The 'art' is weird and the layout stops after few chunks.

I think this is the only zone I liked in this entire game. Even if the only way to get to the level select is placed in this layoutless AIZ.īefore visiting 'Windows'/Launch Base Zone, I wanted to visit the other levels.

I feel that reserving other projects for later and focusing on one or two things at a time can allow you to put more time and effort in whatever you're working on.Īs soon as I start the game, instead of being taken to 'Windows' Zone, I meet this.Ī player should not have to use the level select just to visit a level. You could also find another concept for a hack that you could work better with because I feel that making things look like an operating system doesn't fit a Sonic game nor does it allow for many creative ideas.Įdit: You stated that you are working on multiple projects at once. Try to figure out how to work with the palette cycle and background deformation and figure out how you can improve your art. My recommendation is to restart the project and start experimenting more with what can be done in the game. The second stage, which you can access by resetting the game, looks a bit better artistically, tough still very repetitive, but the level design is unfinished. The special stage music is a lot better, though the ring collection sound overrides the drums. The music in the first level is very repetitive gets annoying quickly. And don't get me started on the section where you have to fly/glide over a bottom less pit with monitors that hurt you in the way. Even then, there are enemies in the way that you have to be lucky to avoid as Knuckles. The level design lacks anything interesting such as ramps and consists of long stretches with enemies in the way and repetitive platforming over bottomless pits that is impossible unless you use Knuckles' or Tails' abilities. When playing as Knuckles, you can see Launch Base Zone's background on the side. Additionally, the priority of some walls alternates and there are unnecessary palette cycles. The art styles seems too simplistic to fit in a Sonic game and lacks a background.

This hack is more frustrating and boring than anything else.
