Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Putt More Base]

It seems like it's been awhile since I've played a minature golf game. I didn't really understand how to play at first, because I tried to play it on the level it started me with. Then I went over to start the level which I thought I already started and then I got into a more simple surrounding. You have to remember that in this game, you can go far too fast and miss the hole completely. It's realistic like that. The music is pretty nice.

People more used to this kind of game should probably have a better time than I did. Just be sure not to over to underestimate the power you give your ball. I like how there's a lot of different locations to show where you are. I couldn't tell if the title was supposed to be some kind of pun. It's a nice little time waster.

The main menu can be confusing for some but most get pass it, its the game's way to let you play around without restrictions (unless you land under the buttons). cheers ;)

[Forget-Me-Not]

This would have been a perfect game if not for two things. 1. You need to make it so that you can start off from a certain level. 2. The pause button doesn't work. It does show the "Play" button onscreen, but you and enemies can still move. With that aside, this is a really cool game. I especially love how there's so many sweet colors just jumping around everywhere.

You have to be careful to not kill yourself. I love how there's so much going on and it all looks so great in color. I don't understand it half the time, you just need to keep on playing, I guess. It's the best game I've played all day. I appreciate all the wacky stuff that goes on and the obstacles you create for yourself or accidentally for enemies.

kurismakku responds:

that's interesting, for me pause perfectly works...

[Alien Thief]

I thought this was a pretty cool game. The notion of aliens stealing cattle has been done before, but I think this was kind of different for the genre. Again, at least I managed to get at least one medal, for the first level obviously. I think the graphics are pretty nicely done. It can get a bit frustrating when you have to drag those cows over such a long area. It is something you get used to after awhile.

Everything is presented in a pretty nice colorful manner. It's kind of a cutesy game I can see younger people liking. It's a good game, it just doesn't have anything that noteworthy. I appreciate all the little things going on, like the keys to get rid of the laser part. It's a pleasant game to play.

tinime responds:

Thanks for your comments. It's very helpful for us to improve the game .

[Temple Glider]

You guys are pumping out front page game after front page game! I don't know how many people are working on this, but the end result is great! I will say that I am kind of annoyed at how you are not able to go anywhere without flying. It makes just moving from the little blocks hard. I still have to give you credit for having truly awesome graphics as always. It's unbelievable the number of great ideas that can come from this.

I really liked the music in this too. It reminded me of those Crash Bandicoot levels that took place in Ancient Egypt or something. It's great how the colors are so flawless. Everything with the graphics just flows so well. I like how the main character is reborn as a mummy. If only I remembered how to shake the sand hand off.

Nitrome responds:

Actually theses are all just games from our back catalogue that we are finally releasing to the wild but I am pleased to hear you noticed they were all by us. We don't actually make a game every week :) ......though we do roughly twise a month. If you like our games you should check out our site where you can find all 100 plus of them! www.nitrome.com

[Deadswitch]

This is a pretty cool game, but there's just one thing wrong with it. I can't advance onto the next level! When I'm done with the training session, all I can do is click "Replay" or "Quit". "Replay" does the training again and "Quit" sends me back to the menu where my only options are two levels of training! At least the graphics and character designs are fairly nice. The music is also quite appropriate.

I'm amazed you were able to make these games in such a short time. Of course, not all the stuff you submit was made right after you made another one, I suppose. This reminds me of the "Lemmings" games. I've never actually played them myself, but I've seen tons of tributes to them. Congradulations on front page too.

WilkinGames responds:

Thanks, dude. Actually, when you finish a tutorial level, you can switch between the training levels. I remember Lemmings as well, awesome game! :-)

[Inspiration Dave]

I have played this before, but for some reason, I didn't review it. Anyway, I thought this was a fairly good game. What kind of weighs it down is high the graphics aren't that good. I do admire the fact that you made a game about inspiration. It seems like I've seen a lot of stuff about that lately. The sounds are pretty cute and it's a nice little premise overall with how adorable it is with the music notes.

I'm not sure if the medals are working properly. Anyway, it's a nice game for a short little run. I can always come back and try again. It's a pretty basic game, in that it follows the formula of most platformers, which are probably my favorite kind of game. It's an interesting little thing to take note of, pardon the pun.

Seagaia responds:

Thanks for playing and reviewing it. And for the pun :P

[DN8:Pulse]

I liked this a lot, if only because I'm so good at it. It's not one of those bullet hell things where it's just things being fired at you from all sides. That doesn't mean there isn't a fair amount of dodging in this game. I appreciate the graphics. You deserve your Daily Feature, if only because you made a pretty addictive game. I was afraid at first that I would die if I touched the pathways the ships come, but that didn't happen.

The enemies are designed very well. I like how there's a lot of things going on in this, but it's still fairly easy to understand. It's just good old fashioned games where you shoot everything up. The sounds are good and everything syncs up well. It's amazing how this website keeps pumping out great games.

Squize responds:

Thank you.

And you've totally nailed what we were going for, some times it's nice to just have a game where you don't have to think too much, just dumb simple fun.

[Pico Party Mayhem]

When I came across the fairly low score in this game, I thought it was going to be something cheesy. I was of course pleasantly surprised to find out it was anything but. I think the best thing about this is how the graphics look so nostalgic. You just seem to really reckon back to the older days of the website. This looks so much like the ones used in Tom Fulp's original "Pico's School" game. My favorite level is the Death Chase.

That's probably because it's the only one I could win and the only one where I didn't get dead at the end. I like how there are many great references to classic NG games. In the end, that's really what Pico Day is all about. The sound effects and music are nice too. I know it's kind of late (and too early for this game) but Happy Pico Day!

Spudzy responds:

You're an awesome reviewer :)
