Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Madam Mim's Bet]

This game was so addictive! I know realize my computer must be a lot lower quality as I was able to play it so easily. I was unbeatable in arcade mode! The only reason I stopped was because I had to go to the bathroom. I didn't know how to pause it! The most amusing part is easily when you lose.

You really have no idea what you're in for there. I got 246,090, the highest score and a combo of 137, also the highest combo ever! I'm above thousands of people! My only question is how you get the medal for "bad boy". I'm the all time champion of this game! Again, it's probably because my laptop is slower.

PoliuxDimension responds:

I saw that, you are amazing, too bad I can't send you a physical medal for that, but people will see your ID on the board. If you could go that far, you must have reached the final stage of speed "max", I wasn't even showing that in my YouTube video, in that stage, if your computer is working in real time, every magic circle will only give you less than 0.4 second to react.

Here is react time compare to speed level:
LV1: 1 second
LV2: 0.75 second
LV3: 0.5 second
Max: 0.3 second

Scientific research show that average human being have the react time around 0.3 second, faster than that the game will be an unfair design. If the time you experience match the list above, then it means your computer is working in real time, or else its not, but anyway, you are amazing.

Bad boy medal involves trying to guess the secret code.

[ZS Dead Detective - Roving Eyes]

I was pretty impressed by this game. The opening was a bit too long. Well, that leads less gameplay for me I guess! Sorry, I'm not into point and click adventure games. This was still nice to look at. I'm glad we can celebrate zombies all year round.

The music is always nice. You always do have stylistic stuff. You do deserve your Daily Feature. As always, thank you for the easy medal. I assume I get the others by beating the game.

Muja responds:

Thank you a lot!

[Azurael's Circle: Chapter 1]

It's not often an Underdog Of The Week award is given the front page. Well, it's still not as bad as Turd Of The Week. It's a pretty weird term. This has fairly good mobility. At least it won one positive award. You should be proud of that.

The music is great. I'm not into point and click adventure games. This is still a nice looking game. Hey, this was on my birthday! What a great birthday I had!

TheEnkian responds:

I got the UotW award for another game a for years ago they were both front paged too. I like to think it's usually a positive rather than a negative, depends on the game.

[Faraday's Flaw]

I was fairly impressed by this game. It's mostly because it just looks so clean. Well, not the environment itself. Maybe the proper word is "clear". It was still great to take note of everything. It's an obvious "Back To The Future" shout out.

At least I got to another location. These just aren't my thing. I can still appreciate them where credit is due. That's always good. It's my birthday today too!

DeathTiger0 responds:

Happy birthday! :D

[Toodee and Topdee]

Wow, I was so impressed by this! It's probably one of the best games I've seen in awhile. The music was great. This really did feel like two different styles put together. It looks like this was a great combo. I have played games of both genres.

Of course I have, I've typed thousands of game reviews! You really did get the feel of two worlds colliding. It makes for a great game. I don't know if Topdee is an official name for the genre.

dietzribi responds:

Thanks! Toodee is supposed to be 2D and Topdee is... Top-down. Silly, I know.

[ZS Dead Detective - A curse in disguise]

I was quite impressed by this game. It's mostly because of how great it looks. I still think one of those zombies looks like Edward Cullen. I don't want to be reminded of him. The graphics look great. I'm glad the first medal wasn't that easy.

Well, you did mostly just have to click a few obvious things. It's just a great setup. It helps that we love zombies so much. The music's great too. Congrats on such a high score and Daily Feature!

Muja responds:

Thank you a lot for your nice review!

[Kristov Colin]

It's always great to play the highest ranked submission for a jam! I still admit it got hard to understand. I'm fairly certain I touched "B" to get the mast up. It takes awhile to get used to the location. I couldn't even find his boots. Did you mean the boots he was wearing?

That didn't work. The animation is very nice. It's very well organized. I can always appreciate that. Music's fine too.

CrounchyBrothers responds:

Thanks :)... The boots aren't the ones he is wearing, it's located in the basement of the boat all the way to the right.

[Luigi's One Punch]

I knew One Punch Man would appear in this eventually. For some reason, the medals didn't show up on screen. I know I earned them. The animation was so good here. My favorite part was how Rosalina and Daisy reacted to Luigi. He's attracted more women than Mario!

It was a short game, but it got its work done. At least it was easy to get medals! I'm such a sucker for those things. The music was fine. It's a pretty good little game.

PoliuxDimension responds:

Thank you, I actually decided to put medals and high score board few hours before the
original planned upload time, I found an article discussing about medal pop up coding, but it didn't work somehow, and it was too late for me to dig into that problem at that moment...

Another issue is that it seems NG have a limited number for the high score (the punch force can be really amazingly high), I will have to beware of this in the future game. Like change the unit etc...

If someone has experience at making the medal popup thing, I'm willing to learn it. Anyway, I will have to solve this issue in my future game sooner or later.

[Big Shot Boxing]

I didn't care for this because it was just the same stuff over and over again. You just kept on punching. I was annoyed at how long a boxing match took. It just wasn't fun. Well, other people seemed to like this. It just isn't for me.

My keyboard stopped working while I was playing it. I'm not going to try it again. I don't want to jinx it! I guess the music is fine. The animation is kind of good.

colburt187 responds:

Yeah it is definitely not for everyone, thanks for giving it at try anyway.
