Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Happy Birthday To You]

Well, this game was fairly poorly designed, but there was no way I could hate it. It was when of the simplest games I could play that had medals. Yes, that is shallow, but it's not terrible at least. I thought the music used was decent and I appreciated you wishing someone a happy birthday. Again, it could use a lot of work with the graphics. Of course, it probably wasn't meant to be anything that good.

You should make it so that your goals are not layed out so easily. You should have a bunch of harder stuff to do like fight enemies or something. The single blue block guy wasn't much of a colorful touch, either. At least this is a harmless game. Just try to work on more detail next time.

no problem man. was rushing to do it before the end of a person's birthday ya see. may make a more indepth one soon.

[Hoop60]

This game wasn't that well detailed, but I honestly didn't think it was that bad. Hey, this is from a guy who wasn't able to win a single medal on this. What I like is how it seems like most of the time you just automatically have the ball go in the hoop when it should. Basketball games should be like that. That being said, I still think this should have had a lot better graphics. At least it's not annoying.

You could have also put some music in it. The sounds that were there were actually pretty good. I guess it helps that I like shooting hoops in my spare time. It's becoming more of a habit lately. I'm glad I'm a guy who actually enjoyed this.

NoLanLabs responds:

I'm glad you enjoyed it too. i'm kind of a casual bball player from time to time myself, so that's kind of what I was going for. Music would have been great, but I just ran out of time - this was for a contest that ends today. but thanks for the review! you're awesome.

[Tokyo Guinea Pop]

As expected, here's another great game from Jimp. It was funny, because it really didn't look that appealing at first. It was weird how you couldn't skip the opening cutscene. Then again, I guess most video games are probably like that nowadays. I appreciate your talent and creativity in this. It truly is the first game I've played where you had to protect animals by covering them in bubble gum.

It was nonsensical, but tons of fun. I wasn't expecting the flashier parts like the portals. It's also probably the first game I've played where you played a snake that threw mice around to help animals. It's truly bizarre, but it's so well done with the graphics and controls, it really works. I didn't even know you made games like this.

Jimp responds:

Thanks a lot for the review! you can actually skip the intro sequence by clicking :)

[Lonely No More]

Wow, that was one weird game. I think the craziest thing about it was that I couldn't even tell what part of the screen I was supposed to not fall into. The blackness of the background looked exactly like the floors in the game themselves! That did make it pretty interesting. The use of buttons was an interesting bonus. It really is the fifth level (well, you fall through the fourth one) where you meet your girlfriend.

I thought there were just going to be another five levels after that, but it was a lot longer. It's amazing how challenging this game can be when there isn't much detail. It's a nice little game. I really like the music too. There isn't much going on, but it was good enough to like.

Thank you for your detailed response.

[Electropede]

This is one of the most awesome games I've ever played here! I think the main reason why it's so great is because there's just so much going on. There's no such thing as a dull moment in this insane world. I have played some "Centipede" games before, but this is easily the best. Heck, it's probably even the best of its kind ever made, including the arcade ones. The colors and effects are freaking fantastic!

The most annoying thing is the red spider that randomly shows up. I've shot that thing like twenty times and nothing ever happens to him. I don't even think that thing CAN be killed. It's weird how the centipedes put these little things everywhere and I'm not even sure what they are. I think they're either eggs or machines or something. Thank you for this fantastic game!

Vibe13 responds:

you can't kill the laser-creeps (the spider things): I thought about making them killable, but in the end I decided it made a better balanced game like this 'cuz even when you've got loads of firepower you still gotta be careful.

those weird things the centipedes leave behind are bio-titanium fungizoids....just for the record.

[Scylla Starfighter]

Well, I can see why this doesn't have ratings that are that high. The graphics in this were freaking gorgeous! I think the main reason some people didn't like it is that it's kind of too big. It just seems like you go around and do nothing before the main action begins. I will say that it's satisfying when the ships get blown up and fall down to the buildings. The sounds are decent too.

I think the game itself seems to lag a bit. It's still fun the whole way through. My mom came in and saw me playing this and said it was one of the more cooler games she saw me play here. Everything is done in a pretty clear manner too. It must have taken forever to make this thing!

Josepho responds:

Thanks for the feedback :)

[Human Apocalypse]

I guess the main reason I didn't like this that much was because it was so freaking hard! I still have to give you credit for having a very original idea. Perspective flips are always cool. The best part about this was probably how you had such good mobility. Dang, I didn't know us humans could multiply so fast. The graphics weren't bad, but they came off as a bit too silly.

Of course, that may have been the point. It was pretty funny to see everyone walking around when they all looked like pancakes. The music was pretty decent. Dang, does this game get hard fast! For those of you who have faster reflexes, you might wanna check this out!

Zanzlanz responds:

Haha it was my first 'shooting' game so I wasn't sure exactly how to make the difficulty.
I didn't want to make the game play too long and boring, so I made it quick and challenging. I see all of these fps games where everyone dies so quickly, haha!

Yeah the graphics weren't meant to be serious. I designed them initially to be a completely different game, based off of complete randomness. That sure changed xD But you're probably right. After the change in design should have came a change in graphics.

Thanks for your review :)

[Drone Assault]

I was pretty freaking amazed at how cool this game was! I was quite disappointed when I couldn't get a higher score every time I started a new game. This is still great even though the graphics aren't that good. You certainly know how to motivate a person to complete something. The sounds were really good too. I loved how there were all sorts of different enemies to shoot at.

It was a fairly original game overall. It sounded like balloons popping whenever you hit your target. There's a nice variety of colors being used too. Oh, I thought the medals were for every new level you got to. You have to watch these rascally aircrafts!

VictorGrunn responds:

Wow, thanks. I'm glad you liked the game. Yeah, this was the first time I ever attempted to do any art for a game - I need to get much better there.

Feedback appreciated, I'll use this to make better stuff!
