Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[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!

[Wilderness Survive Escape]

I'm fairly certain I have played the second part. It's hard to keep track nowadays. I actually do enjoy this game, because it's easy to understand. I even managed to get somewhat far into it. It was interesting to look for all the hidden stuff. Two acorns doesn't seem to do it for the raccoon.

Isn't that more for squirrels? Then again, raccoons are omnivores. The music wasn't bad. I think the animation and graphics were actually pretty good. You get used to it.

selfdefiant responds:

Thanks, you are right. I try to do my research before making someone do something, like feed a raccoon. I would fell bad if someone thought it was ok to feed a raccoon acorns if it wasn't really something they might eat in the wild. That would be dangerous on my part. People learn a lot from games, I couldn't live with myself if I was teaching people to do things that are wrong.

[HYDRA]

Well, what can I say? On one hand, it was really hard. On the other, it was actually still quite fun. I had no idea it would just be that one level. I guess I should have paid more attention to the title. I was surprised at how fast I ran out of bombs.

They were pretty common for me to use after awhile. I do like the idea of fighting hydras. It reminds me of "Hercules". The music is fairly haunting. I'm amazed people can get scores of over 100!

OctoFlash responds:

yeah, those flash bombs are not for wasting! but with the right strategy you can manage to get really far... as we can see. some people are just crazy...
thanks for the review!

[Space Survival Escape 4]

At first, I thought I wouldn't be able to do anything with this, but I did understand it more as time went on. I was at least able to figure out how to advance a little. A pity the medals are too difficult. Eh, I'm way too whiny. The music's fairly good. Everything seems pretty organized.

I do not recall the other entries in the series. It was interesting to see both the Earth and Moon from where I was. It makes you wonder what that would look like. Other people like it at least. I've never been into point and click adventure games.

selfdefiant responds:

Thanks for the review!!

[Abandoned Ship Escape 5]

While I'm not good at these games, this wasn't too bad. You were courageous for submitting this on Clock Day! Then again, it has more views than the Clock cartoons I've seen. If you're a fan of point and click adventure games, I would recommend it. It actually does have an interesting twist on it.

I don't remember the other ones. I liked how it was continuing a story. I will say that the artwork could be better. It looks a bit too old. Thank you for the easy medal.

selfdefiant responds:

Thanks, the art is just my style. I've seen better but then again.. I like it. :)

[The Great Magicians Curse]

I couldn't help but think that this was based on the Mario games. It just with how it was with the mustached guys in a platformer. I think it's still great in its own right. It certainly helps to include a tutorial. I managed to love most of it. It's sad how only the red plumber can advance.

Just kidding, of course I don't care! The designs are pretty well done. At least I got the easiest medal! The sounds are quite good in this. You can really get down the tapping of the shoes.

TinSleeves responds:

They do both have pretty awesome moustaches that's for sure!

[Steam Rogue GB]

I feel rather bad that I'm not better at this game. I do think it could have been better as you couldn't quite the level or anything. Okay, I know learn you can just hit escape. It is, however, still pretty much impossible to beat the fifth level. I guess it's just not that fun in general.

It's nice to know the details are nice. It is a fairly unique game. It just seems like it's something that works better as a puzzle game. I like the gold color. Smarter people will like it more.

AdventureIslands responds:

For the 5th level, get down from the ledge, jump, then start moving in air to land on the platform instead of hitting the ceiling cog. The previous level explicitly told you can do this.

[Range of the Dead]

I ended up enjoyed playing this game. It was kind of weird how it was put out. I still have to give you credit for having awesome graphics! I especially love the way the camera zooms in and out. I managed to successfully download this program. I was amazed at how much the wind can have an effect on a bullet.

Well, I don't know that much about the science of shooting. In a zombie game, you can pretty much make anything up. The sounds were great too. I can see why it's frontpaged. Zombies are always good.

Evil-Dog responds:

oh it's certainly not real bullet physics :) just for the game

[Portal of the Dead]

I did not care that much for this game. I think the worst part was how the graphics weren't that good. There wasn't a lot of detail put into it. It seemed to be really hard for me to even shoot the enemies. Maybe there was a glitch I am unaware of. It didn't even have that much to do with robots.

You're too late for Robot Day. At least I could kill a couple of them. There's not much creativity in this. You at least tried to have something different, I suppose. The music isn't bad.

io3creations responds:

Robot Day is to celebrate NG robots. Since you are playing as P-bot, I'd say it has a lot to do Robot Day.
