Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[IQ Ball]

I know that guy!

It was so cool how you used the purple guy who was in the KingDotCom sponsor icon! This was so easy for the first two levels but the third was simply unbeatable. I have to give you guys credit for creating something that has such cuteness to it. I love the goofy little sound the blob makes when it grabs things. It is a fairly simple game, so there is not much else to say about it except it can get very frustrating. It was so nice of you guys to include the walkthrough throughout, of course.

[Polar Bear Payback]

It works!

I have to praise this because of not just the graphics being good, but for being dang creative. I love how you guys addressed a topic like this and especially with the seals. Tom Fulp, our site's creator got his start by looking at clubbed seals, you know. It was like the screams were trying to imitate Wilhelm screams, but could not quite reach it. I loved the detail put into the polar bear with the blood and the needles in its back. While it can get difficult, it is so worth it to see the exploding flamingos.

[Ownage Burst demo]

I did have fun!

This is an absolutely flawless game because it is just so great in all of its action!! I love how you get to see the bullets leave marks and how I was so wrapped up, I did not even notice that at first! The graphics were flawless and it seems just like something you would have on a Nintendo DS. It is great just to see the guys pop out of the windows or wherever crazy place they are going to be. I am tempted to form more strategies, but just shooting everything that moves is more effective anyway. I can just shoot the windows and cars and watch them all slowly get destroyed!

[Shadez: Black Operations]

Not Boxhead, but awesome

Given the fact that you are known for the ridiculously good "Boxhead" series, you would think it might be hard to work on something different. This is a great example of how you can experiment, especially with something as popular as a defense game. I think what really works is how you can track the enemies that are coming up on the screen. It is always fun to get upgrades and drop bombs and stuff. The best part is probably just sending a ton of guys at one time. I like how the enemies seem to sort of explode when you kill them.

[Fishdom]

Don't call fish "dumb"

This is another great submission from you guys because it does not mess around with trying to be flashy. It even has quite the unique gameplay, specifically with how you have to get rid of the box altogether and not just get it to the bottom or something. The CGI is nice, even if it is just the occasional blue fish in the background. The designs of the little things are well done and everything else. It is a great example of how you can have just a simple game that really exercises your brain after awhile. Judging from this, it is like a more resourceful game to play than others.

[Fish Outta Water]

Not terrible

I guess I am just not in the competitive mood since I got a "D" in my first class this semester. Anyway, there are still good things to say about this, especially the nice graphics. It almost looks like something that Waterman would work on. Now, it was not as enjoyable as the vein of a more classic series like Super Mario Bros, but still pretty fun. I did not expect to get upgrades as the game went on. I like the bosses and although they can be unpredictable, it is actually fairly easy to beat them when you know their strategy.

[LightWing]

I am always a sucker for these games

I like this game a lot mostly because it has pretty much everything you could want in a shooter game at all. I was impressed at the graphics, like how the cartoonish purple attacks stood out with the more realistic ships. It is a pretty hard game, as it can take like 20 of those bombs just to kill the first boss! What really makes this enjoyable is that you simply get so many chances to play the level over and over again. I love how the weapons change, especially the weird green rings. I admired all the creativity put into this.

[Sonic scene creator V.4]

The best scene creator!

Woah, it has been a very long time since I have used a scene creator here on Newgrounds, but this is by far the best of its kind I have ever seen here! There are just so many things to do there are beyond countable! I would have given it a 9 if it had just been Sonic sprites! You really took the time to make everything as authentic as possible and giving us a huge environment to fully capture the spirit of the Sonic games. I love everything about this, like how the little sprites just move by themselves. It also has some of the best sonic music out there and it is something that every Sonic fan must use!!

[GlueFO]

Full of wonder

I love this game because it has one of the most interesting soundtracks in a game like this. It gives off a feeling of excitement and exploration which even works well with the game's theme. I love just going around and collecting the little objects and flinging them around everywhere. The graphics were simple but that did not take away any of the fun. In fact, it seemed to add a more homey and humble feeling to it. You can make something addictive that does not have to have a bunch of flashy stuff.

[PixEvo - The Fountain]

Very nice!

I swear that it was one of the strangest games I played, because I could not even move around and thought it might have been a glitch in the system or something. It was so cool to gain new body parts as you went on to get mor stuff. The style might not have been the most colorful (literally) but it is a great environment to just move around. You would be surprised at how many manuevers you need to get everything to advance. I like the choices of music and how smoothly everything flowed. It almost seems neo-noir.
