Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sky Quest]

This really is a great game. I think the best part is how well it flows. I got a medal even though I didn't get to any high level. I still like this, well I would in that I got a medal. It reminds me of some other games you guys have made. The sounds are good too.

There really are some unique enemies in this. It's nice to see their different formations. It's still pretty hard to avoid their attacks. At least I know how to hit them. There's no medal for not skipping the opening cutscenes.

BerzerkStudio responds:

Thanks for the feedback! :)

[Famous Painting Parodies6]

I admit that it really is getting harder. It's probably because the paintings are getting more and more obscure. I think I still do a pretty good job. It's nice to see who gets the medals. I do admit the series is getting a little tiring. I guess it's just because there have been so many of them.

I still like this. The music is really good. I'm glad you did all of these yourself, right? You could have just flooded the art portal with them, but put them all here. You seem organized like that.

Munguia responds:

Thanks Ericho, yes all was made by my self, music, drawings, puns and program, besides i really enjoy to study art from the past, theres a lot of information,

[Arise]

Well, this is one hell of a frustrating game. I honestly couldn't advance much at all. I managed to get the jumping 100 times medal. It's not showing up. I have to praise you for having an original idea. I think the bird still looks dead some times.

I don't know if that's intentional. You REALLY have to train with this game. Even jumping over is almost impossible for me. I don't like it enough to keep on trying. Well, it's certainly challenging!

Mantis1 responds:

I'm sorry that the medal didn't register on NG, but if you refresh the game, the unlock notice will be re-sent and you'll probably end up unlocking it.

Yes, it was intentional that the game was a little hard. But I thought that was necessary because otherwise, winning wouldn't feel good. I feel that easy flash games frustrate me more than hard ones.

[Alaska Survival Escape 4]

Well, here we go again. Honestly, I'm not getting into these games that much. It does seem like it's just the same thing of looking around finding stuff. It doesn't help that the graphics don't seem that good. The music was probably the best part. The furthest I got was getting my tent up.

I am glad other people seem to like it. I have just never been into point and click adventure games. I'm sure you're a wonderful person, but you don't really make stuff for me. That is alright. You could improve on stuff like visuals.

selfdefiant responds:

Well when you develop on your own like I do you tend to play the role of many people. I do the best I can and improve as much as possible. I really don't mind if you and a few others don't like the games I make. There are far too many people who do like my work, I say thank you to them. I also must ask, what keeps drawing you into playing my games if you dislike them so?

[Rogue Soul 2]

You do deserve credit for making something so stylized. There really is a lot to this game! Granted, I can't really get that far, but it's still good. My last death was when I couldn't cross the hole. I thought the parachute just went on until you were on the ground. That's where that one achievement seemed to take place.

It reminds me of Thing-Thing. I know you're not the guy who made that, though. It was fun to just go around and jump on these people. There are pretty fine details in everything too. The sounds and music seemed to work fine, but I don't think my medal's showing up.

SoulGame responds:

Many thanks for the nice review. We're working on fixing medals, but having some troubles with it!

[Alaska Survival Escape 3]

I'm a bit sad to say this didn't really capture me. You don't get a medal for not skipping the opening scenes, BTW. It's another game that isn't rewarding. I still acknowledge that people like it. It doesn't even seem that well detailed. The graphics look a tad shoddy.

It's not horrible. It's just not for me. The music is actually quite good. It was a bit hard for me to understand it at first. At least you won Daily Feature.

selfdefiant responds:

Thanks anyway, it did get daily feature. Also I think why is because I try to stick with what I do best and many people like it. I do throw some curve balls in every now and then to change things up. The art is my own and I'm happy with it. I admire other artists and dislike others but hey, that's ok. We don't have to like everything, a lot of people do, that's what matters. :)

[Spring Ninja 2]

I'm surprised that this is not more popular. I liked it a lot! I recall the original game. I think this is an improvement as it was more creative. It also helps that the graphics are really good. I guess this really is more of what ninjas do.

Then again, there aren't many of them around anymore. Stupid Somalian pirates! The music was great too. I liked how I didn't have to touch the flag to get ahead. I just had to go past it.

Dizimz responds:

Thank you for your thoughtful review :)
I personally think this is an improvement as well, but on the otherhand I had to ramp down the difficulty considerably due to demands.

I never understood voting dynamics on NG. The reviews can be quite positive and yet still have a less than mediocre overall score. But that doesnt matter, as long as people out there enjoy it, Im happy

[Twin Cube]

It's not a bad game, but there's a problem with it. It clearly says that I scored 600 points and I get no medal. I guess it was a pretty challenging game. You'd be surprised at how often you forget everything. I do appreciate how it's pretty original. I guess it could just be more creative.

Of course, making it more detailed would probably make it harder. The music's pretty good too. I thought the medals would be for beating a level. I guess it's all just one level, not that that makes it any easier. The colors are pretty nice.

SinclairStrange responds:

Yeah, I mean I think I might explore with this idea, it was made quickly in under 12 hours just to take sort of a break from my actual projects I've got going :).

Also just to say, you did unlock a medal, it just doesn't pop up on the screen as I felt it would be a distraction to players :).

[Ghostbusters B.I.P. #2]

The drawings (or sprites, I guess) in this were great, but it wasn't that good. It seemed like a point and click adventure. It just didn't seem worth it. At least you know how to get some of those secret medals. It is fun to see what will happen next. I don't know what that clown sprite is from.

Oh, the video game's canon? You know your stuff. I'm not that big of a Ghostbusters fan, but I like them. It is a pretty creative story. I just wouldn't recommend it personally.

Muja responds:

It's okay, I'm glad you could still find some good in it.
All I can say is I'll try my best with the third and final chapter, hoping you'll like it more!
Thank you for your review!
