Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

[Communist in Space]

Frigging awesome!!

I had no idea what to expect, but I really loved this game! It may not have had a great design and lots of variation or anything, but it still turned out to be wonderful! I liked how it was so easy to get high ranking medals (ha, ha) and it was just fun to see that doofus get high and down. The graphics were pretty impressive as well. It's pretty easy to play, so it's just something you could get used to easily. The sound at the end (dang, is that classic) was great as well.

[Stick Bang]

Hey, much better!

This is a pretty enjoayble game and one of the best that you released at this time period. I especially like this was an imitation of a genre that I'm really a big fan of. The selection of guys to throw against the giant (which is pretty original) was also a nice touch. It was a little hard to understand the controls, but I learned to get used to it. I played this just now and was very happy to suddenly beat the level! The color work was nice, and while not the most enjoyable of games, definitley a good concept.

[FWG Pursuit]

This was okay

I'm not a fan of driving games, or at least not ones that are taken at this angle. The graphics weren't too shabby, but it was a bit hard to understand the controls. It seemed at times like the car was moving in the opposite (or at least the wrong) direction it was supposed to. I'm a good driver in the real world, but these games don't do much for me. Still, it wasn't particuarly awful and it was just meant to be something brief and fun. Not one of your strongest, but not a terrible game.

[Shipping Blox]

Good enough

I like freeworldgroup a lot, and I think this does a good job at showing how the work varies. It didn't have the greatest graphics, but it really wasn't supposed to. It was just supposed to be a simple game that could be used to pass time. I couldn't really figure out where the boat stopped and you could lose crates. It was a bit interesting to see the crane move back and drop boxes. I guess you could call me a fan (although not a big one) of these kinds of games.
