Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Cannonballin']

I found myself enjoying this. It may not have been that well detailed, but it was certainly quite fun. Wow, you added medals fast. I assume a 30 is when you get the medal. I got close at 28. I didn't even know how to collect those things at first.

I admit I was annoyed at how the dialogue was repeated. I never had problems with air. It was pretty easy to just avoid stuff if you wanted to. At that fast a rate, you can get lucky (or unlucky, depending on your point of view). It does a lot with its simplicity.

critatonic responds:

I was able to update it so the dialogue is skipped when you reset, thanks for the feedback.

[Badass Beatrice]

I'm sorry, but this just looked really cheap. It looks like something from 2000. I do find it funny how you get expelled for giving someone the finger. I mean, you set stuff on fire and shot stuff! It was obviously inspired by Pico. A ton of stuff here is Pico anyway.

Dang, I need to look at the audio credits! Then I would have known it was Pico music! I am impressed by the high score. This is just my opinion that it's bad. At least nostalgia is good.

NevaZ0r responds:

the game wasn't inspired by Pico actually lol, there is an easter egg from Pico's school in the game (which is where the pico music is used) but the game was actually inspired by School posters they used to hang in classrooms like "Rules of being a good listener"

[Downhill to Infinity]

I should have looked at the controls first. Anyway, I just didn't care for this. It's mostly because I'm no good at it. I did like how there was a great looking menu screen! I did like this animation. I guess I'm not into skateboarding games.

At least I got some experience out of it. When I started to get the hang of it, the holes just disappeared! Oh, I probably just jumped over them. I wish there was a simple "Jump" option. Well, that isn't the point of skateboarding.

cheesycoke responds:

Thank you for the feedback! Sorry to hear this didn't exactly vibe with ya, but I totally get it. Appreciate that you gave it a good shake, though!
Also "When I started getting the hang of it, the holes disappeared!" Gotta love random level generation

[NG BBS Awards 2022]

Yeah, it took me awhile to open up to this, but it's very fun. I've played representations of computers like this and they're always entertaining. It's not that hard to find the hidden medals. You just click on anything you can! I guess I shouldn't explain how to get them, then. Some people won numerous awards.

That's not their fault. They're just that awesome! Aww, there's no reviewer awards. Well, quality is more important than quantity anyway. Hey, a lot of people like my reviews!

Little-Rena responds:

If you have suggestions for awards, feel free to PM me, and I'll try to include them next year.

[Flanders Killer 8]

That wasn't that great. This game actually seemed way too old. It was like something made in 2001. Well, I'm not interested in playing the whole thing. It would make more sense to have Eda in it. She died too!

Ned is pretty unlucky with his wives. I did love hearing that music. Good thing you don't get to see Apu being killed. Then you'd be racist! I hate Hari Kondabolu so much.

Aprime responds:

Apu is in the game, can I get 4 stars now?

If you love Flanders Killer - please become a fan http://aprime.newgrounds.com/follow :)

[Peter the Ant Clicker]

Well, this was definitely very easy, meaning it was quite boring. I wish there was more variety with how he was attacked. I wanted him to at least splatter some. It was just the same thing over and over. The original game was way better. I do love these author's comments.

You are so proud of yourself! Hey, if I got that, I'd be proud too. People should enjoy this for how goofy it is. Well, mostly how easy it is, again. At least the hammer was bloody.

Slowsolid responds:

Thanks dad

[Pad of Time]

Well, this game was quite fun, but boy was it hard! I still have to give it credit for being so well detailed. I love everything that goes on. I would just have to really study it to get a good understanding. I thought I could just travel through the future to get everything solved. I like to see the dogs jump.

Yeah, it's those small details that get me. This was still definitely playable. I'm not going to get a Supporter account. I think I can see why it didn't win any award. Then again, there's so many submissions, they can't all be winners.

Markanime responds:

Actually the game won a daily award today :)
And yes it's a though game just like the old ones hehehe
Im glad you enjoyed it

[Cookie Match]

I found this game to just be okay. I wasn't really that invested. It did have kind of a unique design. It would have helped if there was music. For some reason, I had to drag the cookies. I couldn't just use the direction keys.

It's still playable. I always like Christmas stuff! Well, unless it's awful. Christmas cookies are always cool. I like the details put everywhere.

sublevelgames responds:

Thanks for the comment. Just in case, you can move the cookies with the WASD keys!
I am very sorry that there is no music. I've never put music in a game yet. If there is copyright-free Christmas music, it would be nice to include it.

I just updated ArrowKey controls on v0.0.5!

[Cross Strike]

I loved this game and glad it's gotten some recognition! I can tell the robot was inspired by "Gundam". You knew how to create some interesting enemies. I had forgotten all about Robot Day! It seems like everyone else has too. You have to take time to rest to create strategy against these enemies.

I thought some enemies were invincible, but they just took longer to kill. I had no idea you'd turn into a spaceship! It's Gundam with Transformers! You took a fairly simply concept and ran all the way with it! Thanks for the kick-ass level map too. You can make so much action with it.

Yword responds:

Cool, glad you found that the mecha design is inspired by Gundam!
And thank you so much for playing! :)

[SageRage]

I liked this, but I wasn't good at it. The angle just didn't make sense to me. It was too awkward to really play that well. I did like the detail. The music was fairly good. I guess the graphics were fine.

It had some variety with the different goals. I like the idea of a hundredaire. I guess before a million it isn't worth mentioning. It was kind of unique, but not quite for me. It didn't come off as rewarding.

Joe-Mega responds:

You are a blessing Ericho. We love you :)
