Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Avoid the Ball]

Hey, not bad

This was pretty fun to play because it was extremely simple and reveled in its simplicity. The best thing was how the balls seemed to just merge with each other. That made it easier to avoid them. It was far from perfect as it did come off as being a little too simple and could have used some more detail. Putting in a blank background is almost never a good idea. The thing I found also annoying was how that music seem to just continuously loop when it was just the same beat.

You could improve by putting more detail and selecting longer loops of music to use. Of course, you can just turn it off as I now realized so it's not so bad. It is still fun as the game itself is quite fast paced for looking so simple. Most of the time I just go in the same direction but that does eventually fail me. You could also use some work with lines as the blue design does not look impressive.

[Cosmo Pilot]

Needs more pizazz

This does do a good game of what it is supposed to do in terms of a game. The main problem is that there is really not that much detail put into it. I have played far worse games, but there is just so much room for improvement here. For one thing, you really should have some music or at least some sound effects. The cosmo pilot looked Asian to me. It got pretty repetitive as you just shot asteroids over and over.

In fact, every level seems to look the same. You could really mix it up by having a different background or having some different platforms to go onto. It is almost too easy as the fuel many times seems to just fall near the rocketship. The graphics are good, but you need to show off your creative side more. Variety always works in anything.

[Age of Defense 3]

Not one of the better ones

I was really hoping this would be a game where I was going to throw rocks and stuff at people. While I prefer those kinds of games better, this was still fun to play. It is harder than you think because you might mistakenly believe there is only one of a certain kind of enemy! Not much to give on tips, seeing as how you basically just send more the moment you can. I can not understand how you even advance to the next level. Nonetheless, I am good at this game so I can not help but enjoy it.

I suggest that next time you work on a game more like what I described before. It is just strange to see the same enemies being presented in a different kind of game. Then again, tons of popular franchises have made out of the ordinary settings for games. There could have been some better music. It is still nice how everything was presented in a clear and comprehensible way.

[Between The Lines 2]

Really good!

For a game that does not focus on adventure it turned out to be lots of fun! It was just so cool to be able to hit the single button whenever you had to. The sound effects were great and this is a great example of how something can be tons of fun even though it's simple! I was really testing my timing with this. Half the time I was too nervous to push the space button until the thing had gone around at least one time. While there was not much in terms of graphics, the graphics were still good.

The highest score I have been able to obtain is "Rad". I always look for originality in games and such, and this was definitley an idea that had never been done before! Congradulations for making such a simple concept so fun. It's cool to just watch the screens as they change the faster you manage to beat the level. The music is also intense and appropriate.

[Robot Clashes]

Fairly fun to pl ay

I thought this was a pretty good game. The only gripe I really had about it was that it did kind of seem like you were just pressing the same buttons over and over. What it lacked in gameplay it definitley made up for in graphics. It is just entertaining to watch these well designed characters show up again and again. You can really create your own story by increasing or decreasing the rate at which they appear. The music was pretty good.

Mofunzone will simply never stop pumping out good games and congradulations on all of your awards. Even the loading screen is well designed with how the two face each other off. It's easy to tell that the soldier with the fancy hat is supposed to be harder to kill. It gets a little repetitive, but still fun to play. It's weird how their helmets just fly around after you kill an enemy.

[Snake Classic]

Lots of fun!

There are so many versions of Snake out there, it is hard to find one that is truly awesome. This is definitley the best Snake game I have ever played online. Now that I think about it, it is in fact much easier to use your mouse to move the snake rather then use the arrow keys. I really have no idea why this is in the Puzzle Games section. What I do understand is that this has some pretty sweet graphics. I love the wide variety of snake designs you can choose from.

If you were to make another version, it should have different orbs to change the color of the snake! That was pretty much the only thing lacking. The graphics looked so CGI but they also did not try to jump at the player as it was taken from an aerial view. Everything about this is just so cool and you could flow better when you did not have to worry about moving from block to block. You deserve your views and reviews!

GameBalance responds:

Thanks!
I do not very sure what exactly you meant about how would orbs work. Do they just have different color or does level have the orbs from the skins you can choose.

[Benny's Adventure]

Fairly difficult

I should have really known it was going to take more than the average amount of effort to beat this game. I do; however, like it because it has such a simple premise to it and still manages to be hard! The animation is really good especially with how the oxen are drawn. Another cool thing were the cutscenes and how you could skip them easily. An ox who does not like the cold is something out of the ordinary. The environment has so much detail put into it even though it's in a small space.

You have to time it just perfectly to jump across because you have to go on each platform on the lefthand side. The slightest miscalculation can totally throw you off. It can get pretty frustrating but what matters is that the premise is very enjoyable. I would know what it's like to suddenly be in a place that's really cold. It still does not snow in Florida of course.

I did

Wow, this was one of the most amazing games I have ever played here on Newgrounds! It takes a little bit to get interesting but when it really does, it completely takes off from there. I still think there should be a medal you get once you get every single upgrade. It is too bad this was not submitted around Christmas time. It's great to see all the creativity put into this, like the cranes and the ultimate prize which I will not spoil for anybody. There was also a really cool way of putting up the medals.

I loved how this was just so utterly graceful in everything I did. Too bad I did also not know you did not get a medal for beating the game. This had tons of great heart to it and I played it for over and hour and was proud of it! The graphics are fantastic and there is just so much going on with so much detail put into everything! Congradulations on making one of the most fun Newgrounds games, my friend!

[Keep Running Keep Jumping]

Lots of fun

It's a pity that this did not get points for its medals as I could easily see this becoming popular on the website. For people who are always looking for medals (like me) this was a hidden thing to play. It was really cool with how funny the animation was. The guys are basically just heads with stick arms and legs. The best thing is that the premise is so simple and I do not think you can lose simply by going behind. It was also a great idea to have those things that helped you out.

It was cool to just look at them, because they contrasted with the character design. Actually, every design seemed to contrast with itself, even the ledges the player is on. I thought they might have different abilities for each block, but they are apparently just there for show. It is also cool to see the guy drop from Heaven back into the game. This definitley has really good spirit to it.
