Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Zombie Stalker]

It's so nice to see MiniClip finally get a front page and/or a Daily Feature again! I'm not going to lie, I kind of thought that this one of the lesser entries in the DF winner series. What is best about it is probably how well the zombies are done. Admittedly, they look a bit clumsy at times, but it was actually done pretty well. It's mostly just standard zombie shooting stuff. It seems like there have been some of those zombie things going on, maybe because of "The Walking Dead" returning.

The music is decent as well. Some of the zombie's designs just look a little weird, but they still have good variety to them. What I also like is how it's basically everything you could want in a zombie game with all the shooting and enemies falling down and stuff. I also liked how you immediately got the weapon that you were given and didn't have to change.

[Flash Element TD]

One of the best out there!

This is an all around fantastic game, probably because it has everything you would need in a defense game. The most special part about it is probably the wide variety of enemies you have. You have no clue what's going to show up next. This is so popular that I'm surprised there isn't a professional company promoting this. Whatever way it was done, it turned out beautifully. This works so well because it doesn't try to be too flashy or anything like that.

It has the perfect amount of different towers to use. The graphics are awesome, especially with how the cartoony coins contrast with the rest of the piece. I appreciate all the nice grunts and sounds that are everywhere. It's extremely addictive. There isn't a lot of path to go around, but with all the enemies and towers, it's a game where you really learn to make your own fun. Congrats on your success.

[tsf Puppy Fetch]

It's fun to play fetch!

Well, I never knew that acting like a puppy could be so fun. What makes this so nicely done is how you have great mobility with your puppy character. You don't know what's going to show up next, with all the crazy things going on. It can actually be fairly complicated with its designs. I'm glad touching the cats doesn't kill you. The graphics are fairly simple, but it makes up for that by being an enjoyable game.

It's fun to just see this little puppy prancing around everywhere. Hey, if I had one, I would want him to get as much exercise as he could! It's weird how the master is some red alien guy. The music is pretty good and it gives you a sense that you're in a good, pleasant world. There could be better details, but still worth playing.

[Paths]

Very innovative!

This truly was an original game! I think the best part about it is how it has such a simplistic presentation but it's executed so well! I was a bit confused as to how I was supposed to get past some of the harder looking parts. It was pretty weird how you were able to actually move the green stuff as the game was going on. It was quite convienient and it made for an interesting game. The music is pretty good and has a nice cheerful feeling to it.

This deserves its place in the "Puzzles" section. It's nice because it seems like the sort of idea that anyone could come up with. You still managed to get this well done because you put a nice amount of style in it. It's interesting to anticipate what crazy map will show up next. Hey, people aren't that good at it, it gets harder obviously.

[Scale of the Universe 2]

Best ever!

I think this might have the highest score of any submission on this website ever! Well, "Warriors Of The Portal" had I think a 4.78 or possibly even a 4.79 at one point. It certainly fits the theme because this is probably the greatest submission ever. There is, however, one tiny error. According to a list of common misconceptions, an earthworm does not become two worms upon being cut in half. At least you managed to debunk some urban legends, like how the Great Wall of China is not visible from the Moon.

Looking at your original submission, I noticed it was lacking the blue whale. I am glad this included it, even if it left some stuff out, like the smallest thing that can go through a surgical mask. I am so glad you expressed the notion that things smaller than quarks were theories. Well, maybe not just that, but that you also said it would be hard to measure anything. I have done some calculations and have discovered that the exact middle is around -6.0. Of course, that is probably not accurate as you pointed out things smaller than quarks are hard to identify.

There's a limit on how many things you can add to your favorites. I am glad to have lost one apparently because this is the new number one thing! I am so proud of having read every single description of every object here. It took me a total of about forty minutes. You have truly made us appreciate how beautiful the Universe is around us and I am very proud to make this my longest review ever!

[pogger 2]

Yeah, don't care for it

I haven't played the original, so it's hard to judge, but I just didn't care for this at all. What's weird is how there seem to be no lines in this. Normally, that's a good idea, but there was just so little going on in this it was hard to like. It also seems like it was too hard. All I am doing is standing by where the enemies are, and I die. I swear that I am not touching them. I'm guessing the doughnut is supposed to signal the others to come?

You could have made it more like Pac-Man by making it so that the enemies could be eaten. Mashing up games is always a good idea. There were some good songs in this, but that couldn't save it. Nothing looks very organized. It seems like this could have made a better game given the premise, but it just wasn't executed well.

So that you are bad at my game. That's not my fault, its yours.

[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.
