Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[King of Buttons 2]

It's always interesting to see what kind of things will be in the next buttons game. I've grown attached to these kinds of games over time. It helps that there are a lot of different ways to play. Normally, a simplistic design would hurt it, but it works just fine here. You also have a great selection of music. I like how you can change buttons.

That doesn't really affect the gameplay, but it's cool to look at. I never knew touching buttons could bring about so many results! You know how to create variants of the same thing. While you're not one of my favorite artists, you're still good. It's nice to be customizable.

[Attack Of The Robots]

I thought this did have some pretty good ideas, but there was one major thing against it. The graphics weren't that good at all. It's because you just fought the same enemies and the lines and shadings were pretty bad. It's a pity, because there really are some good ideas being presented here. The best is probably how you get to count down the number of hits it takes to kill a robot. I didn't need to take the tutorial.

It's pretty easy to understand. I just think there should be more detail, like maybe have the player go into different places instead of just the same area for the same level. It gets a little montonous. It's still presented in a nice and clear cut manner. The upgrades are good too.

[Christmas Castle Defense]

I thought I was supposed to click on those guys at first. I realize you have to lift them up. It's been awhile since I've played a defense game like that. I think there could have been more detail in the enemies. They're a bit too bland. This is still a very nice game and well worth checking out. It really is a pretty unique idea.

I would think a Christmas defense game would have you protecting the North Pole. I'm glad you did something different. You managed to get over 1000K views for your hard work! I thought the sounds were really cool. I just like how these guys scream.

[Dead Paradise 2]

This turned out to be a pretty fun game. I think the best thing about it is how there's so much going on. I just had a good sense of being able to advance with this. It was certainly a mistake to not know how the controls went at first. This is a nice vehicular combat game. I think the music suits it really well.

It adds a mysterious tone to it. The graphics are nice as well. I'm surprised at how one new car can change everything. I didn't have to deal with that massive army tank when I changed cars. It seems so long when it gets harder.

[Merry ChriSMASH!]

I remember how they changed the Armor Games logo for Christmas time. Or rather, winter time. Yeah, no need to be politically correct here. The biggest flaw in this was how the drawings were not that good. I was quite surprised to find out this game got a lot harder. I thought it was too easy at first.

While not great, it works for what it is. It's nice to have a standard quiz game like this. You even made three answers to choose from instead of the standard four. I don't know what the pig has to do with anything. The colors are done fairly well.

[Blob Bob - Lost Levels]

I found this to be good. I think the main thing that turned me off was how the graphics weren't that good. A lot of it just seemed a bit too crudely drawn. Then again, I don't really have anything to complain about that much as it's enjoyable. It kind of annoyed me how the snow monsters were unkillable. That did add some variety.

I thought the exit sign was something I would die at. It's weird how you have to jump off something to beat the level. It's also weird how this started from a burger joint. It's a very odd game, but because of that, it's quite creative. ArmorGames has done everything through the years.

[Flash Crisis]

I found this to be a good game. I'm not really a fan of these shooting games. Well, some are great but that's mostly because you have more mobility. I thought the music was good and fast-paced. There seemed to be a lot going on. I liked how you didn't have to click seperate buttons to hide and reload.

It went together nicely. I like the design and even if it's not that creative, it still works well. It's basically a good old standard shootup. If you like any of those kinds of games, you should enjoy this. I am and I obviously enjoyed it.

[Snow Ball]

I thought this would be a game where you'd play in a snowball fight. It turned out to be something much better. I have always loved these Javanoid or Arkanoid games or whatever they're called. I think all the little effects are really cool. November 30th isn't too early for a Christmas game. At least it's after Thanksgiving.

I never would have expected such a cute little game. I think the TNT should have been a bit more expensive. The music is fairly good. It has a nice technological tone to it while still being Christmas oriented. The graphics are good too.

[Collinks Remix]

Dude, it's been forever since you've submitted something. You are one of my favorite artists here and this just goes to show why that is! I love how the colors are so bright and everything. I remember the original version of this game from literally years ago. It's great to see you back in business. Even if you don't do full time, you at least made something great.

There should be sequels to your most popular games, as this was one itself. I think the sound effects are just great. It seemed vaguely Mario esque. I appreciate all the hard work and effort put into this. Remixes in general aren't that popular.

wvaldez responds:

Wow, I didn't know I still had fans since like you said I haven't submitted in years. I've been wanting to get back into development. I appreciate the review. I will probably start off making new games rather than doing sequels. I made this one an exception because I wanted to get my feet wet with Flash again.

[Armor Dude]

I found this to just be a mediocre game. I couldn't really understand what I was doing in the first level. I had to destroy the castle but it was my own? In the next levels, it didn't have castles like that. Oh well, it does have good designs. The main character looks like Snake.

It just got a tad too repetitive. You were mostly just going the same motions over and over. This game does look like it has potential. A pity something with over 200K views hasn't had a review in a long time. I am glad to assist you, friend!
