Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Tower Defence]

Congrats on the views

Well, it must be weird having something so popular that most people don't seem to like. What I didn't like about this was how the graphics were not very good. Everything just seemed so bland. I have played so many defence games that have had better detail. Even the name needs to have more to it. It would also be a lot more enjoyable if there were sounds to accompany the enemies as they were being defeated.

I suggest you put in a lot more detail into pretty much everything. Try to work better with the shading, because it seems way off in this. Well, maybe not so much off as it looks like it took little effort to make. The music wasn't that bad. I am sorry, but there is definitley a lot of room for improvement for the creation of another game.

[Tactical Force 1]

Nothing that special

I thought that the graphics in this were really impressive. It reminded me of those awsome "Time Crisis" games I used to play in arcades. Of course, those were better because they were better paced. I guess this could have been better if there had been some more suspenseful music or something. It got a bit redundant how I was able to just shoot the same guys over and over. The headshots were effective, though.

The controls were fairly easy to understand. I guess the use of locations could have been better. I must have hands that are shakier than I think because during the sniper sections I am just not able to get immediate hits in training. For some reason, I thought this would be a defense game. I guess there have just been a lot of those lately.

[Touch The Core2]

Hard to like that much

I guess I can't say it's that bad because I seem to know so little about it. I got the first level done pretty easily. All I had to do was simply take my mouse cursor to where the dot was and wait for everything else to stop moving. The second level is freaking murder for me. I tried touching the key, but I died. In fact, I tried touching everything on the entire screen and I kept dying. I don't think it's possible to progress without touching at least one thing.

I guess I will give you guys credit for having a decent layout. Everything is presented in a fairly clear cut manner. There have been literally thousands of games I have played here so I wouldn't know what the original was like. It was pretty cool to have such a wide variety of music. It seemed more of a puzzle game than anything else.

thanks ericho for the comment, I update the level order then,please check it up again

[CCL game]

Quite unique

What I thought was really weird about this was how I didn't know what some of these things were at first. I thought the wave thing was a drill. It certainly wouldn't make any sense like that. What I thought was the best was how you could really experiment with this game but another downside was that it just took so frigging long to find the right combination. It could have also used some more color. The all around graphics are still well done.

The sounds are nice and they synch up well with everything. I like how these little things just go off whenever they are doing nothing. It's interesting to note how so many of these things fit together and how each part is very important. It takes awhile to understand it, but it might be worth it to complete the level. I have to give you props for coming up with something original.

[Ball Revamped: Metaphysik]

Sequel?

There have been so many of these games it's hard to keep up with them all! The best thing about this is probably how well the graphics are. Everything just looks so wonderful and clear. The game itself is pretty hard for me, mostly because of how fast the ball moves. Still, it's a good game because it shows off a nice arrangement of colors but doesn't try that hard to be flashy. I can't ask for more detail because that would make the levels harder.

It's weird how it goes so fast. I'm having fun right now as I'm watching the ball go past the screen over and over. I must have lost an infinite number of lives simply by typing this review. I like the little dinky sounds the ball makes when it hits a wall or finishes the level. Balls are simply something you can make a good game of.

[Nyrdl Madness]

A rat game?

When I first played this, I thought it was going to be a cartoon at first. Yes, I normally don't look under the file info. The coolest thing about this how you had no idea what was going to happen next. The weirdest part was probably how it started off as you being a straw and blowing things away and then you suddenly were a rat. The most annoying thing is that I died twice on the exact same thing! I guess it shows I have good memory.

The atmosphere was really good in this, particularly the music. It's weird how cartoonish everything looks in contrast to the more realistic mouse. You succeeded in making a truly bizarre and fun game. Everything goes pretty fast and it's hard to keep up with. It's one of those games where you have to experiment with everything.

[Merry Schmess Frenzy]

This is very strange

Well, this is the first time I've played where I played a Santa who pooped in the chimneys. I have no idea why he's doing this. I guess he's just in a crappy mood, huh? I suppose for the most part this was decent, seeing as how the graphics were quite well done. I was afraid it would be too easy at first, but then the reindeer really starting flying. I have no idea what's going on, so I'm not even going to ask any more questions.

I liked how you had great mobility. You could really go anywhere you wanted and crap. I guess this and "South Park" have shown me that the farting noise can pretty much be the same as the crapping noise. It was hard to enjoy that much, because of how bizarre it was. Still, it was a fairly decent game to play for Christmas.

[DigiWoog Disaster (Woogi)]

Not really my cup of tea

I guess it doesn't help that I'm not a fan of point and click adventures. This was longer than I thought it would be because it was just dailogue over and over. Now, I will give you guys props on having good graphics. What I didn't like was that it was simply too talky. I've played some other games you guys have made, and I have found them to be a lot better. Of course, if you're a fan of these kinds of games, then by all means check it out.

I especially think the voice work is nicely done in this. It's nice to hear you all putting some real effort into what you are talking about. It's just a quaint little world for you to interact with. I like how you always try to send an educational message in your stuff, but still make room for fun. Big fans of yours should like this.

[BLOX Forever]

Good and hard

I truly had no idea that something that seemed so simple was going to be that difficult. I have to give you credit for creating a really good puzzle game. I guess I would have liked it more if it wasn't so difficult for me. If you enjoy doing stuff with your brain, then by all means check this out! The music is pretty good and sets off a nice little random tone to it. I wish I could have seen the chameleon on the menu in this.

You just have to be so careful and plan the best strategies for overcoming this. The all around detail is pretty nice. I like how the little signs on the blocks dance up and down when they are being moved. It's the kind of game that's going to take a pretty long sitting to get entirely used to. Vibrant colors are always good too.
