Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Jet Gunner Mini]

Well, I managed to get through the first boss/level and I got no medal. Well, maybe it will show up later. I really do like this game. It plays a lot like a standard platformer. You still manage to be really cool in your own right. It seems that something that would appear on a Game Boy.

Again, that's not an insult. Damn, that was a long time ago. The music is nice and lets you know what's going on. The name is pretty cool too. Shooting stuff in platformers is often nice.

SinclairStrange responds:

Just to say, you did get the medal, I just don't enable the pop-ups as they often get in the way of the action. :). Yeah, it's just a standard platformer, but I wasn't really trying anything special with this one, just something quick and easy :) Glad ye enjoyed it! :)

[Blob Thing's Epic Escape]

While the design was pretty shoddy, this honestly wasn't terrible. I think the best part was probably how you had a clear view of everything. When I beat the level, it just said "You". Then I tried it again and died and it said "You Were". I have no clue what's going on. I don't think it's as bad as voters make it out to be.

I guess you maybe have to collect all the purple things or something. The title wasn't that creative. At least it was one screen. You actually could move around a lot here. It's still not good.

samahstan responds:

It just saying you or you were is because you don't have the proper font installed. I used Chiller. I don't remember installing it on my Windows 7 PC so I thought it was a standard one.

[CaGe - Casual Genocide]

I was surprised at how addictive this game was! It is just the same thing over and over, but it's fun! I think it was too fast for my computer. It was certainly well paced. I couldn't tell if the faces were based on anything. I think I saw Justin Bieber and/or Mao Zedong in there.

Mao is the kind of genocide. A lot of people forget that. The music is quite nice too. It took awhile for the medals to appear. It's still a wonderful game.

SadCatStudio responds:

Thank you Ericho! :D
About JB and the rest - not wanting my ass to get sued so I you know the drill - I won't confirm and I won't decline hehe :)

[MURDER]

That was a really weird game. I wasn't even quite sure how I was supposed to win. Well, I guess what I mean is that I don't know how to get a medal. I mean, I guess the game was supposed to be experimental. I think I got ahead a bit? I tried clicking on it, but it kept redirecting me to some other website.

I guess the music was quite good. I could just not understand this game. It is kind of unique. The animation isn't too bad. I'd like it more if it made more sense to me.

molkman responds:

Ah damn. Well, the game is supposed to be about distrust. :>

[Green it. 3]

I thought this really was a good game. It was probably because I got some easy medals with it. If only I had submitted by score that one time! The music was really good too. It kept you in a good mood. The design was simple, but still hard.

My favorite powerup was the magnet. It was nice how all you really had to do was avoid the red balls for awhile. It was quite easy to understand too. It did make you nervous with the control. I think that could have been better.

JackAstral responds:

Thanks! I'll add an option to submit your highest score from the main menu asap!

[Planets Gone Rogue!]

This is one of the most massive games I've ever played! It's hard to even describe it! I think the best way would simply be to say it's hard t et the big picture. You certainly did create a big picture with this. I like the notion of using entire planets as weapons. It reminds me of Tengen Toppa Gureen Lagann.

It especially reminds me with the Moon thing. The sound effects are quite good. I found it to be a unique game. It was still really hard and took a long time to play. I wouldn't quite recommend it.

OMBG responds:

Thanks for playing and the good rating! It honors me that you think this way about my game. I just don't understand why you say you wouldn't recommend it since your review seems quite positive for me? Or was that a typo? Either way, thanks again for playing and for the feedback!

[Samantha Wins]

Wow, here's another really weird game. I guess I just expect that on Halloween. I couldn't quite get the point. Well, at least it was unique. I looked liked some kind of alien. I understand how I didn't even recognize myself.

The sounds are quite well done. I'm glad I at least got the medal of losing. It was a bit hard to understand all the controls at first. I like the cat. I had a good Halloween.

SilverStitch responds:

You shouldn't recognise yourself, you don't have an identity unless you find and create one for yourself. None-the-less, I am glad that you gave the game a fair shot and that you had a good Halloween! :)

[Ghost Light Complete]

Wow, this is one complicated game. I really was amazed at how massive it was. There were just tons of things going on in this. I at least managed to get past the first part of the first level. Was I supposed to get a medal for that? You certainly made a game appropriate for Halloween.

It was just hard for me to follow! There were so many little details here and there. The music was fantastic, though! I'm glad to have come by this. Happy Halloween, dude!

Comacolors responds:

Thank you kindly for the feedback, I'm really glad you enjoyed what you played.

Sorry the game is laid out is such an awkward way, I couldn't think of any other way to put all the parts together while making it easy for people to skip the parts they'd already played.

I definitely made some mistakes with this one, I'll do my best to make my future games a lot less obtuse.

Thanks again for the review, and I hope you had an awesome Halloween :)

[Smash From Beyond]

Well, this is certainly a challenging game. It's a pity that there is so much stuff to review that I don't have time to win a medal. I was amazed at how fast paced this was. The highest I ever got was 22. It was great to have a good old fashioned Halloween game here! The designs were certainly nice.

I was expecting more of an interactive experience. I'm just not that good at this game. I find you just have to briefly inspect them all. A pity it takes awhile to even do that. It's times like these that I wish there was a medal for not skipping the cutscene.

Evil-Dog responds:

lol a short game for a short fun uh?

[Idle Evolution]

I'm sorry to say that I did not understand this. I tried to get into it, but I couldn't figure it out. I just clicked around stuff, but nothing really happened. It didn't seem like there was much action. I got to the first level at least! Was this supposed to be a defense game?

I love how you mention both God and evolution. It at least has an elaborate design. It seems too complicated. Well, other people seem to enjoy it. Daily 5th Place ain't that bad.

NewProject responds:

What is an idle game? I know the 1st time it's hard to understand the concept. You don't have to kill or solve anything, only produce and increase to produce more.
