Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Drugged Driver]

I guess I thought this was going to be more colorful since it was inspired by drugs. Anyway, this was at least an okay game. I didn't really understand what the biggest point of it was. Of course, most games are like that anyway. I think the graphics could have used some improvement. At least it had a pretty funny title. I have no idea how to get a single medal.

Again, most games are like that anyway, or at least the ones with medals. Seeing as how it was based on drugs, I would have liked to see some flying monsters or something. At least there's some color. I appreciate the sounds, at least they were not terrible. I don't know how similar it is to real life.

UPTX responds:

Flying Monsters aren't part of the average drug experience to the extend of my memory.

[Niwit Slide]

Everything seemed to really work out well for this game. My only complaint is that when you switched characters, it just didn't seem to make sense when you couldn't use your main ability while clicking the space button. I still have to appreciate this for being inventive. It really is a fairly unique game. Snowboarding is a really cool sport. It makes me wish I didn't live in Florida.

It's also fun to listen to the wide variety of music you have. I'm surprised a game that isn't all that complicated turned out to have so many good songs. It's always nice when you can tell a lot of effort was put into making a game. At least you gave us some nice tips in the author comments. It is weird to have a winter game in July.

OONi responds:

Thanks! We live in South America so it's winter here. Does that count?

[Lab Lights]

Wow, I really enjoyed this game, even though I'm very bad at it. I wasn't even able to get past the second level! What I did like about this game was that it really did have some unique gameplay that I was proud of. The graphics were simple enough. It's funny, because it quickly gets hard. There's just a huge number of ways you can hook these things together, but you have limited wire.

It might not that have been that well detailed, but I appreciated the unique layout. I guess people with more patience should enjoy this more. I like the music too. It's fairly calm, silly music and it fits the game well. I also like how there's so much going on.

Zanzlanz responds:

Thanks Ericho!
I appreciate your optimism in something you didn't get to play much xD
In level 2, I tried putting batteries in places that were very close to a winning place, so if you try again, you might just get it ;)
Well if you ever come back to play again, I wish you luck :D

[Tux Cat]

I personally did not care for this. What I didn't like about it was how the graphics weren't good. The medals don't even seem to be working either. At least it got a little fun when I managed to go out and kill some zombies. I just don't even understand why a cat was chosen of all things. This doesn't seem to take place in a world where cats live anyway.

I guess it's fairly unrelated to itself anyway. I wish the zombies weren't that hard to kill. I will say it was kind of neat to do a story on current events. You just need to improve on lines and stuff a lot. The cat isn't even that cute!

Emby responds:

Medals work, there are no pop ups.

The zombie is easy when you know his attack pattern.

Sorry you didn't appreciate it. However... real review = justification.

[SoloMultiplayerRobotGame]

I really did not care that much for this. I think its main fault was that the controls did not work out too well. They were easy to understand, although it did get a tad obnoxious when you had to get used to all sorts of new stuff. What I didn't like is that it seems you have so little control over your characters. They just seem to run too much. The graphics are also not that good.

I still think this was cool because it was a fairly original idea. I liked the music too. I wish I knew how to recommend stuff for a collection, because this should go in Robot Day 2012. It may not be popular, but it has medals! For guys like me, that's all that matters really.

Frixolydian responds:

Thanks a lot, man :). If I make a new game or a sequel, I'll be sure to follow your recomendations.

[Boy Band Tycoon]

This was a rather weird game, because I didn't even really understand how to play it. I mostly just kept pressing stuff and I got ahead, so I guess I didn't really care. The best part was probably how it was at least easy to move along. In fact, it might have even been a bit too easy. That's hard to say, because mostly these kinds of games come off as too hard to me. I think you also need some more details with the graphics.

At least the music's pretty good. The clearcut manner in which everything is pretty cool too. I appreciate all the stuff going on, even if it isn't that well detailed. I'm not that big a fan of simulation games, but for people who are, they should enjoy this. It is fairly unique.

GimmeSumJava responds:

Thanks, I like how long your review was!

[Aevarrian Coliseum 2]

This was truly a cool game! I think the best part about it is probably how well you can move around. I thought that I skipped the original cutscene, but it turned out to be even longer than I thought. It's not often you see much of a story in a fighting game. Come to think of it, you really don't see a lot of fighting games on this website. The graphics were nice and slick too.

My only complaint is that the controls are a bit hard to understand. The music is also pretty cool. I loved how everything moved so fluidly in this. It's just a game that seemed to really want to set out and be unique. I'm surprised it isn't more popular.

josh-tamugaia responds:

I was surprised too. But not anymore. Anyways, thanks a lot.

[Dress Up Tomato Soup]

This was a fairly weak game. Everything just wasn't that detailed at all. I wish there could have been a wider selection of thing to choose from, but it does make me wonder what you'd even have for stuff regarding tomato. For the record, I found the secret and it was actually pretty cool with the points I got. The graphics aren't terrible, I guess. The music was alright.

I guess you can't really do much with a tomato or tomato soup. At least it was something that was fairly original. There isn't much else to say because not much else goes on in this game. This game seems more like something that would be an Easter egg in itself. I guess the bowl is supposed to be full of tomato soup.

TastyPotion responds:

I didn't really want to make a dress up game. More like a parody.

[Leaks]

At first, I thought this was going to be like a Javanoid game. I was a tad disappointed to find out that it really wasn't. It still managed to be a really cool game, mostly because it was just so much fun and it was quite original. I've never played a game where I had to stop the ball from actually hitting the top of the screen. I appreciate you trying to be innovative with your work. The music is also pretty cool.

It's fun with how it goes from one screen to the same one. The only downside of this is not being able to move fast enough, but I never have that problem anyway. At least I managed to get a couple medals. Blue is one of my favorite colors, so I liked the blue color tint. I like the dead (or alive?) fish too.

unlimitary responds:

Thanks. Fish is alive lol, none was hurt during this game development :D

[Cards Wars: TBS]

I thought this was a pretty good game because it seemed to pace itself well. I had no idea that just by rearranging cards could make the other cards get cut up. It's weird how that works out. I was doing so well in this game I was rather devastasted when I started losing it. The music is fairly decent and sets itself up. The graphics, however, could be better.

It also has a pretty funny name now that you mention it. At least everything's presented in a pretty nice clearcut manner. I'm just not a fan of card games in general, especially ones that are in flash form. People who are fans of those kinds of games would enjoy it more. The music is fine, too.

GeneralVimes responds:

Thank you very much for the review! :)
