far without even using grenades. Does LMB mean the letters, "L", "M", and "B", or is it abbreviating something? The controls work nicely and I liked how the character could move around well, especially around the trees. Of course, it's awesome fun as always to kill tons of zombies.

Xplored responds:

LMB is abbreviating "Left Mouse Button".
Thanks for the 10!

A great RPG!

I wasn't interested in playing this, as I am not a fan of RPG's, I have to admit. I am very impressed that this has such a high recommendation as a great ARPG and it was made by Funnaut! I was always a fan of yours, and I was disappointed that you didn't seem to be getting more publicity. With this RPG you have made your own community. While I don't think I will register, this was great to play if only for the awesome animation/use of graphics. The game doesn't seem that hard, and is something you can get used to.

Funnaut responds:

Hi Ericho! Thanks for your review! We have fans now because of you! :)

[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 :)

[A Slight Mishap]

Better than I thought!

Well, it didn't look like anything that impressive at first, but it certainly got better! This made me think of Disney's "Beauty And The Beast" with all the stuff walking around. I also enjoyed the flying hairdryer and toaster (man, has it been forever since I've seen that!). I was trying to shoot that stupid little black gecko that kept coming out of the tree. The music wasn't too bad either. While I was a little mad you couldn't reload until you were empty, it was still quite enjoyable.

just2pale responds:

lol I can shoot the lizard in the 1st second of the game.. now that is a challenge!!

[Forever Samurai]

Awesome!

This was one of the best samurai games I have every played! The art was simply fantastic and I loved how everything looked, especially the flowing water and the bright colors. The designs of the enemies were some of the best I've ever seen, especially the weird banshee things. I think that what really won me over was how the ghosts came into your body after being killed once. It was a very nice experience playing this, even if my computer lagged a bit. One of your better games and one thing that sets you as one of my favorite game designers!

acrazycanadian responds:

Aw shucks, you're too nice. Funny you mention the flowing water, I had so much trouble making it not look horrific that I eventually gave up and just never used it again. Ha!
