Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Armor Games Pinball]

I found this to be a pretty enjoyable game. You guys have made so many games it only makes sense you would make some games with your name on it. I think the graphics could have been better. I think there should have just been more going on. The music came off as a tad strange. I like how you have to last a certain time in order to advance to the next stage.

I'm pretty sure that's how it works at least. It looks like you were looking for a medieval theme here. I guess it makes as much sense as anything else. I recognize the text. I've never played a game that had controls like Z and /.

josh-tamugaia responds:

Haha this was so long ago!!

[INVAZIA]

I must say, this was a lot more entertaining than I thought it was going to be. I thought it wouldn't be much fun at all, because I couldn't get far in it. It took me awhile to get used to the controls. I think this is one of the best games created for an NG game. My only problem was how you had to press "E" to pick something up. There was a nice variety of enemies.

Happy fourth of July! I guess that doesn't mean anything now, but whatever. I think the music was quite stylistic. I'm not even sure how I know what my score is. Overall, this was very good once you get used to it.

Guy-Unger responds:

Ah, thank you so much! Yea you're not the only one with that problem but I can't really think of a good alternative.

[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.

[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!
