Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[A Dragon Named Coal]

This was a great game! I admit that I wasn't too interested in it at first, but it certainly got better! I really appreciated the graphics. Are you the same guy who made that fox game? It certainly seems similar. The music was just perfect too.

I'm glad I could slowly figure out everything. I knew I'd have to fight those guys eventually. It really is an interesting story. My only complaint is that you fight with the mouse. You should have been able to do that with the keyboard.

CleverCrowGames responds:

First off thank you for thinking of us in relation to what sounds like another game you like. Actually this is our first major title, although some of us have worked on small indie / commercial games in the past.

Start of the game is a little rough, as this demo takes place a couple hours into the game. You can fight with keyboard via x, c, and arrow keys. Although we recommend a gamepad.

[Ame Fury]

I'm against this, if only because it requires other people. This game only has a few thousand views. I can't find anyone to play with me. I guess that isn't your fault. It's just that there could have been better planning with this. I guess the animation is pretty good.

I just literally couldn't play it. It did seem like an experiment for you. I like it when people try new things. This just didn't seem to work out. Why do I keep missing your submissions?

TharosTheDragon responds:

Yeah, it's not great, but there is a single-player mode.

It doesn't look like I'm on your favorites, so maybe that's why you're missing my submissions.

[Impossible Hardy]

Wow, I really didn't know it would be that hard. Even getting a coin is hard! I guess I should have paid more attention to the title. I do really appreciate how it's pretty unique. As you might have guessed, I'm no good at it. Then again, it seems like most people aren't.

The music is actually pretty good. I guess in a way, I am glad this game was made. It's always interesting to look at hard stuff! It was different than other hard games I have played. While I can't recommend it, it's certainly not bad.

keybol responds:

haha! I wanted to make something that really looks impossible, hence the level design made it evil.

[Draw-Play 3]

I was very impressed by this game! At first, it seemed like it would be too easy. It really does get more interesting and complicated as it goes on. I appreciate how there is always something different. I'm amazed at how much this game escalates into difficulty. It's just very well done.

The music is wonderful too. I'm glad you have a lot of mobility with your character. I thought it would be something where he'd just automatically go somewhere. I'm glad it was better than that!

EggysGames responds:

Thanks a lot :)

[Ender Story: Chapter 1]

I found this to be an okay game. I admit that I was turned off by how it was just the same enemies over and over again. I guess I am getting more used to RPGs. The music is fairly good. The game itself is quite easy to understand. It could use better design, though.

I really do have a lot of encounters with this game. I guess I was just thinking there should be a signal for them coming. Still, it's quite playable. You have a lot of space to explore. I liked that.

TheEnkian responds:

You can actually lower the encounter rate in the game by going to the options menu so they're not as common.

[Waddle Antarctic]

I admit that I don't see how this is that popular. It seems like there's no real action. There isn't much of a background. I guess it was a pretty easy way to get medals. Maybe that's why people like it? Penguins are pretty cool, though.

The penguin just seemed to stand there. There wasn't much actual movement. The music was alright. It was just nothing memorable. I can't get into it much.

JackAstral responds:

Fair enough, I totally get why not everyone would like something this...strange :b Thanks for giving it a go anyway!

[Ghostbusters B.I.P. #3]

Well, it's pretty easy to tell how you get the "secret" medals. This was a pretty good game, though. I'm not quite that familiar with the second movie's canon. It was nice how you fit it in. The sprite effects used were quite nice. I appreciate people who still use those.

Did you make all these sprites yourself? It even has good dialogue to do with it. It's easy to organize. It's nice to have a choose your own adventure game. It really does work more like a comic book.

Muja responds:

Thank you for all your compliments!
Yeah, I had to edit most of the sprites I used since there's really little pixelated ghostbusters material out there. I'm glad you liked the final result!!

[The Heroic Rooster]

While not great, I did enjoy this game. I love the comment about who put those seeds there. I do appreciate how inventive it is. I will say that the graphics could have been better. The sounds were quite nice. It was weird to see him turned into a chicken.

I thought he'd be normal most of the game! Chickens are simply funny. I like the colors too. It's great how Cyberdevil helped you! Don't worry, he'll certainly review this.

DIWAKAR responds:

THanx

[The Worlds Hardest Game 2]

I honestly think I've played harder. Well, that I Wanna Be The Flash Game comes to mind. I am quite impressed at how complicated it is. As the name suggests, it's quite unfair. It's mostly because you have to collect the coin(s) in every level. That really contributes to a lot of deaths.

The music is quite good. Okay, it is really hard. It just takes a lot time to beat each level. You have to count on so many things going right. It seems like this game fulfilled its purpose.

Snubby responds:

You should try WHG3 on addicting games, its even harder and the level design is much better. too bad i can't get it on NG. Thanks for the review.

[Go Go Plant 2]

Dang, this is one addictive game! I think the main thing about it is just how much is going on. You really have to keep up with everything! Then again, that is just story mode. The music and sounds are great too. I can always count on you to have new and unique games!

My biggest problem is forgetting how to punch. I kept thinking it was the space button. I guess I just have the memorize the level. That really is the best way to do it. It takes awhile to tunnel after pushing the button.

Wiesi responds:

Thanks for the review! :)
