Anyone else find this game to be a bit... inconsistent? Here we have an overpowered Sonic (why is Sonic overpowered? Because that's the only way that this game can be any different than the other million fangames!) blasting through some overwhelming levels and bosses (why are they overwhelming? Because Sonic is overpowered!), and this supposed to be challenging? More like frustrating. From what I can tell, the player had to memorize this game to pieces just to beat it.

Now this is what I like to see in a Sonic hack -- somebody does something with the available resources that genuinely hasn't been done before. Impressive. Might have to give this one a spin.
Not too surprised that you can play so well since you are one of the creators of this hack, heh.
Still, great playthrough though. I have been playing this for about a month and it's only recently that I have started to not resort to savestates to assist me. I probably will never play as well as you, though - I'm more of an explorer-type Sonic player.
@GordieKat I'm glad it does not. It's even more frantic that you have a chance to save yourself from the fire while it sucks up your rings. Having it be an insta-kill is something overdone and kind of a dry concept in Sonic games.
I've seen him do this. I know that's not exactly proof but I mean, come on - playtesting basically daily for thrree years, you get pretty good. It doesn't need showing off, it speaks for itself.
I'm not familiar with the TASing scene. We both have played this hack to death since we playtested everything ourselves. If it was a TAS he'd just say TAS. It isn't. Imagine everytime you want to playtest the boss, you have to run through the level. Imagine how quick you'd become. He could do this in his sleep.
I just played this earlier today. What took you a little over 7 minutes to do took me a little over an hour. I love it though. The frenzied panic that third act gives you can actually make you sweat.
Wow I just realized no wonder this game is called sonic boom sonic breaks past 800mph in this game! XD Love the ending too sonic boom! Sonic boom! Remember kids he makes it LOOk easy! XD Good work this game is amazing!Though im not a fan of dark themed stages! XD Im to oldschool...
The level design had an incredible balance between difficulty, fluidity, and hazards. This is really spectacular, especially for this being coded by knowledge that was almost purely reverse engineered, *and* was written in assembly.
Excellent job, guys. WOULD DO BUSINESS AGAIN A+++++++++
Holy shit that was epic. Definitely a promising look at the future of Sonic hacking! I laughed a bit when I saw the door and rotating platform included in the "cast of characters". I disagree with the idea that the level design was "meh", but there is always room for improvement IMO.

swordsandtequila 2 years ago
I guess.
But when you watch as many TASes as I do, you can't help but to notice things like high efficiency.
I even had other TAS buddies think the non-boss parts = TAS, just from the overall efficiency of play, you know.
It does make sense know that I know how long he's been play testing.
It's just that you know how entertainment sections on TASes are.
And what I saw in that video just screamed "Entertainment TAS!"
GoldenHeartNeko 2 years ago
I'm not familiar with the TASing scene. We both have played this hack to death since we playtested everything ourselves. If it was a TAS he'd just say TAS. It isn't. Imagine everytime you want to playtest the boss, you have to run through the level. Imagine how quick you'd become. He could do this in his sleep.

kso what exactly at 5:25 makes you think this is tool assisted?
I recorded until I made a 'perfect' run, even so - the bosses could be better.
If you really want we can netplay and I can show you this in realtime
snkenjoi 2 years ago
Nah. It's alright man. I'll take your word for it. No need to prove yourself to a random someone commenting on your vids. :V
I thought 5:25 was tool assisted because it's a common entertainment maneuver in certain TASes to graze death, usually by a few frames. You know?
I did not mean to offend or annoy, and if I have, then I apologize.
