Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Lincari]

Woah, this is one of the most complicated games I've ever played before. I find it unbelievable how you were able to come up with this in just five minutes. I can't say anything good or bad about it, because it's too complicated for me to play. It definitley seems like there are people who enjoy this. I appreciate all the work they do for this game. You are one complicated dude, buddy.

I actually thought the music was nice. I had no idea something that looked so simplistic could be like this! It didn't have a lot of detail or anything, but had pages of tutorial! I wish I had some idea what the title meant. You deserve credit for making something so big.

Kwing responds:

After 8.5 thousand reviews, I think the quality of them is beginning to dwindle a bit. You didn't seem to mention anything about the actual gameplay, nor did you even touch on the graphics.

At its core, Lincari is a hybrid between a card game and board game, because the positions of the cards change. As you make each move, an entire queue will shift over in order to help replace the card you played. That's really the only thing someone could not understand.

[Fall Ninja]

I was actually quite impressed by this game. While it could have had a wider variety of enemies, it was still well done. The best part about it was probably how it was easy to get a bunch of medals! Yes, I'm that kind of gamer. I actually did think that the graphics were pretty nicely done. Again, there just could have been more detail.

I find it hard to believe a building is that high. Then again, these are magic ninjas we're dealing with. The music was also nice and it fit the mood really well. My advice is that you should look for the hearts above all other things. I don't even really know what most of the other powerups do.

TocoStudios responds:

Thanks Ericho, I'm happy we got you impressed by Fall Ninja! I'm hoping that I'll be able to make a Fall Ninja 2 with even more enemies like you suggest!

[Hexagon Tribute]

Well, this is yet another game that should appeal to your fans. I guess the one thing I didn't like about it was how hard it was. I was a tad confused at first, thinking you could jump off the hexagon. You couldn't, but I guess that would have just made it harder. The music was really good in this. It's nice to hear such insane stuff.

The flashing colors fit the setting well too. It may not have a lot of detail, but it doesn't need to. Don't be fooled by its innocent looking appearance as it's hard. I really have probably never played a game like this before. I guess all I can suggest is to make it easier.

Zanzlanz responds:

Yes it's a hard game, but I definitely don't want it to be a play-once-and-win game. Plus Super Hexagon is probably 10 times harder than this...
But anyway, thanks for liking it :)

[Madness: Recommencement]

Well, now this is really weird. I was angry at this game at first, becuase I had no idea how to play it. There was some glitch or something in the system that made it so that I couldn't unpause something. I just went to another window and it automatically paused for me and I couldn't get it back to normal. I had to go back for the menu with no other option. When you do get into the actual game, it is quite fun.

It's great you've come up with a unique design for the characters. The music is also extremely appropriate. I like how you have so much mobility. The enemies with the guns are those you really have to look out for. This was a good submission for Madness Day 2012.

Tupo26 responds:

When the game loses focus, example you click another window, it will automatically pauses itself. To gain focus back you need to click the game anywhere then press unpause key.

I guess I have to add a message that tells the player that focus was lost.

Thanks for feedback. One of my goals was to make my own unique madness characters.

[Railroad Shunting 2]

Wow, dude, I have to give you credit for having a fairly complicated game. It's one of the longest tutorials I've ever played! It seems like I should get a medal for just being able to get through them. The sound effects and the graphics are in fact very nicely done. It just goes on so long I have little understanding if this game ever ends. If you thought playing with trains was simple, you've never played this!

It just kept giving me thing to thing after thing to do. I think there's some error on the medal label. The one that says "C-Zone" says "Complete B Levels" when there's already a medal for that. People who are a LOT more patient than me should have some fun with this. You guys really went out of your way to make this complicated.

gamezhero responds:

oops, medal's name is fixed

[Clock Button Masher]

I honestly don't know if I have ever worked so hard to get medals before. It was just the same thing over and over, but you could just never beat it! I even had no idea how I lasted as long as I did. I managed to get seven of the eight non secret medals on my first try. I guess I am just known for being a really good typist. It was just such an intense experience for me.

I doubt I will ever play this game again, because I would just go insane. At least it's kind of unique for itself. If you are good with button pressing as I am, you will love this. This felt like a real workout for my whole body! My finger is still tired!

B1KMusic responds:

Thanks for the feedback :)

I'm glad you liked it

[Second Wind]

Okay, that was really strange. I thought it would be more like a standard RPG, but it was anything but. I didn't even really understand where I was supposed to be going where this. It didn't show any land, just the enemies randomly appearing. Then again, I guess most RPGs are like that anyway. I appreciate you at least trying to put in original gameplay. If only I could understand it.

As always, thank you for so much for some easy medals. Seeing as how I'm so prolific, I usually don't get leave a game until getting at least one medal. I guess the graphics could be improved on. The sound was actually pretty decent. I was never able to get any gold at all.

squidly responds:

...

No gold at all?

[Shinobi Quest]

This is funny, because at first, I didn't know this WAS a game. I just immediately died and I didn't even know who I was. That being said, once I got the hang of this, it was a lot more enjoyable. I think its biggest strength is how good the animation is. You are really good at drawing brains. I also like how you get so many oppurtunities in this.

If you fail once, you can just try again. It may not have that much action, but it's all you need in a point and click adventure game. Incidentally, I'm not really a fan of those games. It's still very cool to go through the game like that. I didn't even know you could pick up more weapons.

mexipino responds:

Hahaha, yeah, I purposely just threw the player into the game... I figure, most casual players skip navigating through menus and automatically hit "Play," so, that's my reasoning regarding that. lol.

Thanks a lot man. Yeah, I've been animating for a GOOD while now lol.

Thanks for playing man!

[Submazeness]

I wasn't that interested in this game at first, but it actually turned out to be pretty cool! I think the best thing about it is how you can casually play the game. Two minutes are more than you think in a game like this. While there wasn't that much in terms of graphics, it was still nice to look at. I mostly just ignored those question marks after awhile. I didn't even care about the upgrades.

I appreciate you making something new and unique for this website. It kind of reminded me of the old Battleship games. Speaking of which, I have yet to see that movie. I had no idea you had to earn so many stars to advance. I guess I'm not as good at this as I thought.

eidern responds:

Thanks,
For the upgrades, I should strongly suggest to upgrade the Light module, it gets the light area around your sub bigger.

And for the stars, I guess I've make it a little to hard for casual players ;p

Thanks for the comments anyway :)

[Ride on the Road]

I'm going to admit that there seems to be little point in this game other than to earn medals. Of course, most games are like that anyway. I thought the dirt mound the car went around looked like a bagel. Hmmm, it's been awhile since I've seen a Mario YTP... Anyway, I was thinking this was going to be a real race track. I guess in order for that to go over fifty laps would be impossible.

The graphics are at least good and the controls are very easy. There really isn't anything particularly bad about this game either. There should probably be more detail and more going on. It really is harder than you think. I can tell why there's a medal for being there longer than 20 seconds.

ArgonIlya responds:

The biggest comment. Thank you so much =)
