Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Junior Juggle]

Okay, I admit the game wasn't a classic. It was still pretty awesome with how you could balance all those things at one time. The idea of protecting a baby is awesome. I'm so glad you don't see the body when the baby dies. I got 59 seconds once! Don't worry, I later got over 60.

I like the goofy layout. It's good for a quick game. You can get all medals in less than two minutes! Not that it still can't be hard. Glad it was frontpaged.

Miltage responds:

Thanks for playing. Glad you could find something good out of it.

[Factions]

Wow, that was weird. I admit I had trouble learning how to play it. It was at least rewarding. My favorite bit was the little sounds they made. I guess I didn't understand the directions at first. The CGI was really good.

Well, as good as these graphics can get. Crosses? Is this supposed to be like a religious war? I don't know their beliefs. The colors are great too.

Frenchie14 responds:

I'd love to hear more about what you had trouble learning if you want to message me :)

Haha, no, they're not crosses. They're supposed to be people, but as you could probably guess I'm not an artist. I guess these are the 3D equivalent to child stick figure drawings :P

[Melody Shuffle]

Hmm, can't say I cared for this, because I wasn't good at it. Even at Level 2, it was hard. At least it was a unique game. It's nice to have something challenging. The graphics are certainly great. Why is there just one medal?

That's way too hard! Yes, I play games for the medals. This was at least entertaining. This can be depressing. Only one level beaten?!

jazzDgames responds:

I added more medals for 10 and 20 puzzles solved. Thanks for the feedback!

[Interstate Drifter 1999]

I'm sorry, but I just didn't care for this game. I know I've played a game like this before. I don't remember having fun then either. At least you have a lot of lives. Well, as long as you have energy. It's just not exciting enough to want to go on.

At least the colors are nice. It just isn't for me. The sounds work pretty well. The gameplay just doesn't appeal to me. I'm not really into racing games.

UltimoGames responds:

That's allright, can't please everyone all the time

[Bounce Back]

This game was freaking amazing! I can't believe it only has a score of 3.24! It was one of the best games I've played in a long time. It was just like the old Zelda games. The colors were gorgeous. I loved the different variety of enemies.

You mostly have to just lure them into the sand. Thank God they don't have long range attacks! Anyway, I figured out the secret medal. I guess I won't say it. I love how you get a good clear view of everything. What a wonderful underappreciated game!

KilledByAPixel responds:

Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Adding enemies with ranged attacks is definitely on the list for the next major update. Using sand is a great tip.

[Coordinator]

I was pretty confused by this game at first. I didn't know what was going on. I didn't even know how I was destroying enemies. I managed to get a medal, so I'm not complaining. It was a pretty interesting game. I guess it probably could have used more detail.

It was still fun though. The music was quite nice. It wasn't easy. Well, maybe it was easy at times. I liked how the medals were set up.

ToadieTechnika responds:

The 4 - direction, laser beams from the player allows you to destroy enemies :D

[Gunhook.io Online]

I admit that I couldn't really get into this. It's mostly because I couldn't control my character well. I never really was into these kinds of games. Still, it's kind of different. The graphics aren't that great. It seems too glitchy.

I know other people would enjoy this. Well, the score isn't that high anyways. I'm just not interested in getting into it. At least we have more CGI games like this. You'd think we'd make the transition by now.

keybol responds:

I've improved the controls with less sensitivity. Gunhook is also slowed down.

[Heartship]

This is probably the best game I've played in this jam! It's much more playable than most. I love how it switches up the enemies. That does kind of make it harder. Even on easy mode, it's hard! It's still very creative.

I like the simplistic design. I just wish there were easier medals. I didn't realize you had to split to defeat the skull with the rock. I thought you had to destroy the rock first. You then have to do it at an angle.

HealliesGames responds:

I definitely have to learn to adjust the difficulty for any kind of player.
At least, with a couple of attempts it seems easy to get carried away.
Thank you for your feedback, Ericho!

[Party Land]

Okay, I guess this game was at least playable. It just didn't seem to have much point. At least I could beat it. You could punch bears over and over. Still, it was at least unique. The animation reminded me of "Retarded Animal Babies".

I couldn't really eat at first. I then realized you had to punch and then eat the bears. The poop was weird. Again, still creative. It just needs more variety.

catproX responds:

Thanks for your feedback. I agree with your assessment as this was part of the game jam and I was seeking to make something to try out the HaxeFlixel engine. I may explore expanding Party Land to a full game.

[Reboot Resume Restore]

Well, this game does deserve some credit. It really is truly unique! If only I could beat it. There's so much to consider. It was too slow. Well, it would have been too easy if it wasn't.

This had a lot going for it, even if it was just blocks moving. You know how to make something interesting. If only there was an easy medal. I'm not alone here. I have my shadow or whatever that is.

HartfordGames responds:

Thanks.
