Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Bloom Defender]

What a great game!

This game was truly amazing because I had to struggle on every single level! I just love the way the enemies looked. Everything had a really goofy cartoonish appearance to it, but that certainly didn't make it any easier. I think my favorite thing would have to be being able to use the special attacks even when they're not at full power. In fact, only the one at the end seemed to not be able to be used until it was fully charged. The music was also great and harmonic.

I love how you create this awesome green world. It took me awhile to figure out that you had to have your arrow aimed right dab in the square in order to plant something. It seemed like I was going all over the place there. The graphics are fantastic and give off a great sense of quaintness. We could all take lessons from you!

[Madness interactive]

I remember this!

This is one of the first online games I ever recall seeing on the Internet, not just on this website! The coolest thing about this is that it incorporates all the elements from the series. I especially loved the variety of enemies, like the Agent lookalikes. Yes, I played this entire game using cheats. It's simply too hard for me to get ahead in this game if I don't! Seriously, it makes me realize how impossibly strong Hank is! I think this may have been the first Madness game.

There have been so many made since then, which probably are better in my opinion. It's still great to have the music and everything here. I'm not going to say how to get the cheats, because many people already have. It's weird how a game would have a "Cheats" section to it. This is something people on the Internet will always remember!

[Cyber Mice Party]

Quite unique

Well, this is really a game where you don't know what to expect. I think the best thing about it is that it really is something out of the ordinary. It is a little hard to love because I'm not used to this sort of thing. It was interesting to see a pretty nice variety of colors presented in this. From the description, I thought it was going to be a game where I was a mouse that tried to find my way out of a maze. The sound effects were pretty cool.

Wow, these cyber mice sure are super tiny. I think this could have been better by perhaps not having so much empty space. Then again, that might have made the game too easy. You certainly know how to create a pretty interesting world for the player to interact with. It's not one of the best things you guys have made, but not one of the worst either.

[3 Slices]

Very cool!

When I first saw the title of this game, I thought it was gong to be a golf one! It was really cool to come up with different ways to cut these squares up. The hardest one for me was easily Level 3. In case anyone else is suffering as much as I am with that one, here's how to beat it. You have to first create cuts through the bottom and top part right where the rest is exposed to the outside. Then you should use a slice that splits the top part from the rest.

It could have been more detailed, but it wa still plenty fun. I guess it helps that I'm realizing that puzzle games like this really make your mind exercise. It's amazing how hard it can be where you have to get 100% of the red part away. The sounds are decent. You might also want to put in a background of some kind.

[Kookin' Kidz]

Not too bad

What I didn't like about this was that it seemed to be a bit too difficult and/or boring. The weird thing was how it seemed to take such a long time to drag the kid to the cauldron. I do, however, have to give you credit because the game is actually very well done. The graphics are very good and it really gives you a sense of being in a quaint world. When the game involves witches eating children, that's hard to do.

It just seems too easy to die here as you fall down too quickly. At least it's satisfying to torture those annoying kids. You're really going to have to get low because they always duck if they go right above their heads. It's just great to see a really flashy environment. I was thinking this would need music, but it's fine the way it is.

[Slacker 2]

Better than it seems

I wasn't that interested in this game at first because the quality seemed so low. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it actually is a very well thought out game. I do wish that you would put some more detail on the animation/graphics. I like how everything is presented in such a simple manner. It's a nice game for you to go out and experiment with as it isn't that confusing. It could still use more detail, though.

I am normally not a fan of point 'n click adventures, but this was pretty enjoyable. I guess it mostly works because of how everything is presented in a nice clear cut manner. The music isn't bad, but it does get annoying after awhile. I especially like how each of the characters is designed differently. I wish I liked it enough to give tips.

[Grotembit]

Weird way of spelling his name

I thought this was a very well done game, mostly because of how well it was paced. You could really just go around anywhere you wanted and it didn't matter who you were fighting. I did have problems with this in that I felt it was just the same place over and over again. You guys did do a good job of mixing it up by having different villians show up. I especially love the kicking and punching sounds. It's at its coolest when you fight while in the air.

I wish some of those stronger enemies had a health bar. The music is nicely done and it sets up the tone for a classic fighting game. We could all learn something from this style. I am recognizing the style of Joelasticot as he is truly a fine animator on this website. It's the kind of game you can play a long time as it goes on forever.

[Drop Dead: Final Cut]

A falling puzzle game?

I think that's the first time I ever noticed that description under "Genre". I thought I had gone threw every one of these games! It is simply fantastic to realize that there was never a point where you gave up being awesome in this! I think the thing I like most is how you can go to any level you want. Don't get me wrong, challenges are great, but it is more convienient this way. I never knew Pedobear had a female version of himself before these games.

It is so awesome how this is a game that just plays itself so much. You can really put the doll anywhere and wait for the bloody action! I do not have an iPhone, but it is great that you managed to create something like this for it. I think my favorite element would be the spinning blue balls. Wow, that sounds kind of dirty now that I've written it. I am glad to say I went on to play all the other games!

ttursas responds:

LOL, thanks! :) We try to surprise even ourselves with every new Drop Dead game we make. Drop Dead 4 is in the works, and it should have quite a few new things in it, but as we changed our schedules again a bit it won't be out until Q2/2012... PS. The iPhone version hasn't sold much and has gotten quite bad reviews, it seems that iPhone users don't like this genre.

[Tessera]

Another one!

I am surprised that there are so many of these puzzle differences games on this website. It's just that after playing many, I'm not that interested. It was pretty weird how you also worked a story into this. What is cool is the fact that the drawings were actually very well done and detailed. The music was very pleasant and gave off a good sense of a lullaby. I'm in no mood to sleep, but can know what it's like to want to.

It's interesting to look at how many different things there are in a scene. It's like when you realize you don't actually see most of them all at once. It takes many glances to get down every single detail. I am glad you managed to achieve score success with this. Next time, you could probably make it a little more detailed with more variety.

[Colony Defenders TD]

Really well done!

I thought this was very nicely done because I had no idea it was going to even be a defense game! It seemed more like an RPG at first. What was really cool was how so there were such a nice variety of people and weapons to help you. I think my favorite is the long cannon thing. The sounds are nicely done and quite authentic to the theme of fighting in a war. The graphics were really good in this, especially the scenery.

What I also liked was how you gave the player a lot of space to go out and play. That always helps in a defense game. It could have been more detailed, but it's still great from what it is. The enemies are also really well detailed. There's a real sense that there's a lot going on and I certainly had fun with it. I look foward to more in the future!
