Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

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! %)

[Ghost Light Lost Levels 1]

Ah yes, I remember playing the first version of this game. I am fairly confused as to why it does not even have a "2" in the title. It mostly doesn't work much for me because it's so hard. I know that might sound whiney, but a lot of other people seem to be having problems with it too. At least the graphics are well done. From a distance, it looks like something made by Nitrome.

Yeah, I think they're better game makers. Anyway, it's still pretty cool to see these environments. I had no idea something that looked like the Grim Reaper would be so easy to kill. The music is fairly suiting. I don't know what the point is of the doors on the bottom.

Comacolors responds:

This isn't Part 2. It's basically bonus levels for people who wanted more of a challenge, and some pieces of Algernon's back story people expressed an interest in in the comments on Part 1.

Seems I've created an awful lot of confusion releasing this the way I did, I should have labeled it much more clearly. I hope this mistake on my part hasn't put you off trying Part 2 when I finish it.

Thank you for your input.

[The Snake Game]

At first, I was thinking my medals were not going to show up on screen. It turns out they really did, just at the end. Then, when I survived awhile in normal mode, they didn't show up again. Oh well, at least they acknowledge my achievements on screen. I was quite impressed by this game and thought it would be like a game of Snake at first. I guess I'm glad it wasn't.

Green and orange happen to be the favorite colors of my brother and I, respectively. How ironic the orange ones would be the most annoying. I don't even know if the orange snake ever goes offscreen. It's basically the same thing after awhile. It still manages to be fairly challenging.

Jindo responds:

Originally the medals did unlock as you progressed but I noticed (for me at least) that the game froze for a split second when each medal appeared, which could cause problems if you're in a hairy situation with regard to the number of snakes on screen, so I stuck with unlocking them at the end!

I'm glad you enjoyed the game, thanks for playing!

[Actiony Arcade]

I thought this was an okay game. It mostly didn't come off as that appealing because it was too easy. I thought the graphics were not that good either. Of course, I couldn't really help but think that might have been the point. It was probably just meant to be something quick and easy. I actually don't think it would be that hard to get the 100 point medal. I noticed that nijsse has the #1 spot.

It makes sense, seeing as how he has the most medals. I think this is the first time I've noticed him there, or her. You just press one button and keep it on. I don't see a health bar or anything. It could be more clear.

PhantomCat responds:

Comprehension would unhinge your mind

[PSS Girl]

Well, this is another really weird game. I guess my problem was that I didn't enjoy it as much as some other weird games. It was mostly because the artwork wasn't that impressive at all. The music even managed to get a bit annoying. I didn't care much for how it was hard to get combos. At least the likes were easy to get, at least for me.

I think you should follow the stuff on the Pico games. They had games like this too, but they were much better drawn and more fun. This just seems too repetitive. Maybe you could have made the girl hotter, lol. I don't understand the title either.

ooitoro responds:

Thanks for the comment & suggestion~

[Virtua Snake]

At first, I thought I could understand the controls because it was just a game of Snake. It turned out to be a lot more complicated than that. With that being said, I still thoroughly enjoyed this! I think my favorite part was probably how you could get a bulbous body and kill enemies with that. There were also a decent variety of enemies. The graphics weren't bad either.

The sound effects were also nice and they seemed to get you hyped up well. I appreciate you putting a spin on a classic game. At the same time, you didn't derail its original premise. It's weird to play a game where you can hit enemies and not get hurt. Even the "virtua' part is cool in the title.

Glad you like it!
