Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Super Adventure Pals]

I thought this was a fantastic game and one of the best I've ever played! I have absolutely no idea how this didn't win a single award! I freaking loved how fluid the animation looked. I think the way the character's speech bubbles are shown is probably the most creative I have ever seen in my entire life! You normally don't even think of those as being well detailed. I love the wide variety of enemies.

I also loved how a bunch of stuff just exploded whenever you touched it. It was great to live in this wonderful, colorful world. It was somewhat of an RPG with how you interacted with the other characters. Of course, I always preferred platformers over RPGs anyway. It was great to have such great mobility and it even worked well as a sort of puzzle game! This is a masterpiece!

JayArmstrongGames responds:

Wow! Thank you so so much :)

[Thundernut]

Wow, and I thought the game I played before this was weird. I still liked this game, mostly because of how easy it was to get some medals. I truly had no idea what was going on. I'm assuming I could win some way, but I think I died. I could have sworn that I saw the medals somewhere else (at least their designs). If you're a prolific reviewer, you should probably check this out.

It's certainly original enough to like. I thought maybe this was a sendup of the Kid Icarus games. The ones where he becomes an eggplant or something? I think it was mostly a game about falling from the Heavens somewhere. At least I got something out of it.

VictorGrunn responds:

Hey, thanks. Yeah, there's really not much to it - if you can rack up over 10k, you've done "the best you can really do" at this point. But it was fun to make and I learned a few things, especially since it was a 24h project for me and my artist.

[Tris]

I was really quite impressed by this game. While it didn't have a lot going on, at least it managed to be pretty cool by having all these great lights and effects. I had no idea that I could myself control the speed of my ship. It was really about how far you were willing to go with it. It's great to see what different places you go to. You can never become prideful with this stuff.

It's just nice to see that stuff being blurred past the screen. The music is also fairly funky. It's just cool to be able to go past everything so quickly in such flashy lights. It's great when a game works well in its simplicity. This should have a much higher rating.

krangGAMES responds:

Cheers dude, the main emotion of this game is to feel like it's a crazy techno experience, glad to hear that you felt that way. Sort of like sensory overload.

[Somby Brain]

I really liked this, probably because I managed to get so far. I think I got like three of the five medals on my first try! I was admittedly expecting something with more detail, but this is still really good. The way the heads and stuff are animated is very well done. It's just great to see all these crazy looking guys. It's one of the most fun games of these kinds I've played in awhile.

Granted, I haven't played that many at all, really. It certainly motivates you to continue playing. At first, I thought it was the same design, but that would of course been too easy. You should make platformer game with these guys. It seems like you could really expand yourself. It's still great for what it is.

Satyre responds:

Thanks for the rating and the suggestions :)

[Morax and Murmur]

It's funny, because at first I thought it was just supposed to be me defending my castle or whatever that is. I am soo glad there were other people (or rabbit things or whatever) to help me along the way. You didn't make it that clear in the tutorial. It's still a great game and it is easy to figure out when you see the "Q" sign on board. There's some kind of glitch where I die and can't move on.

It's weird because I can still send troops. I don't know how far they are to attacking the enemy, unfortunately. There were just a lot of cool things going on here. The sounds are also nice and I like how the Moon is evil. Watch out, Princess Luna!

Asvegren responds:

I'm glad you seemed to like it! If you die in-game, a red cross icon will be unlocked (hotkey: 2). This costs 40 resource units and will revive Morax.

[Moonlight]

I really liked this game, probably because I just found it to be so unique. It's a short game in itself and it doesn't really take a lot of thought. I am still very impressed at people who manage to get far in this game. I assume it's mostly luck. The graphics were freaking gorgeous in this and so were the sounds. I just loved the little pitter patter of the light stuff bouncing off the fish.

It may not have much detail, but it doesn't need to have it. It's just a nice, simple game that is wonderfully designed. Everything about its design was fantastic. My only complaint is that it did get a tad boring at times. Of course, with practice, everything becomes easier!

Almakos responds:

Thank you for the review.
You described exactly what I was trying to achieve with it =)

P.S. I have no idea myself how one can score those millions, that seemed impossible to me...

[Donjon Bomber III]

I thought this was a very cool game, mostly because of how nice the colors were. It's just cool to see all these interesting things going on. What I didn't like was how it was too difficult! I am sooo glad that the enemy couldn't lay out any bombs, at least not at first. It was also nice how you could lay numerous bombs at once. It's sad when you're so much better at destroying yourself than your enemy.

I was also surprised to find such a wide variety of players to choose from. Their designs were all unique and although it didn't make sense, it was still great to look at. It's amazing how complicated this game can be. Well, I guess it's not really that complicated, just very hard. You are quite popular in score with this!

kor6k responds:

Thanks for the feedback! You should try "explose'em all"; it's the new version of this game I made and iI think it is better ;-)

[Go Avatar]

I thought this was actually a good game, just not one of my favorites. At least I have to give you credit for having such a highly rated flash! This is in the freaking Top Ten! For whatever reason it's popular, it's certainly creative. It seems like you really did a lot of work to put all these different designs. I couldn't help but think some of these designs were inspired by Naruto.

I guess you can come through any design with the randomizer. That's easily the most fun part of the entire game. The music was fairly nice too. It seems like only one person being listed under credits & info is becoming more and more rare nowadays. Congradulations on your success!

rhys510 responds:

This isnt as popular as you think - i only make these games to entertain people and to have fun in the process, this was just a side project whilst i was working on a bigger game but for some reason this game got abit more views than expected :)

- Thanks for the comment :P

[StickMan Sam 10]

I actually found this to be fairly enjoyable. What I didn't like about it was how there was just little sense of difference in a level. I would have liked more detail in this game. I still have to appreciate the cool graphics, because it's pretty funny to see all those versions of that guy just fly around everywhere. I am glad you didn't have to collect all those things in the same level. I didn't care much for the cutscenes.

I think the music was also pretty stylistic. I like how it had this good futuristic theme to it. Hey, it's the year 2012, we should be arriving at that future pretty soon! You really had to do some good timing with the jumps. I don't even know what happens if I don't collect everything, but I'm going to try to do that!

io3creations responds:

Thanks for the feedback. :)

I'm glad you liked the music :)

Collecting the coins is optional. It is there for people looking for extra challenge and medals (hint, hint) :D
