Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Age of Defense 4]

Not your best

This game was fairly decent, but it was far from the best in the series. The main fault with this is that after awhile you do realize that you're basically just destroying the same enemies over and over. How many kills do you have to get to actually advance to Level 2? It's at least good because it has nice graphics. It's especially satisfying to see the cavemen get hit on the head over and over. I was thinking that maybe the enemies were coming from some base you had to destroy, but they were not.

The controls are nice as well and are not the least bit complicated. I just would have liked some more variety. It's still nice to play because it has the same addictiveness that made the other games so playable. You do get a lot of good oppurtunities to hit your enemies. Hey, when you hit pause and change the volume, you automatically control your character (even though he doesn't actually hit anybody).

[Totem Destroyer]

Nice puzzle game

This was a really cool game to play because it had a very unique feel to it. It was just cool to slowly get rid of the blocks but allowing the main character to still live. At first I thought you were supposed to make him fall to the ground. I guess I've played so many of those violent video games I rarely think of ones where you actually have to protect someone. The tune seems to really go in with the theme. It has a jungle/wild theme to it which fits the totem is what I mean.

You really have to just mess with everything if you want to figure out how to get the right combination. It isn't that hard to understand to just play with when you get rid of something. There wasn't that much detail, especially in the background. It is still a puzzle game that I would recommend as it doesn't get too hard. It's funny how your mouse turns into a bomb!

[Desert Moon]

Wow

This was quite a bit harder than I thought it was going to be. When I reached the last level on "Normal" mode it said that I actually had over 150 enemies to fight! I just think that's really too much for anything like this! At least I managed to get that far as the graphics are good. The thing I do not like is that it does seem like there is not much detail put into the characters. My favorite attack would have to be when you can get the base to refract like that on the enemies. I didn't know I could do that until I was desperate enough to try.

The way the bombs and stuff move across the screen is very cool. It does seem like it just gets hard way too quickly! At least the music is fairly decent and better players than me should have fun with it. It's defintley a big environment so it gives you lots of room to fight. Just a little easier and some more detail.

[Warfare Transporter]

How nice

This was not one of the best games out there, but it was quite decent. The best thing about it is that the graphics are really well done. It is interesting to look at the designs of the ships and the planes and everything. I probably didn't like this as much as some people because I am just not that good at it. It is hard to determine whether or not a click is going to result in a shot from the top or bottom. At least the planes are easier to hit as your missile (or cannonball) is easier to control than the underwater mine.

It certainly does make it satisfying when you manage to destroy some ships. There were good flashy effects here, even when the plane crashed into the ship you were controlling! It was nice as always to show how much time you have left. You have to manuever when the ships fall down. I also like how the cannonballs shot just plop down when they do not hit something.

[Crate Escape]

Interesting game

While not the best game out there, this was still pretty fun to play. The fun in it is mostly how simple it is. All you have to do is move these crates over and over. I am glad you do not have to work hard to move all the crates as they each can be pushed off. It's interesting to see the different variety of sizes you get. You really have to watch out for whatever is coming out next from the top. What's also cool is how you are able to turn the music off.

It's fun at first, but the tune gets a little annoying. It's still a well done game even if it did not have the most detail. I suggest you probably putting in more of a background and maybe more designs in the boxes. The gameplay itself really has little that is wrong with it. It was also nice to throw in powerups to make you faster.

[Ninja Hunter]

Very impressive!

This was really cool to play because the graphics were just so good! It was also sweet to have two kinds of gameplay even though neither were really that direct. It's just great to watch these ninjas fall one after another. The best part would have to be when some of them are just dropping by the air and I kill them before they hit the ground. In fact, I don't think they've ever managed to hit the ground before I hit them. The graphics are just so great with how CGI the characters moved.

I am a big fan of defense games and I am always looking for new and innovative ones! This was a great twist and it gives me hope that you can always find different kinds. The music was pretty good as well. You can simply not do wrong by putting ninjas in defense games. It helps that I'm such a great typist making me really good.

[Fly Pie]

Tons of fun!

Dude, I had no idea how something so simplistic could come off as so entertaining. It was really good with just how good the graphics were. There was just a real good sense of innocence and just a desire to have fun with the game. It's not one of the best, but it's definitley worth playing. I just love the way the little frog's legs run all around the screen as he swims. I should have realized that touching the lilypads would always be bad.

At least you were really fair with how points were deducted. You did not die upon touching something you were not supposed to, just lost some seconds. I also liked how the arrows told you where to go. It just seemed like you were making it too easy for me! It's so fun I simply do not care how simple it turned out to be.

[DN8]

Awesome game!

This was one sweet game because there was just so much going on! Let me also say that the powerup of those little guys absorbing the blows is probably the best powerup ever! I am so glad to be introduced to your style. The medals did not show up when I got them, but they did show up on my profile! The cybernetic voice was also really cool. I just love how there was such an amazingly good amount of colors and designs put into this.

There is always something going on and you really know how to prepare yourself for it. Don't think that a boss appearing is going to make the level end, especially as the game progresses. The backgrounds were simply flawless and showed great innovation in their designs. These kinds of games makes me proud to be an online gamer. I wish you the best of luck in all future work!
