Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[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 :)

[Snack Slice]

I have to admit that this just wasn't my thing. I mean, it was too hard for me. The second level with the orange was annoying. Why didn't you advance to the next level immediately? It was annoying having to go back to the menu. I do like the idea.

It reminds me of those fruit slice games. Well, just not as fun. I would have to be more skilled at it to enjoy it. At least the music was good. At least giant chocolate bars are cool.

kaiakairos responds:

thanks for the feedback! once you beat a level theres a button in the bottom right corner that takes you to the next one. going back to the menu is just for if you want to skip a level :)

[Comatoast: Unjammed]

How is this supposed to be scary? Well, better it gets worse later on. I admit the game was pretty hard. The spikes were easily the most annoying parts. My favorite parts were the commentary. I just listen to that as an audio submission.

This reminds me of the video game "I Am Bread". Yes, that's a real game too. I don't even use my toaster that much. Nice title. Happy Halloween 2022 again!

crow-seeds responds:

The deeper you go, the scarier it gets! Happy Halloween to you too!

[Culpa]

Well, that was certainly interesting. I thought it said "Tulpa". This certainly works out as a Halloween cartoon. Now, this is certainly meant to be spooky. You know, with the flood of blood and everything. Hey, I rhymed!

I like how casual he is about blood being everywhere. I would think he'd want to get any key he would right away. I got the red color obviously! I liked the sound of the rain. It's uh, realistic.

Meiallu responds:

"Culpa" is "Guilt" in Portuguese. And about the blood, it actually doesn't make too much sense for she to be so calm 😂

[Just Passing - Chapter 2]

Oh, I didn't even know this was a Halloween submission at first. I'm impressed at how this got featured at the top of the page. It was a rather light-hearted game. It didn't seem scary at all. Well, I guess all stuff with ghosts could qualify for Halloween. I really liked how sincere this was.

It was great to have good mobility. You certainly had a lot to do. This main character is just a nice lady. I couldn't remember the first one. As I've said many times before, I've reviewed so many things I can't remember them all.

JoelLikesPigs responds:

Thanks 😊
Halloween to me is ghosts and goblins - not necessarily horror, just an opportunity to use monsters as a theme y'know?

[Escape From Monster Tower]

Well, this was a genuinely good game, but damn was it hard! Everything had to be timed to absolutely precision! I had no idea what was really going on. It's hard to be motivated to play something so long and difficult. It was done with good sprite work. The music was good too.

I can't even give instructions on how to beat the level. People don't like it when I give instructions in my reviews anyway. A lot of it just seemed like luck. Yeah, I'm just not into puzzle games. I still have to recommend it to people who are.

blit-blat responds:

Thanks, glad you thought it was good, even if it was too hard! As @qwerty741 said in their review, when you move, the monsters (and spikes) also move. The direction they move in doesn't always correspond with your direction, but it does remain constant.
