Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Motorjoust]

It's hard to recommend a game you have such little comprehension of. I really should have known that this was part of another NG game jam. I didn't understand why there wasn't any sound in it when I played it. I was thinking it was some mistake as there was sound in the cutscenes. It's hard to look for medals when you don't know what any of them are. The graphics weren't terrible, I guess.

I was just looking for something easier to understand. I didn't know how to jump or anything. I imagine you just have to go into the other lane. It's pretty unique, I suppose. I'm not much a fan of the original game.

WingDemon responds:

Well, to answer some of your questions bro, there was music. I guess it didn't work for you for some reason, try checking your flash version and sound settings. The medals are all for doing normal parts of the game so you earn them just by playing the game, we didn't want to force people into certain circumstances (like making them use the editor just to earn a medal) so we made them hidden. And the graphics were an homage to classic NES games like Excitebike and Megaman and stuff.

anyway thanks for trying it out, glad you thought it was unique.

[Collinks Remix]

Dude, it's been forever since you've submitted something. You are one of my favorite artists here and this just goes to show why that is! I love how the colors are so bright and everything. I remember the original version of this game from literally years ago. It's great to see you back in business. Even if you don't do full time, you at least made something great.

There should be sequels to your most popular games, as this was one itself. I think the sound effects are just great. It seemed vaguely Mario esque. I appreciate all the hard work and effort put into this. Remixes in general aren't that popular.

wvaldez responds:

Wow, I didn't know I still had fans since like you said I haven't submitted in years. I've been wanting to get back into development. I appreciate the review. I will probably start off making new games rather than doing sequels. I made this one an exception because I wanted to get my feet wet with Flash again.

[Armada Assault 1]

I have played many space shooting games, but this was so awesome I had to check it out. I think the main reason it's so awesome is because of how simple it is. You are on this interesting area and background where you blow up enemies over and over. I also like how you have so many lives. Some of the sounds are goofy, but fine. I'm speaking of when the boss fires at you.

The controls are really easy to understand. You get an interesting variety of enemies that are coming after you. I don't even know if you can kill those metal UFOs. I swear I didn't get more than 5 points at once from those coins. I thought they were energy blasts you were supposed to avoid at first!

josh-tamugaia responds:

This game was when I was still quite green as a game developer. But I'm glad you like it.

[Flixel-Tutorial #1]

I'm not going to go through all the work of downloading, but this is nice for what it looks like. It's nice to see everything presented in such an understandable manner. I have myself never gotten into this sort of thing. I had no idea Flixel worked like this. I had seen it being featured in some contests, but didn't know much of it. I hope it isn't to games what Go Animate is to cartoons.

It's nice how this has such a pleasant atmosphere to it. I don't know why it showed up on my latest of games when it wasn't made by someone I favorited. The music is really good too. It's always nice to give power to the people. That's authentic of you.

Schulles responds:

Thanks a lot for the great review! :)

[Pests]

Wow, this is a game that really frustrates me. It seems like it should be easier to play. I don't want to become addicted to a game I'm not even good at, or one I don't care for at all. You do deserve credit for having some pretty creative designs. I don't know if turning the enemies into white pellets helps with anything. There are just an infinite number of ones that come. I could basically just keep destroying in the same place and never advance!

I think I actuall did worse when I found out you could kill the enemies. The destruction was a bit distracting. I think it has a petty nice design to it. The sounds worked well and fit the mood. Is this really a game where some medals have zero points?

Floriaen responds:

Wow thank you!

The medals are not validated because I couldn't test them:
because I am bad with my own game I never unlock them :p
I will fix that.

[Moon Waltz]

This was a really cool game, even though it made no sense. I think it's a very original concept and it's executed quite well. It took me awhile to realize this was a one button kind of game. The graphics are quite good. I don't know why this guy travels to the Moon to be with the pink cat. Makes as much sense as anything else.

The medals aren't secret, but you still have to figure them out. I like the image of this guy turning into a werewolf while holding his cigar. He just acts so crazy and goes back so easily. Don't know how you can arrest a werewolf. This was weird and very good.

molkman responds:

We don't like secret medals because of how they feel, so we figured we make the medals public, but still be secret in the way that the descriptions are only hints and not instructions.

[Rumble Ball field 4]

This was a very fun game! My only complaint is that I don't like it how you have to be so close to the ball when you release your mouse. Other than that, it had most of what you would want in a game like this. It's nice to see what you can do on your own. The vivid colors really help too. I even like the way the ball glistens when you hit the side of something.

You just never know what the next level can be. Everything just comes off as so bright in this game. It can be complicated, but not more than it needs to be. I like this games because you're allowed to play them at your own pace. It's the kind of thing you can work on when you're not in a hurry.

GameBalance responds:

Thanks! This game is very old it's from 2005. This concept could be developed someday.

[Infiltrating the Airship]

I just noticed everything is gray for some reason, must be something new. I appreciate all the work put into all the different endings. I was afraid this thing was never going to stop! In fact, it does and I'm glad there's always something new going on. I thought I would just have to go through two or three options at first. There have to be dozens of combinations!

I managed to get a medal worth fifty points! It also helps that the graphics are as good as ever. I don't even remember this being so fun. The voice work is fantastic as well. It's great to have so many songs too.

PuffballsUnited responds:

I tend to run into the problem of making things colorful for interiors, especially metallic ones. I'm glad you liked it!

[POOPER]

I thought this was in fact a decent game. I was thinking that it was just going to be one where you pooped at the beginning and had to go all out before time ran out. I still think it's pretty disgusting to be talking about poop, or rather, showing it. It is a fairly unique game. It reminds me of "Walk In The Woods" by Weebl. I wasn't even paying attention to points at first and noticed how low they were in comparison to other games.

It is hard to get so many points. Dang, that food really does go right through you. I have no clue if certain kinds of food give you more power than others. At least there wasn't that much of a depiction of it. The all capitals really emphasize it too.

rhys510 responds:

Thanks! :P

[Cult Classic]

I was able to pick out every single character in this. This means that I still have those three medals that aren't about that. I wish I could understand it. I can recognize this as something from poxpower, or at least based on something from him. I was just amazed at the sheer number of characters here. It didn't seem to be based on any theme, like the Christmas one.

If you could make a collage like this showing off hot female characters, that might be the greatest submission here! It must have taken months just to make this. I liked how it was easy, except of course for the last three medals. It has tons of medals, but not as much as "Achievement Unlocked". It seems like these aren't really cult classics, just popular things. It works for me!

deathink responds:

collage of hot females... I smell gold.
