Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Underwater Racing]

I thought it was good enough

I don't see why this has such a low score and low average score. Sure, it wasn't the flashiest of games, but it had a lot going towards it. I'm not quite sure how eating hot peppers would make you faster, especially under the ocean, but I still liked this. The characters were drawn nicely and it seemed pretty faithful to the "Finding Nemo" movie. I liked the use of coins and the use of hazards. For some reason, being hit turned it into steaks or something.

[Alien SOS]

Front page?

While I am a bit surprised this made it to the front page, I don't see why the score is so low. I think the graphics are at least decent and so is the gameplay. I admit that it's weird that cats and dogs can kill you, but it does work pretty well for strategy. I recall another game made like this, but I don't want to compare it. It may not have the most creative of settings, but it works for what it's supposed to. If only I could get my control back from this dumb glitch.

[Shapely]

Pretty interesting

I love KingDotCom and it's great to see more of the stuff they make (or sponsor). I didn't quite understand this at first, but I definitley got used to it. This is truly an original idea, as you took the common notion of Tetris and put a great twist on it. I'm not sure how those things pop up, but it's cool to see how they affect the outcome of the game. The graphics are very nice as well, especially with the depth the tiles have. While not one of my favorites, this good enough to recommend.

[Armed Prophet]

Great stuff!

I was amazed at the original animation! It helps that I don't think I've ever played a game (or watched a movie) from you guys, although of course I have heard of HappyHarry. There were indeed a lot of comlicated things going on and it was hard to work the controls (I don't have the best computer anyway). I really have to praise you for all the great designs the monsters and aliens had. It was so satisfying hitting them over and over to finally kill them. It was definitley hard at times, but with hard work, I should be able to take care of that.

[Momentum Missile Mayhem]

Fantastic stuff!

This is the entry that really got me into your work, dz2001. It was at times hard to play, although I'm pretty sure with just another look at the instructions I could do better. It's truly something I have never seen before meaning it's quite creative and has a lot of great designs. The sound was also nice and it was just so satisfying to hit those guys with everything and watch them hit each other. The other entries in this series are great as well. I've played a lot of defense games and this is among the most original!

[Bloons Tower Defense 4]

Fantastic!!

I am a huge fan of these games and I thought there was no way you could make a better one, and you did! All of the effects, animation, and designs are new and improved! This is so addicting as there's so many levels in the first place, it's pretty easy to see how it could be played for a long time. It was also funny to go again with the theme of monkeys. The items used (cannons, boomerang monkeys, etc.) were among the most creative I have ever seen in a defense game! You simply can't stop playing this.

[Rise of Pirates]

Pretty nice!

This wasn't one of my favorite games, but it was pretty good. I couldn't even understand how to work the controls, but yet I still seemed to win at every level I played. I thought the CGI was done very nicely. It's sometimes hard to show that as being well in such a tiny space, but you did it quite well indeed. I liked the purple octopus that appeared in the ocean every now and then. While not the best pirate game I've played (I like pirate games) it was well done enough to recommend.

[Chute Defence]

Great stuff!

I really have no clue how to work this game, but already it's something I like! I could really get into the impressive use of color and the original designs of the aliens and everything else. There was a lot of variety in the enemies and the ways of defeating them as well. There were a lot of buttons to press so there was obviously some effort put into this. I'm glad that I was able to play this on Newgrounds. You had a link to the "Easter Island" game and I think I'm starting to see a pattern here.

[Hot Date]

It was alright

This wasn't one of my favorite games from you, but it had some good featuers. The animation was done very well even if it wasn't on par with a lot of your other stuff. I'm not sure why you included a link to "Life Ark 2" in this, but whatever. The music was pretty nice as well, giving the viewer a feeling of jazz. It was also nice of you to include a walkthrough even though this isn't a very popular game. You at least tried to make something good, and it succeeded all right.
