Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Santa Run 3]

I admit that this game seemed too difficult. You had to find the way out of every level. I do like how it was creative like that. I can still appreciate how it I be creative. I recall the other games. It seems like they were better.

I appreciate the nice music. I didn't like it how you had the same timer. I don't even know if you could beat the game like that. I guess you just have to remember every part. The graphics are quite nice.

whileworking responds:

Thanks and yes, the game is hard... but doable. You will need some runs to find the right ways and shortcuts, that is part of the game! ;)

[Shape Mania]

I really couldn't understand how to even play this. I basically just tried using the mouse and nothing happened. I guess I'm supposed to actually touch the screen. That still didn't do anything for me. I still managed to win a medal anyway! It must be some mistake.

It just seemed too complicated. I wanted more of a basic game. Maybe it's just from a genre that isn't for me. The sounds were nice. It was just too hard to understand.

wombay responds:

Could you try dragging your mouse (with left mouse button pressed) over the gamefield during gameplay? If there is nothing showing, you can still contact us via [e-mail] .
Thank you for your feedback!

[Bullet Heaven 2]

Wow... I am so glad to have played this game. I have literally been playing this game for over TWO HOURS. It is just THAT ADDICTIVE. I can't believe I caught this when it first got into the portal! I just freaking love the graphics. It's the only game of yours I've played that I've actually completely beaten.

It's weird, because the shield cheat is really the only one you need. I just used that and nothing else and it made a difference of over a million points! I am so glad to have finally seen the final boss. I'm even more glad to see these great characters back. It's been more than a year since your last game. It still seems longer.

I just love all casual everything is. It was also awesome how you had the number of things you killed. That does make you feel guilty, as Natalie suggests. The music was fantastic as well. You are simply a fantastic creator and I am so glad to have used my longest ever review on this website for you!

matt-likes-swords responds:

Thanks!

[Fleeing the Complex]

Wow, you certainly had a lot of songs for this. It's a pity that I didn't notice most of them. I did love this game. I am glad to see this series again. I'm so happy there isn't just one way to win. You obviously have no idea what will happen next.

The animation was nice and slick. It's great that this series is still around. I do think it should have consistent titles. It really is a fairly pleasant game. It never got bloody or anything.

PuffballsUnited responds:

Yeah this is the first time I've made a lot of songs for a game.

[Kill Billfoot]

This game ended up being a lot more fun than I thought it would be. It's mostly because I managed to beat it. I really couldn't understand what was going on with the boss at first. The sounds were really nice. I thought it was too easy at some points. The boss made it all the better.

It certainly took awhile to beat him. I loved how you had a lot of mobility. You couldn't really move, jump and throw your spear at the same time. He must have a lot of those. I don't think I saw Bigfoot in this.

HenrikSahlin responds:

Well I'm really pleased with the bossfight as well! I appriciate that you liked it. :)

[Silent Asylum]

Wow, this was seriously one of the most aggravating games I've ever come across. Every single thing had to be done in the most specific way. I didn't even see my medal onscreen when I got the crystal! It was impossible for me to do this without the walkthrough. What can I say? You know how to make your players work.

You haven't anything nearly this massive. No wonder it's on the front page so long. The designs are really nice. While frustrating, I praise you for making something so massive. The music was great too.

selfdefiant responds:

Thanks! It wasn't my intention to make it to tedious or aggravating. :)

[Crazy Shark Ball 2]

Yes, this is better than the previous game! I guess I was just more motivated with the medals and all. I basically just had to keep pressing the same buttons over and over. I then realized there was a time limit. I did worse after finding that out! At least I got to Level 9.

I just loved how colorful everything was. There was a crapload of cool stuff going on. I loved all the brightness and sheer insanity of it. I'm so glad you're still here. I guess you won't make more sim dating games, huh?

Wiesi responds:

I will probably make a new Franks Adventure early next year! Thanks for reviewing!

[In The Dark Place]

Well, I ended up playing until I got a medal. I really am glad that's all over. I'm sorry, but this game didn't do much for me. It just seemed like there weren't a lot of powerups or anything. The animation wasn't that good. The designs looked too bland.

I really couldn't even understand how high I could jump. The lumberjacks were so hard to kill. It was at least an experience. The music wasn't bad. This just didn't put me in the Halloween mood.

pro100fartovuy responds:

I knew it all. Will be try much harder next time.
f*** I write it very often...T_T

[NG: Zero Hour Demo]

Dang it! I feel so bad that the audio isn't working for some reason! I know there has to be some kind, because there are so many songs listed. I was at least able to play the main game. This was pretty impressive. The pixels were really nice. I wish I could say the same for the Adam Sandler movie.

Pico has a lot of mobility. It does get a little repetitive. It's still nice to see all these elements together. I thought this would have medals as it was featured on the main page. It's still worth looking at.

TwinBlazar responds:

Thank you for your review!

> I feel so bad that the audio isn't working for some reason!
Can you PM me and tell me what OS and browser are you using?

> I thought this would have medals as it was featured on the main page.
We are looking at the possibility of adding medals to the game.

[Kissy Square]

Well, I guess I can't really recommend this game. It isn't technically good...or bad for that matter. I still appreciated it for what it was. You really did try to make something original with this. I got at least somewhat far. The music was great.

It's nice to have a game that's so easy to understand. Then again, it's still pretty difficult. I can enjoy a good challenge. The music does seem familiar. I've probably played so many games I've heard it there or somewhere else.

NeithR responds:

Thank you very much for the feedback! :)
I am sorry if it was too difficulty, but now I have reduced it using bigger squares which keep shrinking based on the score :)

I am sure the music is familiar, since myself ever heard it too but I forgot which game. Also, I found the music in OpenGameArt site :).
