Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dot-Matrix Shooter 2]

I was pretty surprised at how good at this I managed to be. I think the main reason I liked it is because the medals were just worth so much! Yeah, that's shallow, but come on, lots of people are like that. I thought the graphics were really unique. I had no idea you could even jump until an enemy came from the side. It helps that everything is clear to understand.

I like the funny sound the tank makes whenever it hits something. It gives off a good sense of cartoonish behavior. It's nice to see contrasting styles like that. Even the backgrounds aren't bad, either. The clouds look like little platforms in the sky.

meinlogin responds:

Haha, thanks:). I also thought that words 'Brutal' and 'Difficult' are too strong for these achievements, but as I have only 6 of them in the game, had to split all the points:).

[Drake and The Wizards 2]

I found this to be a rather fun game. I didn't like it as much as the original, because this seemed like more or less a retreat of it. I still have to give you credit for having some really fun gameplay. It's so nice how everything looks so sweet in this. It's fun to just breath fire at enemies and jump on them. I didn't know why the larger enemies had an electric theme.

I was surprised at how long these levels were. For something that seemed childish, it was anything but simple. It was interesting to also experiment with different kinds of doors. I was an expert with finding the blue gems. It's so easy to get cocky.

lartar responds:

Hi Ericho, glad you play both games. Thank tou for your support the team are really glad for it. =) Hope the next version of the game like you much more.

[MOON]

I didn't think I was going to like this game, but it got better the more I played it. It's mostly because I'm fairly good at it. When there are that many secret medals, you know you're going to get one of them. That doesn't even mention how MOST of them here are secret medals. The graphics are quite decent. I like the idea of your future self coming towards you.

Man, my character is so dumb to not realize that at first! With all the blood and cracked helmet, he reallyd oes look monstrous. The graphics are decent too. I try to go to the right and I think I'm slowly making progress, but instead it's slowly pushing me back. It's a good game.

EventHorizon responds:

Thanks for your great review and I'm glad you liked the game :D

[Ghost Light Part 1]

I think this game at least deserves credit for having something out of the ordinary. I didn't understand what I needed to even do to advance. You didn't clear anything up in the author's comments. The "I" level I went to was just a place with some villians you could kill. I believe I killed them all and still nothing happened. It was just weird with how it went.

I do admire the graphics. The main character reminded me of Duskull from "Pokemon". It was still shown in a pretty clear cut manner. The music isn't bad either. This does look like a pretty big game, so I can understand why it was divided.

Comacolors responds:

Thank you for the compliments, I'm very concerned that the game didn't work for you though. When you killed all four enemies in the first stage did the door on the right side of the level remain closed?

[Xmasocalypse]

I really wasn't that much impressed by the graphics in this game. At least it was a game that was fairly easy to understand. I am so glad you didn't have to keep on hitting the same button over and over. I was a bit confused by that at first. I thought this would have something to do with the December 21st apocalypse. At least it was something related to an apocalypse.

The scenes on the menu are actually better designed. There could probably be some more variety in the enemies. It's still a pretty well done game. It does seem like this is the first game of its game where it's Santa doing the shooting. You could make his weapons more Christmas oriented.

Bandana-Crew responds:

Thank you for your comprehensive review! Glad you share it with us! Thank you and happy holidays! :)

[Christmas stocking]

I found this to be a rather entertaining game. What I didn't like about it was how difficult it was to get through the fifth level. I'm fairly certain I just needed to get ten in a row to advance. I had so many oppurtunites, but I wasn't able to get them all at once because of the angle. The whole thing just drove me nuts! This was still really good as a Christmas game.

The designs weren't that complex, but they did not have to be. Yeah, it can get irritating seeing the same objects over and over. The music was nicely Christmas-related and appropriate. It could probably use some more detail. At least I could get one medal with this.

Helgi3 responds:

Thanks Ericho!

yeah the keyword is CHRISTMAS))

i just had to do a game for christmas since I was intended to do that long ago.. and it has been 2-3 years that I skip doing an xmas game for different reasons..
this year I sad.. you should do that anyhow.. regardless of the limited time and etc..))
I did this one in 2 weeks. and had multiple nights spent awake)
it is also the first game that I've drawn all by myself.. usually I only do code\design.

Merry christmas and happy new year!!!! ))))

[Orbox C]

I found this game to be quite enjoyable. It's also great to get so involved in a game that you don't forget about the medals. I certainly had no idea they were there after awhile. It's so satisfying when you finally get the right combination. Level 8 is the one where I am seriously having some problems with. I just keep getting caught in the same trap over and over.

I even managed to get it 96% complete! The music was quite stylistic and fit the tone of the game. It's nice to see all these bright shiny colors. I liked how it wasn't just the same goal over and over. You didn't know what was going to pop up next.

GameBalance responds:

I'd say this for all the levels - the key is the logic. You keep get trapped in the "square". Not possible to move out of it. So the right thing to do is to collect all the stars outside of the "square" and only then go and get final stars inside the "trap square"

[Dracula's Treasure!]

I thought this was probably the best (of the two) games in this series that I have played. The main reason I didn't like it that much was because it was so hard. It didn't seem to make that much sense as a game from a villian's perspective. Usually, there's numerous villians, but I guess the other game wasn't much better. I do have to praise it for its good graphics. It actually was fairly creative.

I did enjoy how it was so easy to understand. If this is the only level, I wouldn't blame you. I also think the music is pretty stylish and fits the overall tone. It may not be Halloween time, but it's nice to see a vampire. It reminded me of "Pac-Man" with how you could go from one edge to another.

01010111 responds:

Thanks! I was really challenged by the theme this time! My first attempt was a Dracula Dating Sim, but when the dialog system I was making got to be ridiculous I switched to this.

[Chirstmas Word Search]

It was pretty nice for everything to be shown in a pretty clear cut manner. I do have the problems of how this just looks too cheap. I don't understand how the graphics come off as so bad. The intro cutscene was particularly painful. The actual gameplay isn't too bad. It was interesting how you had words that went from side to side. I found "SHED" in the first level.

Was that possibly a coincidence? I remember this music now, and it's nice music. I don't know what language everyone was speaking at first, or what that had to do with anything. Do you speak a foreign language? It needs better design and artwork.

Lenke responds:

I don't speak very well English, so I decided to make an animation in Spanish (my native language).
I'm not a good animator and my draws are not good... you know my games(you review almost all my games..xD!) I always make my games by my self... alone... <forever alone> (;_;) xD!

I just want to make an animation and I did it... xD!

the word puzzle is automatically created by a code I create:
first it put the words to find
And the empty spaces are filled with words from the A to the Z
so if you find a word like ***** or **** or *** or ***** or ***** or ******* or ***** xD!
is just coincidence, for that this game is for Teenagers (?)....

so sorry if you found an offensive word you can go to menu and replay the game if affect you or rate 0 and exit

xD!
