Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Cube Droid]

Great graphics!

I was really impressed by this game with how good it looked, especially the transition scenes to the next levels! It's a little hard to look at, because it seems like it is not taken from an aerial view at first. It was still great to play and also worked well as a puzzle game. The hardest thing was the sixth level when you had to make sure the blue crates touched each other at exactly the right time. On one level, I was able to get away from the blasts but was hit by something else. On my next try, I couldn't do that.

Anyway, this had great music and its story vaguely reminded me of the film "Wall-E", one of my favorite movies. There is just so much creativity put into this! I love how every single tile seems to have its own unique design and function. You guys deserve to have this many views. I love how the worlds are presented by those scenes of the spheres being covered by tiles.

Not too bad

While the animation was kind of lacking, it was still fun to play because it had some good stuff. It was funny how a lot of the enemies just kept eating each other. It sure made my job easier! What I did not like was that I do not think I was able to try again without reopening the page. I click what the guy is saying and this sign tells me to use my mouse which I do, but nothing happens. You also could have given the monsters some better designs.

It was still quite fun to go around with that crane and manuever. It seemed like an original idea to me, but it's something so obvious it probably has been done before. This game can get extremely difficult, especially when you have to retreat so often. I don't know if there is any difference between the red and green enemies. Hey, those are Christmas colors!

Pretty neat

I could not help but be reminded of the "Tron" movies while playing this. While there was not much in terms of racing with a car, it was still fun to play. I like it how you can fire at the red boxes that would otherwise hurt you. It was also a good idea to have a lot of different attacks, including one that nukes everything! It takes a little while to get used to, as the game can be frustrating. The good graphics make up for it.

Another good part was how you seemed to have a lot of different things going on. The designs of the obstacles were fairly unpredictable and you did not know what was next. The music was fairly nice. I suggest that you kind of make this more of a racing game because I was disappointed that you could not even see your vehicle. Then again, I guess you didn't even really have a vehicle.

[Bubble Tanks]

Better!

Like movie sequels, I think this is in fact the best in the entire series. This really works for me because you try to make it quite simple with how the tank gets bigger. It can get annoying when you have to get upgrades and when you do, the tank just becomes bulkier. This also seems to have really slick graphics as I love how smoothly the bubble tank can fire. While a simple game, there is still a lot of detail put into it. It's like your future stuff did not do as well because it tried to be more elaborate.

Everything about this is just cute. Apart from the premise of popping bubbles, you also get to hear that neat little "bing" sound whenever you pop something. This is the kind of game where you can really relax and just take your time. It's a bit repetitive, but still lots of fun. It just goes to show that the best things in life are simple.

3D?

This was a very authentic game in that it gave me a good perception of an actual spy mission. My only problem was that the graphics did not really seem to be 3D, although it was a good imitation. I guess I am just more used to heavy shooting and this managed to be realistic. It was nice to shoot these guys so quickly. The hardest part is probably on the second level where you have to shoot these three (or four?) guys that come out of a door and fire at you. Know that they are coming so you do not take damage.

There was detail put into their deaths. For some reason, when I first tried to play this game it did not load for me but it did the second time (which is now of course). The voice was great and it gave you a good experience of being in a real situation. Granted, I doubt I would stand myself killing all those people. Some seemed to be wearing bulletproof vests as chest shots did not immediately take them out.

[Ninja Pig]

Ninja pig!

It was hard for me to hate this, because there are just so many cool things about it! The one thing that I would really like you to improve on is how fast the ninja pig is. It just seems like he is moving so slowly and can not keep up with the enemies. The graphics could use a lot of work, but what matters is that you managed to be fairly creative. The cheesy outlook of the animation kind of made it more endearing anyway. It was also easy to understand with the level selection and everything else.

The best part of animation was the background, which was decent. While it may seem like a silly premise, you actually really have to learn to keep up with this fast paced game! Constantly jumping is a must to avoid the enemies' blue balls (boy, that came out wrong). I could swear I advanced to the next level and didn't kill the right number of enemies. Hooray for pigs!

[Newgrounds Pass]

Good enough

I liked this game and not just because I could look at other people's comments for the answers. I think that you are not allowed to advance on Level 8 until you actually finish the maze. I tried looking ahead and it would not let me do that. I think there's a glitch on Level 17, because I am not able to click "Jack In". I believe I played this game before at one point, but never reviewed it until now. The sequels to this were a lot better because they were more elaborate.

This was still fun, because you did not know what was going to happen next. Congrats on your Underdog of the Week award, if that is anything you are proud of. I guess I do not have to tell people that this game now has medals. It was nice to be able to choose different kinds of music, because the same kind can get repetitive after awhile. It seems to be both a puzzle game and a trivia game.

[King's Guard]

Fairly good

The best part in this was easily how good the graphics were. While I could not notice much action going on, it was still good with how they were drawn. The details were all nice, but the main flaw was that the gameplay was a bit too simple. At the same time, I could not really understand what these characters were supposed to be doing or how their powers worked. It looks more like an RPG to me. Yes, I know other games have done this before, but this was not the best example.

It is still something I would recommend, as it was simply quite fun. I felt the designs for the things on the blocks were really unique themselves and nice to look at. Thank you for giving us hints on what to do next. I will probably never be able to get more than three in a row. It took me awhile to realize you simply switched the tiles around.

Best entry ever!

I have no clue why this is not one of the most popular of all time as it is the best of the entire series! Apart from the fact that the animation is absolutely gorgeous, the gameplay is great as well. In case anyone has trouble, in the scene with pressing the letters, it changes when you retry. I realized it wanted me to press Spacebar at that moment and not just at any time. This would have been great as a flash as the animation and story are simply great. I was seriously not expecting Shorty to get shot.

I feel as though you felt more for the characters in this one as they had a lot of emotion. Gosh, this is just something that is great to simply look at! These are not just stick figures, they are three dimensional characters with their own stories and personalities. The sound is great and syncs well too. I hope this wins Daily Feature and bigger awards!

Your name?

Wow, I had no idea that your (Barfquestion) real name was Grey Gerling. I think this was probably one of your lesser games because it did not have a lot going on. It was pretty much just those hearts that showed up on the screen. What I did really enjoy was how this still had the great artwork you guys are known for. How impressive of you to submit not one, but two Valentine's Day games! It could have been a bit easier to get some medals, you know when you got bigger and stuff.

The gameplay is interesting because there are advantages and disadvantages as you progress. By becoming bigger, you could absorb more hearts, but it was harder to move around. I like how the characters appeared when you got bigger. It has to be one of the most pleasant games I have ever played. I mean, it's absolutely nothing but happy looking hearts!
