Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

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.

[Slender Survival]

It was strange with how easy this was for me. Some people seem to complain how it's quite difficult. I guess I'm just really good at it. I got every single medal on my first try except for the secret one. I think the other one in the series was better, because it was just more challenging. Well, I have played a lot of games here.

I wonder if any other villians will get games like this? You know, like The Rake or Jeff the Killer? The graphics are fine, but it is just basically me going in one direction over and over. Again, I'm not complaining with the medals. You just need to be more creative.

Brunodev responds:

Yeah you are good at it haha! All you need is timing management. Thanks for your review Ericho, and congratulations on your score!

EDIT: The Rake...hm...interesting idea. Thanks =D

[Blind Man's Simon]

I can see how this made for blind people. Unfortunately, I didn't find much enjoy ment from it. It's mostly because there is no detail in it. I do hear some different voices, but that's about as far as I get. I was mostly pressing the same buttons and I kept getting the same answers. I don't know what's going on. You do have a pretty nice voice.

I tried typing "Blind Man's Simon", but nothing happened. I don't know how to get ahead. How would blind people come across this? It just doesn't make sense to me. It could have at least some visuals.

Kwing responds:

The game is fully arrow-controlled. The menu explains which buttons are used for which actions, and the game is really more of an arcade game (hence the name Simon) than something with a beginning middle and end.

As for how a blind person would find this, the lack of graphics is more of a gimmick than anything else. Although sighted people could hypothetically sit a blind person down to play this game.

[Mr Pig's Great Escape]

It looks like this time with the competition there isn't much of a theme. At least there isn't one that I understand. I think this is an okay game. What annoys me about it is how hard it gets when you get to the rising saw. I've tried everything and nothing works! It's weird how I was tricked into thinking it was easier at first.

I don't even know what happens when I touch that chicken. I think it's a pretty interesting world you've created. It starts out mundane, but then just has a giant saw. Then again, I guess you would have saws on a farm. Just not ones that float up and down.

PXLFLX responds:

Yea, no real theme but to make a complete game in the time provided. Try slowing down and jumping under the saw when it's up high, or wait until it's low and double jump (hit z twice) over it. I'll warn you thou, it gets a lot harder.

[Lahey Soundboard]

I am sad to say that I really have no idea what this character is from. I'm usually so good about soundboards. Anyway, it sure has been a long time since I've reviewed or even seen one. I think this is a well done soundboard. People who are fans of this guy should be able to associate. It's amazing how many things you can do with one word.

Of course, most curse words are like that, especially the f-word. I like this depiction of him. Did you draw that yourself? Yes, I do in fact still go to a certain website where I found out about this. It's fun to just listen to them all at once.

UsedCarMan responds:

He's Jim Lahey from The Trailer Park Boys, an amazing canadian TV show. Check it out, its great.

[The Orc Ring]

This was pretty weird as I thought it would be more complicated. I did in fact end up being part of a challenging game as I lost on the seventh try. Still, there's not much to be said about a game where you win six times in a row. Dang, that orc is a poor loser. Anyway, I appreciate the decent graphics. I guess I was just hoping for a game where you fought someone.

LOTR is a big enough franchise to have different kinds of games. It was interesting to have it go harder so quickly. Not much else to say, other than that it is fairly unique. I know there's some kind of magic trick where you always lose. Thankfully, that wasn't the case here.

Asvegren responds:

very old game, an experiment mostly i guess!

[The Ventures Fulp]

Well, this was a rather intersting submission. The thing I don't understand about this is how I have pretty bad control. Apart from how I can't stop moving in the same place, I just can't go anywhere at times. There were occasions where I couldn't even go into the next room. I'm not even sure if I was supposed to. I appreciate you paying tribute to this website.

It wasn't so much about Pico Day as it was about the site in general. Seeing as how he's the mascot, I guess it makes sense. I thought this would be a parody of "The Venture Bros". Dang, is that an awesome show. There could have been better designs, though.

deathink responds:

HAHA, well what makes it pico day related is it take place at the pico day party :)
sorry about the bugs, i was up till 3am trying to get it ready and then left for pico day at 5am so I didn't get to test it . it will be fixed soon.
