Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Soupedia 2]

I couldn't understand most of this, until I read the directions. It was weird because you kind of told us how to get the secret medals. Granted, they were all that way, but it was still kind of strange. It wasn't too easy of course, with a lot of hidden stuff. I didn't know MikeyS9607 was part of the Soup Squad. I think this may be the first submission from you guys that I've reviewed.

You would be surprised at how many of these organizations there are. The music was fine. I felt I at least learned some more about the users on this website. The medals will hopefully give it more views. I never played the first one.

SoupSquad responds:

First one has medals, too.

And no, I'm not surprised. There have been a lot of organizations. Most of them are dead. So far, it's only three crowns: Clocks, Locks, and Soups.

[Super Fight Ballers]

I think this was a pretty nice game. The only things that I did not understand about it was how you could pick up your powerups. I was not able to pick up a single one. I guess there must have been something that I was missing or couldn't grasp. I still managed to defeat the final boss and win the final medal. It's fairly creative for what it is.

I think the music is quite stylized and creates a good atmosphere. It's a pretty goofy one at that. The graphics could have probably been a bit better. I appreciate the original concept. It's more fun than it looks.

ilovedemongirls responds:

Thank you for the review! I'll tell Maxero you like his music :P
P.S. - When standing/sitting/whatever balls do in front of an item, press down to pick it up!

[Simudroids]

I admit that I didn't really like this game much. It just didn't come off as too rewarding as it was quite difficult. I don't mean to complain, that's just how I looked at it. I will say that the graphics are decent. This is in fact a pretty creative game. It's just that it takes too long for you to get a powerup.

The music was fairly decent and made a good beat. It helps that the game is fairly easy to understand. I wish I could say the same for the actual gameplay. I like how you do have a nice amount of space to move around. If you're good at these kinds of games, check this out!

DereliktGames responds:

Thanks, man! Honestly, power-up used to be closer to each other when I first started making the game, like every 2 enemy spawns, I found myself waiting for the next enemy to appear often, I thought it could be boring. So, by making power-ups take a bit longer to appear, there'll be (hopefully) none.
I really appreciate your detailed review, it was of much help.

[Iromeku]

I was interested in how hard this was. I thought it was unbeatable, but I at least managed to get one medal, showing it could be beaten. You have to have certain colors overlap with each other. It's not just that, you need to have the color patches themselves overlap in just the right place. Who knew something with colors could be so complicated? I appreicate you making something different.

If only more people would warn me of how hard a game was. I'm an experienced gamer, dang it! I think the graphics are really well designed. It's fun to just see those letters fly around each time you win a level. It's hard, but fun.

Thanks

[Geologem]

I personally did not care that much for this. I guess it's mostly because I'm not that good at it. It doesn't work out when a game doesn't come off as particularly rewarding. There were definitley some shiny things going on, but not that much original material. The graphics could have been a bit better. I was able to complete the tutorial, but didn't get a medal.

The sounds are decent. It really is a puzzling game that's a challenge. If you are patient, you should be able to get pretty far. I just don't think it adds up to that much. The graphics aren't terrible, just need improvement.

Pinchanzee responds:

Sounds like it's just not your type of game, which is fair enough - although constructive criticism would've been nicer. Thanks for your time anyway :)

[Pumpkin Simulator 2003]

It's game like this that make you so glad you have creativity in yourself. You could basically just do anything you wanted. This reminds me of another game I played that was a lot more recent. I didn't like how the future game wasn't realistic. It was interesting to get a good experience like this. Most people know what it's like to carve pumpkins.

I myself have gone pretty good in that category. Of course, if you look at some of the images floating around on the Internet of carved pumpkins, it's not much. This is really a very accurate depiction. A pity this game became less popular as time went on. The sounds are nice too.

rotpad responds:

thanks, i appreciate it

[Ski Free or Die Hard!]

Wow, I thought this was actually going to be some space game at first. I guess I should have looked at the title better. I was kind of weirded out at how strange everything in this turned out to be. It's funny because I heard that new "Die Hard" movie was terrible at least in comparison to the other installments. It was weird how it looked like you turned into a spaceship when you jumped.

I mean, I have to give it credit for being unique. I certainly had no idea what was going on. I wasn't even sure if I was pressing the jump button right because I kept dying for strange reasons. I wish it snowed here in Florida. It's just kind of too weird to really enjoy.

DBuck-Eye responds:

Maybe my next game will be a space game so that Floridians can enjoy it with the rest of us! Thanks for the idea!

[Territory War 3]

This was a very strange game for me to play. I can't complain that it was too hard, because it really wasn't. I was not able to find anywhere where the instructions were. Even on the menu, there wasn't anything. I still have to appreciate all the hard work put into this, especially when it has so many talented NGers working on it. I managed to at least get one medal.

I was in fact a fan of the other games in this series. I just wish that the instructions were easier to see. On the plus side, it was nice to be able to die so quickly. I just jumped off of everything. The opening cutscene is a bit too long too.

Afro-Ninja responds:

The controls for this game are the same as the other games- when you start a match the popup dialogs should let you know how to move your character. when you open the weapons menu each time it will tell you how to use each weapon. Also the opening cutscene has a skip button. Thanks for giving it a shot though!

[Band Of Heroes]

Dude, this is one of the most awesome games I have ever played in my entire life! I simply can not put the mouse and keyboard down to play something else! I think the strongest thing here was how good the graphics were. Everything was just wonderfully laid out so perfectly. There were an endless number of upgrades and other crazy stuff going on. Dang, did it get longer the more it went on.

I have been playing this thing for TWO HOURS STRAIGHT. I simply can't stop getting more upgrades and fighting more enemies! The music is fantastic as well, not to mention the story isn't that bad. I may in fact be more addicted to this game than any other game I've played here. I love the variety of people you can choose from and their unique weapons. Make this the #1 submission of all time!

IriySoft responds:

Thanks! %)
