Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Thats my dungeon!]

I wasn't too impressed with this submission, mostly because the graphics weren't that good. It also doesn't help that the game is extremely hard. I hate how there are so many things pointing to each other that you can't figure out what's going on! Well, I guess gamers who are more into this sort of thing should take more enjoyment. I do think that the idea's pretty cool. You really play a game where you use rats to defend.

Heck, it's rare a game uses rats at all! The coolest thing about this was probably how there were some pretty good designs, even if it didn't blend together too well. The music was alright. I hope you can have some more straightforward gameplay. I like how the blue arrows point everywhere.

[Untouchable]

I thought this was a very nice game! The coolest part about it was probably how well everything was set up. You got a great sense that you were in a world with a lot of enemies coming after you. What's also amazing is how there are so many good designs in this, yet it isn't very complicated. I will say that I am very annoyed when you get to that one boss who seals you in a room with nothing with himself in it. He doesn't automatically kill you, but always hits you there.

The music was also good and it gave off a good sense of being in a technological world. You just never knew what was going to come up next in this. It was quite fast paced, so after awhile, you just have to make sure not to get hit. It seems like you practically go into the blasts, they're so easy to hit! It's a good game.

[Onslaught 2]

Here's a great game that works well because there is so much subtley to it. The graphics aren't that impressive, but it really is a fun game in itself. I think it might be because you didn't try to make it too fancy or anything, just portray the game as how it's supposed to be. I had fun watching all the little hits. It's standard tower stuff and while not revolutionary, it seems to take us back to our roots. Well, I guess it is kind of old by modern standards.

I love the idea of a game that plays itself. I have been writing this review and haven't had to add any new defense tanks yet! You really don't know what to expect to come up next in terms of enemies. It didn't seem to go with a general theme, just random objects. It was interesting that way.

[New York Shark]

This is one of the most awesome games you have submitted if not your best! I am glad you had that Osama bin Laden joke since he was dead. The coolest thing about this was probably how unbelivably fast paced it was! There were tons and tons of things going on that you could chomp on. I also love how there's a lot of funny background events like the Stay Puft Marshmellow Man appearing. I love eating the sailors, the cows, everything!

What was also cool was when you got the asteroid and the game promptly ended with the shark on his way to Mars. I can guess where the next game is going to take place! You just keep surpassing yourself in awesomeness with every shark game you create! I thought 3 million was high, but someone here has 17 MILLION! Even the music is wonderfully stylish, with how how you portray the action. I am a fan now and forever!

[Zombies, Inc.]

I love zombie games, but I am generally not a fan of those that are particularly complicated. I was hoping this would be a zombie defense game or something. It turned out to be actually fairly enjoyable. It's mostly because it doesn't require a lot of thought into it. Granted, I've only gotten into the normal part of the difficulty. I think the graphics are done pretty well. My favorite bit is how funny the zombies look when they're attacking a city.

I appreciate you looking for originality in your games, as this seemed like it. There's a lot going on, but take your time to get used to everything. The detail could probably be a bit better. That would actually be a cool name for a film company. You simply can't get enough zombies!

[Crazy Numbers: Speed]

Yikes, this is one of the most fast paced games I've ever played! It's not that there's anything wrong with that, it was just very hard to complete with how there were 100 questions and you only had three seconds to answer each one! At least this does a good job of having me learn my times tables. Then again, I'm in college, so I don't want to go into math anyway. I thought the music wasn't bad. It seemed to really keep me going with how hard the game was.

I didn't understand what that "reverse" thing meant. I was trying so hard to get everything right, I wasn't even paying that much attention. Here are some hints. An odd or even number paired with an odd or even number will always result in an even number. One number that is odd plus an even number always equals an odd number. You should teach math class!

GoldenChain responds:

Thanks for your positive review :)
The time actually depends on the difficulty you choose, the Easy difficulty for example gives you 5 seconds at the cost of the score multiplier of course.
I thought the new music was good too, credit the musician who made it available though :)
And reverse means controls are reversed, Left stands for correct and Right for incorrect (You didn't check the Help section did you ^_^ ) which means if you get something right and answer as usual it would be wrong.
I would't teach maths though, no one likes maths teachers :)

[2011 - A Quiz in Review]

Wow, it's not often that you stumble across a game that's so intelligent. This really makes me want to go back and think about what I've learned throughout the past year. It makes you realize how many other countries there are. You seem to rarely hear about some of this stuff, because of all the celebrity news and junk. In case anyone's wondering, here are some answers. Pakistan was the country with floods, Japan was the one with the tsunami.

Seven billion people were said to come last year. Palestine was voted as a member of the UN group, UNESCO. Kim Jung-un was named as the ruler of North Korea. Tokelau, along with Samoa, realigned its timezone. There are tons more, and it would simply take forever for me to answer every one.

Little-Radiodemon responds:

Well I tried to find some events that where covered but not too much, so they would make for harder questions :p

[Shrinkit 2]

It's a fairly unique game you have here. What's the most interesting is how you're able to have so many complicated parts in a game that's fairly simple. It seems like you really went out of your way to make some of these levels complicated. You have to shrink the things at just the exact right size if you want to advance. I like the music, it sounds Oriental, but that doesn't seem to fit the overall tune of the game, but whatever. I have reviewed so many games I could never remember if I went through the first one.

The graphics could be a little better. Of course, detail isn't a major factor in this game. What's important is that it's a really nice cheery game, particularly with how it seems to be so bright. I love how the blue shape is smiling. It's a nice little game to play if you don't want to put a lot of stress on yourself.

NPGames responds:

THANKS, Its reviews like this that make me love newgrounds!

[Ovum Defender 2]

Wow, I'm surprised this doesn't have a much higher score! I really enjoyed this! I guess my only complaint is probably how it can be difficult to see whethere you are dying or not. You just get so wrapped up in the game it is hard to keep track. The best part about this is probably how you are allowed to switch between playing yourself and going on auto-pilot. For the record, playing yourself is a lot better because I can barely get any good damage with the auto-pilot.

I also think it was pretty nicely drawn, even if the designs were a bit cheesy. My favorite part is the powerup that allows you to freeze the opponents. That has to be the funniest looking sperm I have ever seen. I imagine, seeing as how there are millions of sperm, this would be a long game to play. I hope this becomes more popular.
