Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Defender'sQuest (big)demo]

Better than I thought!

I wasn't that interested in this, seeing as how it looked like an RPG. I am fairly glad to find out it actually was not. Well, as the genre suggests, it does combine strategy and defense into one game. I think the best thing about this is probably how good the graphics are with their detail. It also helps that there's a lot of easy medals to get, even the secret ones! It seems like you have set up a good story for yourself.

It reminds me of when I was talking to a friend just last night about drawing on the Internet. While most of it is done with sprites, the drawn scenes are great too. The story moves along at a pretty good pace. I am so getting used to hearing that funny sound whenever a new medal pops up. Well, I guess it's not so much funny as it is cool.

[Mission in Space]

Nice mission

What I thought was neat about this was how good the graphics were. I'm not that into turn based games, but this was an exception! Everything was just so wonderfully detailed. My biggest complaint is that it seemed like it was way too easy for the aliens to kill you in just two hits. Of course, this is a game where you can kill the aliens all at once. The music was also good and set the tone for a nice science fiction place.

I like how the alien monsters appear as white spots at first. It really gives you an idea of intimidation. All of the sounds are nicely authentic, especially with how the aliens roar. It's a bit hard to understand the objectives some time, but overall it's great to play. It's only until Level 3 that you really have to use some strategy.

[SCGMD4]

Barely got far

This is really cool. I am generally not a fan of games like this, probably because I am not very good at them. What I found weird was how I wasn't able to even tell how I was scored until I looked down below. I might have had more fun if I hadn't known that, because then I would have had more fun when the guy moved around. The animation was fantastic. None of the medals showed up, but I suppose everything's going to go fine.

I especially like how this has such a high spirit to it. It's not that well detailed, but it's still very nicely animated. What's cool is how the title is so awsome and I don't even have any idea what it's supposed to be. It's nice to know that people are making games in this genre that can appeal to different kinds of people. I'd enjoy a piano game better.

[Escape the Bathroom 3D 2]

Nice!

I thought the atmosphere in this game was really well done and I at least managed to get further than I could with most of these games. I thought the music was good and it really set the tone well. The all around graphics are just nicely done. Here are some instructions for the game. First, go over to the toilet tank and get a paper clip. Then click twice on the paper towel dispenser to get to the empty roll inside.

Then combine it with the broken plunger next to the toilet to create a full plunger. Then click on the toilet and click on the key you find inside. Use the key to unlock the topmost door in the cupboard under the sink. Click on the picture above the kitchen sink and then check the cupboard again and that's as far as I got.

[Robots vs Zombies (Game)]

A very nice game!

I think this might be the first defence game I've played where you were able to defend yourself with an actual character. Defense games can be annoying when it's just not you controlling it. It might not be much, but it's still a really cool feature. The music here is also great and gives you a wonderful sense of being in a technological world. The best thing is probably how good the graphics are. The towers themselves look great when seen from the standard aerial view.

Even the monsters are very nicely designed, with a lot of effort being put into making them look unique. It's nice to see a lot of strategy game combined with a defense one. I'm normally not a fan of strategy games, but anything goes well with defense games. I appreciate how cool it is when seeing the monsters die. This was a good unique experience.

[Hyper Sphere]

A true adventure!

It really seemed like you went out of your way to make something original. I thought this was going to be like the ball games where you fall down to a target. It turned out to be something I thought was a little better. The coolest thing was the graphics. It was fun to see all of these crazy enemies trying to get at you in ways I had not seen before. The hyper sphere itself is very nicely designed. It takes awhile to get used to, but it's still great.

The music is also good and creates tension well. It's really not as fast paced as you would think. Again, I'm more used to playing the ball games by jmtb02 which are just really hard. I'm definitley not criticizing you, I'm saying you're doing well by giving your player an easier time. I thought the trap door was activated by me stepping on the square but it was automatic.

[This is the Only Level 3]

How strange again

I thought it was just going to be that one picture with the level. It must have been awhile since your last one, because I didn't understand the joke at first. It was the same level, albeit done with different things added to it every time when you repeat it. The one that I'm having trouble with is the fourth level or part, I guess. If you want to know how to get through the first three, it's fairly easy. On the first, just touch the lever to make the pipe again.

On the second one, don't do it at all because it's already open. On the third one, do it in the middle and then it will open. I think it's funny how I eat my own poop which looks so delicious. That's a great way to create infinite food! As it featured that blue elephant, I thought this would have a lot of medals in it, but it didn't, which I guess is for the best.

[Journeys of Reemus 4]

Another good entry

I can't believe there have only been four of these so far. At least everything works out well for the game, as it's as good as ever. I suspect this will eventually have medals. The funniest part was when the lady said that missions to save the world came six times a day. Given how many games there are around, I wouldn't deny that at all. To get started, just click on the woman and then click on one of the chores, I chose the bee one.

You'll get a message from the flower house owner that says "Force open" something, "tree trunk". Pick up the hose and then go over to the last screen and get the rock. Sad to say that's as far as I got. The animation is really well done in this, as are most of the games you have worked on. I appreciate you consistently making good games.

[the fairy in the jungle]

Could be a lot better

I guess the main fault of this game was that the graphics were of such low quality. It seemed like it was just a poorly drawn woman shooting at bees. The gameplay made no sense. I know that I hit some of the bees, but they didn't fall down. Worse yet, when they did fall down they didn't show up on the board! It said that I had a score of 1, even though I know I saw numerous bees going down! I guess that might have just been the way they were flying?

Either way, it doesn't make for a good game. It's only saving grace was that it was nice to be able to move. Everything just looked so silly for it to be any fun. I know that might sound like an oxymoron, but if a game is that nonsensical, it really can't be played well. The text was also fairly simple, even if it wasn't featured that much.

Oh you mess around and broke my game
