Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Minecraft Tower Defence 2]

I guess this is the closest I'll ever get to playing the game on this website. What really struck me as cool was how good the graphics are. It was weird because at first, it was hard for anything to progress even if you speed up the game. Still, this was a very nice game and it had great designs. I've seen enough parodies to be familiar with the Creeper. Not so much with the wolves, though.

I like how the wolves whimper as they die. Hmm, maybe that's a little too sadistic. Anyway, it was great how the game paused when you went on to put a new obstacle in the way. It was cute how everything had hearts for health. It made as much sense as any other Minecraft thing, so it was great!

[Flying Furries]

This was a decent game. I guess I didn't like it as much as most people because it did come off as being a tad silly. I am still glad that this did not result in some more perverted stuff, as you might expect with something with "furry" in its title. I didn't like it how you only had to be near the birds or whatever enemies in order for you to lose. What have those floating food when it's in a place you can't reach it?

Still, this is a fairly original idea. It's no masterpiece, but was at least fun for me to play. The graphics were done in a pretty playful manner and although they weren't that good, they were decent. This does have a cute demeanor to it. It's not too flashy or anything because it doesn't need to be like that.

[Sleepless Assassin]

I liked it, but probably not as much as most people. What I didn't like was that the graphics weren't that well detailed. At least it's a fun game to play, provided you can get through it. I am soooo glad that you didn't have to get every single gold piece to advance to the next level. Don't get me wrong, it's still a very difficult game. It might have been less annoying if you hadn't had the girl grunt every time she jumped.

You really have to pay attention to the in game instructions. You might want to go past them at first, but trust me, they come in useful. It's just a pretty fun game to do. You could have had more locations instead of just this dungeon area. Still, you do get a good open space to work with.

[Ice Cream Bunny]

This game didn't do that much for me. I mean, it does deserve a bit of credit because it actually is fairly colorful. Where it loses points is that it doesn't have that much in terms of gameplay. There was a time where I know I got the upgrades, but my power went back to normal after I lost a life. I don't think that's part of the gameplay and I don't think it should be. I was thinking the title was a reference to the movie "Santa And The Ice Cream Bunny", considered by some to be the worst Christmas movie of all time.

Thank you so much for including an easy medal in this. I don't seem to be having much luck with those lately with all the games I've been playing. The boxing glove just seems kind of poorly designed. I was only able to get in like one hit between its punches. At least the firing was automatic.

[Utopian Mining]

For something called "Utopia" you'd think it would be easier to get around. As I'm not a fan of RPG's, I didn't care that much for this. What I did like was that the graphics were really nice, if not the best detailed. It did seem like a pretty original concept for a game. I thought it would be more of an adventure game where I was drilling everything. People who are fans of these kinds of games should not be disappointed.

It was again, refreshing to see a medal pop up. Everything just had an authentic feel to it. It did get annoying with how there were just so many things you had to get done with, before the main action. I was afraid the controls weren't working, because I couldn't use the arrow keys at first. I then realized you just had to press the "X" button.

[Magic Steel]

It's amazing how far you can go in this game. I think its strongest point is probably how well you can move around. At first I was afraid that I wasn't going to have enough power to use the jetpack well, but I was wrong. It got pretty hectic on the level where I died. You at least managed to give me my first earned medal for the day, my friend! The graphics were really good in this, everything was so nicely detailed.

It's graphics like these that harken back to the old arcade days. Hey, there still are arcades at least. I'm kind of glad there wasn't a medal you get for not skipping the cutscenes, because they went on too long. Then again, that might have been easier if there were. The music was great and set the atmosphere well.

[Angry Bees]

Woah! I have missed out on a LOT of games and stuff being submitted for the past couple of days. I think what makes this game stand out are how good the graphics are. It's really cool to see these floating marshmellow like creatures get shot and stuff. At first, the upgrades seemed like they would be easy to get, but that's just beginner's luck. I have to give this an 8 because it wasn't that enjoyable seeing as how it was so freaking hard.

I like how you've created this vast network with all these things going on. There are just so many things to upgrade. I am having horrible trouble with being able to achieve any medals today! The music is also pretty nice and sets off a good actiony ring. I'm probably going to be the #1 game reviewer here soon!

[i saw her standing there]

I have to admit, I wasn't expecting much of a show seeing as how everything looked so simplistic. I was pleasantly surprised to find out this really was cool! You'd think at least one of those medals would be easy to get on my first run. It was really interesting how there were so many things going on and you had to be so precise with everything. Zombies are for any time of the year, I guess. I actually thought this was kind of cute.

I like the notion of you having a girlfriend whom you always stick by no matter what. A cage is going to work just as well as anything else, I suppose. I guess there could have been some more detail, but it's still very nicely done. The music is pretty cute and gives a nice homey feel to the game. We'll do anything for our girlfriends.

krangGAMES responds:

Well, the "These Heads" medal is pretty easy to unlock. Happy you enjoyed the game!

[Snowball Ambush]

For the most part, it was just a weird game. It seems weird to make a game like this when it's the middle of Spring. Then again, maybe you come from some part of the world where it's snowy at this time of year? I was disappointed to find out that you had no real means of defense here. It was still fun, because the graphics were great. Everything was nicely detailed, even if it looked silly.

I think it would have been better if you could have richoted the snowballs onto your opponents. It just seemed weird that the scores would be so high. The #10 spot has a score of over a million while the #11 spot has 100,000. Error, perhaps? It also helps that the music is nice and it helps you along the way.

ItsTheAshtray responds:

Thanks, nice review. Yeah it is weird releasing this so late. In my defense, I finished it in early February and had some issues finding a sponsor. Turns out I had a lot of design flaws (the high score mode was almost non-existent at that point!). But Tom here was awesome enough to give me some tips and go for a sponsorship. Three cheers for Tom!
