Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[FisherShark]

Yeah, I cared for this very little. I think it's because it had no sound. It had no detail as well. It was just a shark on a background eating fish. That's literally all it was. It was way too boring.

You need to put more detail into everything. At least it had sharks. Those are usually pretty cool. This was just too boring. Dares have given us much better.

fascka responds:

Hi! I had really forgotten about this, I made this when I was 13 years old after two "programming classes" we had at school.
Really sorry you didn't enjoy it but I'm not going to add anything to it.

[ZS Dead Detective - Brain Drain]

I'm not into point and click adventure games, but this was quite good. It's mostly because of the great animation. Everything looks very nice. Thank you for the easy medal. I mean, I literally don't know how to get any others. The music is nice too.

It might not be Halloween anymore, but the horror feeling can still live on. Well, it's obviously more mystery. Zombies are always awesome. You bet I watch "The Walking Dead". The atmosphere is great too.

Muja responds:

Ahah yeah, medals can be easier to get than in other games... At least, some of them. Thank you for your kind review, especially since p&c games aren't really your thing!
P.S. I'm a fan of the "Walking Dead" comics, too!

[Dropping Loads in a Cave]

Uh, this game mostly confused me. I dropped stuff and couldn't touch the top. That was it. This just seemed too nonsensical to be enjoyable. That's not how a game should be. I guess it was at least unique.

It's still hard to like for me. The graphics probably could have been better. I guess the colors were okay. It's just not rewarding. It made little sense.

TharosTheDragon responds:

This was made in just a few days for a game jam, if you weren't aware.

You drop stuff and can't touch the top, yes. But you also can't touch the bottom or any obstacles. You also try to collect bag bubbles. You also try to hit pedestrians for extra points.

[Wondrous Lands]

This was a good game, but it could have been better. One time I got stuck so I clicked the blue arrow at the top. It put me right back to the very beginning of the game! That was really annoying. I still liked the graphics. Boy, was this game complicated.

I was still able to get through some of it. I like the triumphant music. It's fun how the game plays itself. Granted, it isn't fun when you lose. It's still decent.

DLord2 responds:

I will investigate this issue. Thank you very much!
Update: we discussed the issue and looks like you mentioned spell book arrow. We fixed issue by adding confirmation popup on "save game and exit".

[Prelude/Chambered Flash]

I admit that this game was hard to navigate, but it was still pretty fun. I especially like how it really is something different. It still gets annoying. I loved gradually learning more. I didn't understand the broken walls at first. Seems kind of silly to have them.

It was maybe a bit too simple. There wasn't that much detail. Still, what it lacked in that it made up for in gameplay. It is a game where you want to keep on going. I like the idea of a prelude.

Zanzlanz responds:

Oh hey Ericho!
Thank you for the review! I'm really glad you liked the gameplay, and I definitely agree with the pros and cons you mentioned.
I mean, your review was really nice seeing how old the game is and how quickly I made it. Hope you're doing well!

[Tiny Golden Temple]

Hmm, you know that game certainly was difficult but to a certain extent, I actually enjoyed it. I enoyed how I was able to understand more of it as it went along. Of course it is very hard. I'm still glad I got that far. If only there were checkpoints. The music was nice.

I admit that the graphics aren't that good. It still creates a pretty interesting world for itself. There's a lot going on. I just wish I knew the safe spots. I can see why a lot of people wouldn't like this.

xhunterko responds:

Thanks for giving it a try. I'm glad you enjoyed some of it! Thanks for playing!

[Dragonfire: A Game of Pixels]

Hmmm, this wasn't bad, but it had a huge flaw. There was no sound! I tried to see if it was something wrong with my laptop and the sound worked everywhere else. It just seemed really lacking that way. I still thought the game wasn't bad. It was easy to follow.

I kept dying when I went to the ground. Was that really the end of the level? It was too short. The graphics are pretty good. It's just not recommendable.

snoboxstudio responds:

That is really odd Ericho, did you have you internet browser tab muted? We have sound for every aspect of the game :)
Also I think you should go back and read the instructions. There is a way to control your flight.

EDIT: We have heard from our programmer and it doesn't work as well in Internet Explorer browser, possibly that was the problem for the sound?

[Jacksepticeye Game 2]

I thought this was a Christmas game at first. I knew it would be too early. I thought this guy was an elf. Well, I just watched a Christmas cartoon. I appreciated the graphics. Unfortunately, I'm bad at this game.

I was able to get the first medal and even found the spare key. I couldn't use it though. The music was fairly good. It was at least a simple game. Then again, that might not be a good thing.

Rixium responds:

Damn. You have to select the key in your inventory to use it on the door. First time anyone has appreciated my art. Haha!

[Madness: Nevada Hotline]

It looked like Hank was flesh colored. How odd. The aerial shot could have maybe been better. This was still very fun. Happy Madness Day 2017! It's a pity that this wasn't submitted on the actual day.

The music was great. It was sometimes hard to use the weapons. I had trouble running and shooting. It has most of what you'd want from a Madness game. I was expecting this to have an actual hotline in it.

io3creations responds:

If I could've, I would've submitted it on Madness Day. ;)

I changed Hank's skin color for visibility reasons. Otherwise it'd be a bit harder to track him if he's the same color as the background since the characters are quite small.

[Heart Apart]

I didn't know how to split the hearts. I shot them but it didn't work. How many times do you have to do it? I guess you have to hit them right in the middle. That's lame. It's too difficult.

Oh, I'm being too whiny. I really liked the putting together part. That was way easier. It did have interesting gameplay that way. Still nothing I would recommend.

Coaly responds:

Haha, fair review. It's clunky. I wouldn't recommend it either x)
