Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Clickery Hexagon]

That was pretty fancy. I can however, only give this a 7 out of 10. My medals didn't show up again. I remember getting them on screen. I don't really care what the medals even are. I still appreciate how clear cut everything is.

I mean, you just click and that's it. I loved seeing how the details were pretty good for a clicking game. The music was fine too. It just wasn't as rewarding as most games. It was still fine for what it was.

amyspark-ng responds:

thank you! i suggest to try again, the game now auto pings newgrounds every 5 seconds so newgrounds doesn't forget bout the game, i think that was the main issue

[THE SUBSPACE EMISSARY COLLAB]

Wow, this really did take me by surprise. I thought it was just going to be a boring slideshow showing the same thing. Instead, there was a lot of variety. Here I was thinking I was familiar with "Super Smash Bros."! This was instead a cool look at all the enemies and bosses. By visiting the artists' profiles, did you mean the other websites too?

You know like Deviantart and that stupidly named X thing? Anyway, this was quite fun. I liked how the pictures just flew around after a while. There are so many different characters. You do the franchise a good service.

Thank you, and yes, all links must be visited to earn gold

[Off the Grid - Summer 2024 Collab]

Wow, this was amazing! I have obviously never seen these characters before. It was just amazing to see not just a bunch of drawings, but the layout was incredible. I've never seen a format like this. You just clicked to see a closeup. Every other collab like this has you go across a screen quickly.

It was cool to see how it went from one edge to another. These characters were in practically the same poses too. It really is a massive collab. I was expecting the list of credits to go on forever. Somehow you made the list under credits & info fairly short, but everyone still gets acknowledged.

KittyhawkMontrose responds:

Thank you! @WillTommoDDD put together an amazing team of artists! I'm glad you like our clean design! We've been working on new stuff for Bando's Comic Wizard, and this is just a taste of it. 😄

[By the Blueprint]

Yeah, this wasn't my thing. I guess the graphics were pretty good. It was like a game of "Tetris" only more complicated. I was able to at least get pretty far. I think that was just luck. If you just make random stuff, you'll win eventually.

It wasn't worth checking out. I guess the instructions were pretty clear. It just needed to be rewarding. "Tetris" doesn't need to be like this. I think the premise is good, but it's just too cheap looking.

Man-o-Valor responds:

Yeah this for sure isn't my best work... right after I submitted it to the jam I thought of liek 4 ways it could be made so much more fun :[

[Clocks of the BBS 2024]

I'll probably never figure out how to get those secret medals. The best part of this was the music. I mean, that was wonderful! It could have used less of StrawberryClock. I noticed the mushroom penis art. You should be called the Cock Crew!

How has no one made that joke before? I'm normally not into simplistic art galleries, but this was quite nice. It fits the Clock Crew quite well. Wow, few people here were actually clocks. How nice of you guys to not be inclusive!

"I'll probably never figure out how to get those secret medals."
Magnus just put up a walkthrough with some screenshots I provided him.

Feel free to check it out if you just want to grab the secret medals and move on:

[Beetle Battle]

This was a pretty good little game. I admit it got frustrating. It was still interesting to see a giant beetle. I beat the beetle! The title already sounded redundant. I was in no way expecting the beetle to go into Bullet Hell mode.

I thought that was just something that happened halfway through the game. Instead, it was something that seemed to happen at any time. It was certainly harder than those grape juice...ball things. While frustrating, it's quite playable.

litroj responds:

Thank you! I will try to add progressive difficulty in the next version.
YOU BEAT THE BEETLE!! CONGRATS!

[DEAD DETENTION #2 (Rescribbled)]

This was a good game, but it was frustrating. It was the crawling bit that confused me. I just didn't know how to crawl! Anyway, it was a creative game for having mundane challenges. I appreciate all the artwork. The paper cut out style works well.

The music was fairly nice. It just got a bit tedious. I should not complain about the medals. I especially won't ask about the secret medal. You have to not just be quick, but figure out how everything works.

JackAstral responds:

You just click and hold on each icon until the next pops up

[Wallpaper 2.0 Collab]

I think my favorite might be 53xy83457. I recognize the first picture. I think it's a screenshot. I knew what kind of collab this would be. That's what wallpaper is! Dang, we're getting a lot of collabs lately.

It's weird how you can so quickly go through something that has so many people working on it. Well, we review single art pieces. We can review this too. That's some upbeat music too. I like how there wasn't really a theme, just Newgrounds in general.

ejulia14 responds:

Yeah, collabs are a HUGE staple of NG culture. Has been ever since the rise of multi-author submissions where people took advantage of this to credit people in submissions with sizable crews or have people involved in a collab!

[The Test of Insanity]

Okay, this was rather odd. In the first game, I tapped the scroll and it said I lost. I then advanced to the next level. The next two levels were rather easy. The fourth level said what 38-19 is. I know the answer is 19.

I clicked that I didn't see the answer, which I didn't. It said I lost. The first level said I kept missing the original. I didn't. I just couldn't understand this. It was too confusing.

jacklehamster responds:

Sorry the game got you confused. It's one of those rare side effects

[WOP]

I guess I have to admit that an automatic fighting game is kind of unique. I still didn't think this was that good. It was mostly because it was just too simple. I thought it would be hard to hit red. It ended up being pretty easy. I couldn't see any difference when I got more money.

The graphics are still rather nice. It's actually kind of a tune with how he gets punched. How does this guy even live like that? You know, the guy being punched. I'm sorry, but I just don't agree with everyone else.

Saucekye responds:

I understand I'm working on making the game have more stuff now so thank you for your input! I hope I can add enough stuff to where you enjoy it more. If there is anything else you think I should add let me know! Thank you for your honesty!
