Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

[Asylum 2018]

Well, I enjoyed it. Granted, that's really only because I was able to get an easy medal. It was finding the map. First, it said I couldn't collect any orbs. I collected one. THEN it said I couldn't collect any.

I'll never understand that. I liked the graphics. Well, whatever they're called here. There was definitely good atmosphere. The music was nice too.

selfdefiant responds:

Thanks

[Planaris]

I was quite impressed at how hard this game got. Well, it was just one screen. At least you gave us a lot of freedom. I appreciate the style. The music is very good. It's like Tetris.

The main difference is that you don't have them go over each other. Did I word that right? Dang, the medals were hard. I'll just play this once and be done with it. It does a lot for a simple looking game.

BryceSummer responds:

Thanks so much for the feedback!

[Songbird Symphony v0.2]

Well, I have some bad news. With the Unity player, my browser just can't handle it. Well, I can still play some of it. I got as far as the first singing blue bird. I know I'm pressing down on S but it doesn't show up. At least I had sort of an adventure.

The graphics are nice. I thought this would be a game where all you did was sync up the stuff on screen. I'm glad there was more. You have pretty good mobility here. You can expect that from a bird.

Joysteak responds:

Hi Ericho! Ah, I know it's slow on Unity player. We are trying hard to optimise the game so it'll be less laggy for our players. Still, I'm glad that you enjoyed it!

[Knotty story]

That game was incredible! I had no idea I'd have so much fun with it. It was a pain when the crow came. Here's how you beat it. You meow at it (by pressing S) and then have the crow go through all the green bushes. They all have to be colored.

I got knocked off and I can't get back up! It's really annoying! I was also annoyed by going on the clotheslines. I think the clothespins coming off was what screwed me up. I do love cats. I love the artwork, music, and everything.

CrounchyBrothers responds:

Heeey thanks! :)
Seems like you really had a good time playing "Knots Story".
You are right, the most difficult part to most of the players are the clothespins and to find out how to beat the crow. We'll maybe add some feedbacks that'll help in the future ;)
