Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Thor Towers]

Wow, I had no idea that a game that looked so simple could have so much style. What really makes this work is that it doesn't try to be elaborate or anything, it just gives off what it's supposed to give off. I had no idea that there were so many people who were so good at this game. It's pretty satisfying when you get to see the giant tower you have created. Granted, that also means you lose the game, but it's still nice to look at. I don't know what this has to do with Thor.

The music is also very nice and gives a nice game show appearance with it. It almost seems like it could be on a game show of some sort. While there isn't much detail, the graphics you do have are really nice. I appreciate the simple things. I am glad to see this won an award of any kind.

[Drake in Winterland Race]

Wow, this is one of the coolest games I have seen here in the past couple of months. The artwork looks a lot similar to the stuff from the "Ask Shagg" comic strip. Yes, I am one of the few people who still reads newspaper comics. The best part about this is how wonderfully colorful everything is. What's also nice is how it just goes on and on. This is the kind of game where it seems you can never stop playing, because of how long the levels are.

The music is also great and sends off a really stylistic tone to it. I appreciate the literally cool world this dragon lives in. There is just so much going on, you can't help but enjoy it. Not to mention that it's easy to get upgrades, at least one at a time with all the crystals you get. The music is also nice and it seems to put you in a classic era. I hope this wins Daily Feature!

Thanks for your comment. We really appreciate

[Drops]

I thought this was a pretty good game in its own right. Its weakest point was probably how it didn't have much to offer in terms of graphics. The shapes weren't that interesting. I was fairly impressed at how hard this game managed to be. The sound effects were pretty good, with all of the stuff coming down on you. This is a game where you have to come up with strategy fast.

I also wish you could have had more music in it. There was just a little bit as well as those sound effects. Then again, I guess something like this doesn't need to be that well detailed. It still seems like a game worthy of having medals. What's the criteria for something having medals here, anyway?

[Relic]

I was really impressed by how good the graphics were in this! Everything is very nicely detailed and it gives you the sense of being in a professional game. What I also thought was nice was how everything was presented in a fairly clear manner. It's only until you get to the part with the actual battling that you run into problems. I have to admire the original designs and how well it all fits together. That ad was a bit annoying.

I like how there were a lot of things going on. The detail was so nice in how there were a lot of objects. Even the rocks seemed to be well designed. I wasn't expecting it to start out in a room. It seems like such a basic thing, but I don't remember seeing it in a lot of RPGs here.

Thanks for the thoughts and feedback!

[GOON: The Game!]

This game was pretty good of its kind. I guess "Abobo's Big Adventure" is simply a tough act to follow. I just wish there could have been more moves, but I didn't look them up, so that's my fault. It's great to see all the good action and carnage you would expect to see in a game like this. It makes you realize how bloody these video game fights are. We played some violent stuff when we were kids. I like the announcer's voice.

I'm not a fan of hockey, so I don't know about most of these people. What's funny is that it's pretty well detailed, but the pixellation could be a bit better. I like how it's the kind of game that you can experiment with while playing. There's all kinds of moves you can use, especially with the weaker opponents at first.

[Survival Dood]

This is another one of those games that's just so weird. What I do like is how it's pretty easy. I love the notion of someone as ridiculously fat as this guy would go skinny. He'd eat himself before he lost enough weight! In case anyone's wondering, he's how to get through the first day. Open the box and use the knife to cut off part of the tree. Then touch the rocks and use the match to build a fire.

You guys should be able to finish the rest of this by yourselves. What I didn't like was how the graphics were nothing special. The actual fat guy himself is funny to look at, but he's not in a well made environment. At least it's the kind of game you can really take your game with. It could have also used music.

[Konki Chuck]

Here are the pros and cons. The cons are that you have to wait so long to begin a level. I'm not sure if clicking the "Retry" button saves all the meters you have come across or do you get a medal for getting all the medals in one go? It was also pretty hard to launch, because you didn't have much control. I will give this credit because it is a very wacky game with lots of cool stuff in it. I just wish I had a better understanding of how to play it.

It's great to see all this weird stuff going on. I had no idea that hitting a volcano would make everything negative and make you fly away. I really don't think the vehicles help much in terms of momentum. This is just a very nicely detailed game and I would recommend it to people who are fans of surreal stuff. The cows seem to fly.

[Rupert's Zombie Diary]

Wow, I am so glad there are so many awesome zombie games on this webiste! This is a game that works very well simply because it's a never ending onslaught of zombies and other destructive monsters coming. I like how they all had different designs. The overall cartoonishness of it was just fantastic. I like how you have so much mobility as well as how the monsters have a lot of mobility. I don't even know how to earn medals, I just get them.

The music is also great. At first I thought the villian in the opening cutscene was going to be the person that you played. It's great to see the bullets flying and slowly weakning those guys. It's funny how some of them are just torsos going around before you shoot them. I think they might actually get stronger when you shoot their legs off! This is an instant classic.

[Flash RPG Tower Defense]

I didn't enjoy this game as much as I could, if only because it was so hard. It was so easy at first, but even when I put it on "Normal" mode, it was too hard to get ahead. What's also bad is how the arrows and stuff don't seem to make any noise. It would be a nice touch if they did. At least the monsters themselves are pretty well detailed. It seems like a pretty standard tower defense game, just not the most creative.

The characters just seem to come out too soon. Well, I do keep pressing the "Next Level" button, but I doubt it would help if I didn't. The music is alright. I guess it's when you're writing reviews like this, you notice how good or bad the music is. I appreciate you trying to do something enjoyable, which is what most people do anyway.
