Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Toytown Tower Defense]

Too addictive

Probably the only reason I am giving this such a high score is because this game is so blasted addictive! I have no idea how to advance as more of these guys keep on coming and coming! It is definitley a great game because it has some of the most impressive graphics I have seen in a defense game! The designs for each of the enemies is simply fantastic and so well detailed. There are so many things to do, should I add more things or upgrade the things I already have? It can be both good and bad with how there is such a long way to go.

The best thing about that is that it gives you lots of room to put towers. The worst part is that you have to wait awhile, but of course you can always just speed up the game. Seeing as how there are a lot of toys, it's understandable to see how there could be so many designs. This is DEFINITLEY a defense game on steroids. As one who is a huge fan, this is one of the best I have ever played.

[Zoo Escape 2]

Good to see you on the front page

The people at freeworldgroup make a lot of geniunely good games. It is sometimes hard to notice the progress you guys have made seeing as how you all have so many submissions. This is a great example of how you can become popular. As for the game itself, it was good if a little too cute. I guess I have become too cynical as a song as cheerful as "Candy Zoo" seems a bit annoying to me. The best thing about this game is that it was made with real heart.

I seem to be having a bit of a problem as I keep clicking the cage and it's only after like five clicks it works. I probably read the instructions wrong. The animation was good and I can now recognize the graphics you guys work on. It is too bad those stars are usually too hard for me to get. While certainly a long game, it's fun most of the way.

[Super PSTW Action RPG]

I understand

Now I truly realize what you meant when you created your "Dot Dot Dot" cartoon. I will be much kinder on you and realize that this was supposed to be a joke and not taken seriously. There are tons of other joke games out there that are just lame. I was glad you had the decency to put in that good voice acting not to mention a ton of good songs. I doubt you can really lose in this game as it is supposed to be really easy. Even for a joke game, the animation was actually not half bad.

I have never really been a fan of RPGs as they always seemed to be too complicated for me. I guess that this could have used more work (or maybe some medals). The thing I enjoyed was that it was just so easy for me to go on. You deserve all these reviews for making something significant to the website, if nothing else. Maybe you could try to put the pixels at higher resolution.

[Age of Defense 3: Preview]

Looks great

It is hard to judge a preview, especially a preview for a game as you are not doing anything. Well, this was kind of an interactive trailer as you were able to advance onto the other side of the screen. This looks to be more of the same, only even better. Most sequels try to top what the previous one did by adding more stuff. That sometimes doesn't work for movies, but it definitley works for Newgrounds games! I am going to assume that this simply goes on forever as that is what it seems.

The coolest thing about this is probably how you are going to be able to send your own men out. It probably would have been a little better if you had shown the instructions, but still a great trailer. Actually, it is not really a trailer as I believe it is different every time you play it. The colors are done really well and all of the monsters are very well designed. Let us hope that this is the best game in the series yet!

[BubbleLand]

Probably your best game yet

I was easily reminded of the "Bubble Trouble" game by MiniClip and while this was not as good, still decent. I am now starting to get used that drink logo appearing at the beginning. I suggest that you put a little more detail like maybe having more things going on in the background. The artwork for this was still decent and I really liked how you could get used to the gameplay. The best tip for playing this is to immediately launch the rope when a bubble comes near.

In the latter levels, there are so many it is actually difficult to launch a rope anywhere without not hitting a bubble. The premise may be a bit too simple, but it still works. Hey, I'm a good gamer and I managed to die a lot of times. It was interesting how you put it a more child-like feeling to it with the teddy bears. I'm glad to be a review above Coop.

Thank you for that review and the nice words :)

[Ice Rink]

Decent game

I was confused by the gameplay at first because I thought you were on something vertical. I thought you were supposed to dig through the ice or something, but then I realized it was shot from the top. This was a decent game and it is too bad you did not get points with your medals. It is entirely harmless and the best thing about it is probably the artwork. While it is not the most detailed thing, it's still nice to look at. Something weird happened to me on the first level as I did not have to go back to the hole to finish it.

Now, the detail could use some more work with there being more things around. I guess they would, in theory, be obstacles but it would look a little nicer. The music is pretty cheery as well. Ice is never good with me and it was a little frustrating with how you could so easily avoid the goals. This does, however, manage to improve if you take your time.

[Alice in Spaceland 3]

Twas different

This was cool to play because it was a very original game. The only problem is that it seems to go on a bit too long and there is not too much to offer in terms of gameplay. It's definitley the first game where I had to actually shoot the arrows. I thought they were there to show me where I was supposed to go at first! It reminded me of Alice in Wonderland, not just because of the title but because it was really weird. I am not a big enough fan of "Touhou" to understand this really well.

The animation is decent and the best would probably be when the ship explodes. Too bad you have to die to see that good bit of animation. Anyways, the designs of the enemies were really cool and it was strange to think that this was in space. IT looked more like it was on a picnic cloth or something. I almost want to continue because there was so much music in this I wanted to hear all of it!

[Sonic MatchIt Memory Game]

Lots of fun

I am not usually interested in match and memory games (probably because there are so few of these games on the website). I was also a bit scared when the screen was so big. Thank you for making it easier with not every single thing being different. I loved this because it was so amazingly basic yet lots of fun. This is the kind of game where you are eager to keep going because it gets easier as more things are eliminated. I felt it was a great Sonic tribute as well.

Many people say the Sonic games have gone downfall since it went 3D, so it's great to see references to the classic games. These designs are simply classic and so are the characters. It seems like they were just never used very well. The music was also classic and it is nice that you wanted to make a tribute to the old style. Now, it could have been a bit more detailed but other than that, great.

[SpaceMadness]

Nice score

This was a decent game to play and I was initially disappointed that you could not fire anything. I was quite delighted to find out that there were enemies to shoot at. It seemed a bit annoying with how easy it was to die. I mean, if I moved my ship just a little bit to the left or right when I was on the platform, I would blow up. The good still outweighs the bad, because the music suits the theme and the graphics are good. The way the picture is so big is quite different but still works out well.

It seems like the big picture exists for the purpose of giving the player more room. You are allowed to see what you can not get into. The fact that the ship is small does makes it more difficult than usual to get killed by running into stuff. When I play spaceship games, I usually expect it to be where you go forward all the time. It was at least nice to be able to try something different.
