Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Black & White Escape: House]

You could once again use sound in this. I guess there was more of a call for music. I was pretty confused as to how to get the combination for the briefcase. There was a box labeled "Blob". It was in fact related, but it was upside down! The combo was 8078, which is "Blob" upside down.

I was able to do the rest of it to get out of the room though. I kept thinking of the White House when looking at this title. It seems like every good thing is white. RIP Muhammad Ali. It was pretty easy after awhile.

selfdefiant responds:

Music is muted, you can always turn it on! :)

Thanks!

I guess I'm going to show bias by saying I didn't enjoy this because I wasn't good at it. Even looking at the walkthrough, I couldn't understand it. Level 5 is the one I can't get past. It just doesn't seem that interesting to really care about. I guess the layout is nice. The music isn't bad.

It just did little for me. I need more straightforward gameplay. Well, maybe this was too straightforward. It just had little variety. It wasn't rewarding.

whileworking responds:

Cannot really agree on the variety point. But it's ok, it just isn't your kinda game.

[POOPER DELUXE]

Dang it! I was at a score of 9916! If I had just been able to touch that bird, I would have gotten that medal! At least it was easy for most of the game. I shouldn't have looked at the highest ranked medal. Well, there's a secret one anyway.

It did get annoying with how it was just poop over and over. It was still pretty playable. The first part was really easy. I can't believe the high scores people have gotten! The graphics aren't bad. It is a bit slow, though.

rhys510 responds:

Ah better luck next time :)

try playing it with friends to get the full experience. There is a pause button "SPACEBAR" that might have helped, anyway thanks for the comment! :D

[Purbalds]

This was a great game! I guess it's just because I found it so unique. I am glad I managed to get the hang of it after awhile. There are always new things going on. The music fits the funky style. It's just a pleasant game.

There's just a lot of niceness in this. I had no idea there would be multiple purple people. I guess I should have read the author comments. Shouldn't it be author'S comments? Great nonetheless.

whileworking responds:

Didn't want to explain the whole game in the description xD - Happy you like Purbalds!

[Mouse basher]

I am sorry, but I could not get into this. It was just me clicking the same stuff over and over again. At least the sound was nice. You should have more variety in a game like this. I don't know how I lost points. You should just have more stuff going on.

Everything just seemed way too simple. I wish the medals showed up in the game. Is that some error here? Yeah, I do want to bash you. It's just not in the way you think.

Wooooooooooooooooooo responds:

I believe u still got the medal as its on your wall that was my main goal, and every .8 seconds you score will go down by whatever level number you are. As for the pop up I got all of them on my screen check ur browser settings

[Deterministic Dungeon]

I like how it's unpredictable! There aren't that many different things, so you can time them. I imagine it changes its speed. I wouldn't want to cheat, but I'll still do that. The music is nice and serene. The graphics are really good.

The character designs are so funny. It's nice to have such random game. You really know how to show variety. It got repetitive, but it's still lots of fun. It's been awhile since I've played something from BoMToons.

PestoForce responds:

Nice, always love your reviews!

[Cathode Raybits 2]

Wow, this is seriously one of the hardest games I have played in my entire life. The most annoying thing was how the enemies respawned. They just kept knocking me back into more enemies. I had to kill these same guys over and over again. It's not like it was easy to kill him. Even a high powered charge didn't finish most of them off.

I'd think with respawning enemies they'd at least be taken down in one hit. I have no idea how to beat the first boss. Nothing I try damages him. I don't even think he has a health bar! For those of those who are masters, only you should try this out.

SinclairStrange responds:

I don't think it's any harder than the later classic Mega Man games. (Mega Man 4 onwards.) Some enemies don't re-spawn and I'm not sure in the next patch to take out the respawning enemies although that'd defeat it taking homage to Mega Man.

I'm going to hazard a guess that you've not really played old NES games (or classic Mega Man for that fact) They're well known for being rather difficult which for me (and many others) is the appeal of them although I know it's not to everyone's liking.

I'm going to guess you're on the Electro Bot's mid boss, you aim for it's eyes. :)

[Super Jelly Blaster]

This wasn't one of my favorite games because it was quite hard. It escalated way too quickly. There just wasn’t enough time to understand what was going on. I guess it just might be my computer. I thought you’d have a score or something. It’s just determined by how many levels you complete.

You could have at least just doubled it on the second level. The music was alright. It didn’t seem too well detailed. Yeah, I know it’s part of this dare, but it isn’t my thing. At least it was unique.

adcrusher524 responds:

Thanks for taking the time to play!
I agree, I've gotten a lot of feedback about the difficulty. I think the people I tested it on while developing got too good, and I made it difficult for them instead of someone who hasn't played it. There definitely needs to be a better ramp into those tough levels, or just easier levels in general.
As for the music, I'll take that as a compliment! :D Music isn't really my thing, so my goal was to make it not terrible. Gotta keep practicing :)
Again, thanks for playing!
