Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Notebook Wars]

Very colorful game

This was a very enjoyable game because it goes back to your childhood. I am sure a lot of us had tons of notebooks that we doodled on. I myself had books all the time of my artwork. It's not something I do anymore, but it's great for nostalgia. The music was bright and cheery as well. What was also cool was how you had so much mobility. The game gave you a lot of freedom to move around. There was also a wide variety of enemies with different durabililty.

If I had any major complaint, it would be that the tanks on the ground are impossible to kill. Seriously, I shot those guys with my biggest bomb and nothing happens. At least you can simply ignore them. While not the best game out there, it's a lot of fun and fairly addictive. Just keep your finger on the button to keep firing.

[Dwarf On A Wharf]

Not too bad

This game was fairly mediocre and it was mostly because there was not much in terms of character design. I did think it was a bit fun to throw those dwarves everywhere. I didn't even find this that offensive! Your animation style kind of reminds me of the stuff by Roger Weide, the one Sonic guy. I especially liked the cheery music that went along. What was, however, frustrating was that you had to be so precise with your launchings. It's misleading with how it's so easy at first.

At least you don't have to go in the middle of the boat to get him in. The voices were a bit funny, even if they were not used that much. The map that shows where the ship is going can be useful. You just need to work with shades as everything seems a bit too dark in this game. It certainly has potential for something better.

[Being One]

Best point and click game ever!

I am going to admit right now that I was never a fan of these kinds of games but this is the best of its kind I ever played! It helps that the animation is just so flawless. You have truly given us the future of online gaming! The best part was how I was able to advance pretty well. Anyway, you start the game by connecting the two fires and then getting rid of the locks on the side. Click on the thing the wires are attached to and go off from there.

It was just amazing with how there was so much detail put into everything. You truly created a unique world for the player to explore. As usual, it's great that you include the walkthrough. It brings a great sense of having your own environment to examine and puts you right there where the action is. Even the flies are well designed!

Thanks, so glad you enjoyed it!!

[Tomb Defender]

Really, a broom?

I liked this game a lot because it had a great sense of adventure to it. While it all took place in the same room, there still seemed to be a lot of space to discover. I especially enjoyed getting to hit so many enemies at one time with those special moves. I do kind of wish you had upgrades in making the tomb more durable (as well as the hero). The cutscenes were fine and I could not skip them. I especially like the funny grunting sounds all these characters make.

There's a great variety of enemies to fight and they have a great variety of attacks as well. You even had a great variety of attacks to use yourself even if it was hard to control them. I'd think this would be a game similar to "Tomb Raider" because of the title. I like how a lot of them just lie on the ground awhile before dying. It gives you time to recover.

[Tower Battle]

Daily Feature?

This was certainly playable but it was far from the best of your games. The really cool thing was how smooth everything played out. There wasn't an attempt to be really complciated, just a straightforward game of shooting people. I guess that didn't work in a way because it was a bit too simple. The sound isn't bad either. It's just that it can get kind of monotonous when you appear to just be shooting and blowing up the same soldiers over and over.

It was a bit hard to understand as I was not able to build turrets. I guess I'm more used to a defense game having other features. I was thinking maybe I could weaken the enemy soldiers by clicking on them, but nothing happened. At least I learned to take my mouse to the other side of the screen to see them coming. Certainly a decent effort.

[The I of It]

You learn to love it

Wow, this was one of the most innovative flash games I have ever played! The thing that really worked well was how there was so little detail but it was so much fun to play! There was just a neverending series of levels to get past all of which required a lot of skill. It's the kind of thing that makes you proud to be a gamer. You can solve a game that is so many genres. I had no idea at all that a story about the letter "I" could be so amazing.

I also love the really light-hearted tone of the narrator. He just seems so professional and exactly like something that would be in an educational film. This was sure educational as it taught me hand eye coordination! The music was also soft and helped moves things along. I guess the pleasant atmosphere stopped it from being frustrating.

[Nyan Cat Super Adventure]

Nyan Cat forever!

Probably the only reason I did not dislike this too much was because it had the adorable Nyan Cat in it! That guy seriously knows how to make every day brighter no matter what the situation. I am, however, starting to notice that it appears to be the same sprite in every game. It's been used so much I can't accuse you of plagairism. The best thing about this game was how simple it was. I guess toasters would be bad news for a pop tart cat.

You could have done more with the effects, especially with the way the lines moved. It's just hard to hate this cat in anything he is in. Try to have a wider variety of objects to avoid and to get. I liked how you could change the language into Nyan where nearly every word was "Nyan". Work harder and you can be more popular.

Troncat responds:

This is my first flash game lol but im no artiest but i made this for a class assignment and im also still making this game i just wanted to see what people said about it. i know i was beaten by most people who came out with this game just before me. Also i hate nyan cat fly its the most retarded game ever! i am making the rainbow follow him(working on that) and thank you guys for saying its too fast! i will make everything slower and gradually get faster! and do you think that i should add more toasters the further you get into it?

[Battle for Wayland Keep]

Very interesting game

I don't think I have ever seen so many people work on a submission that was not a collab. It's just great to see so many people with different ideas working on this. It's just that the gameplay was a bit hard to understand. When everyone was waiting for the second day to occur, there didn't seem to be any way to advance. I tried talking to all the people, but it doesn't seem to help. At least you created some very interesting gameplay.

I couldn't understand it at first, with how you just seemed to click everyone and they died. I thought it would be too hard, but I didn't take any damage at all! I guess I have to give you credit for making something with unique gameplay. The voices were great, especially considering they were all done by you! There was great detail put into each and every character.

[Darnell: Wrath of God]

I thought there'd be more levels

While the game does not have that much to it, I simply can not dislike it, because it is so much fun to play. You basically have to hold the "S" key down the whole time. I suspect that if you slide more, you will avoid getting hit. I was just hearing about all of the tornadoes going on in the United States... Too bad they're too late for the apocalypse. This was great because it had all of the great graphics that make your games so well done.

I must be going nuts, because for a moment I thought Darnell was the girl. I guess that's to be expected when you use such unusual names. The hardest part was dodging all of those flying crosses. The part where Jesus(' head) turned into three turned out to be the easiest part of all. It's great to see the sunburned town in the background.
