Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Jewel search]

Pretty good game

I have seen a lot of games like this, but I liked this more than some others because it was more creative. It is also a game that is fairly easy to understand and you can beat easily. The designs for all of the different jewels is very cool and original. It is the best example of how this game has good graphics, even if there are not many graphics besides those jewels. The music was pretty good, even if it did get a little irritating after awhile. This was a harmless game that had enough interesting things in it to like.

[Maus Trap]

Better than you would think

Terry Paton, you always know how to make good stuff especially when it comes to underrated stuff. I liked playing this game a lot, because it was just so simple. It still saves everything I have played after all this time, and I can go wherever I want even if I have not beaten the level! I actually got a really high ranking on this (#3 for the day) although that could be more to the fact that few people seem to play it. It is interesting to see how coordinated you can get with this game. The #2 was 11,000 and the #1 was 102,000!

[Galaxy Gems]

Gotta love those gems

I have played many a game similar to this, but this was still quite fun to play, simply because these kinds of games are good. I again can not believe that my data has been saved when I first played this game back in 2009! My biggest complaint is that you have to click between the gems to progress further in the game. It actually does require more strategy the more you play it. I guess it is kind of unique for a game of its kind. I can just get frustrated and click anywhere on the blocks to try to get ahead.

[Vector Defender.]

Give this a chance!

I think this is one of the better games that you have made, because it tries to be different than what you usually do. I was interested simply when you show all those crazy vector planets. I like how you can get more points by hitting more things with one ball. The designs are interesting and especially the diversity of the enemies. It seems like a good example of what you can do when you try something different. Even the little effects with the blastings and the guys falling down is cool.

[Treasure Caves 2]

Cute

I really liked playing this game as that energetic little Kirby thing. Even when I come back to play it after all this time, it still has all of my data saved! I liked the graphics that were used in this, particularly the unique design of all the gems and things you collected. I can not believe that you literally made dozens of levels on just one game! It has a lot of interesting gameplay, which is inevitable as the games goes on. I also think the music is pretty neat and gives off a feel of wonder and adventure.

[Xmas Cannon]

Yep, late

I have seen all of your games on your website before they were submitted here, so I had played this before. This was a pretty good addition to your many series, as it was pleasant. Granted, it would have been nicer if you could specify which houses you already went to. I was surprised at how tough this turned out to be. I liked the 3D representation of the cannon, but I think that made it harder than most games like this would be. The graphics used in this are really cute and homey looking.

[Heads : Avatar maker]

Not terrible

I think this was one of the lesser things you made, maybe due to the fact that it had no sound. I mean, it just seems kind of weird to lack that seeing as how you are one of the most prolific audio guys on this website! I guess it was pretty interesting to see all the different designs. This is worth opening up just for me to find out the exact number of combinations that you can make. I seriously wish that I was that good or that devoted to math. The way the combinations were presented was cool too.

[FWG Island]

Very good

I could not help but be reminded of the caveman Oogtar from the Super Mario World cartoon. I really liked how the design in this was so simplistic, but it worked really well. It is in fact different than any defense game I have ever played. You do not have any fancy guys to summon and it is taken from a different point of view. It is definitley the first game I ever played where guys coming in boats building things were actually the enemy. It is also just fun to just have that little guy swing his axe over and over.

[The Final Death Wish]

Final Death Wish?

I like this game a lot, because it is really cool with how you are able to just shoot these guys over and over. I guess the idea is really creative, especially with how the guy thinks his Jesus and that guy's God. I imagine that some good things would indeed come from the Recycle Bin. I will say that the one thing you could have improved on this was being able to crotch down. Those little beetle things would not have much of a chance to hit you if you could do that. The music is also nice.

Arkuni responds:

The music is awesome! Thanks a lot to Kimken for making it!

[Valentine Smoochie]

Happy Tree Friends!

It is sad how MondoMiniShows did not submit more of their awesome HTF cartoons to Newgrounds. I am at least glad we have these classic smoochies to cherish forever here! I love how these little care bears are so easy to kill. You could push them onto a lawn with nothing but grass and they would find a way to explode. While it might not be a game in the most traditional sense, it does let you kill these guys. I like the use of the smaller screen and how it makes the action seem even cuter and gorier.
