Bug (Android Samsung Galaxy S2): Marble Zone Act 1: When playing as Sonic + Tails, the block you are supposed to push to raise the platform with spikes on the bottom to advance spawned underneath the platform. Walking back a bit and coming back respawned it in the correct place. I guess it would make sense to use Tails as that block if there were a second controller to pick up, but since this is a phone I'm counting this as a bug.

I'm curious if anyone else has encountered this?

Edit 2: Well, good(bad?) to know I'm not the only one. XD

Because it's such an easy fix, it's more funny than game breaking but I imagine that confusing newbies.

iPhone 5

I beat the game with knuckles today, but in the credits cut scene where the character is sucked down the underwater passage onto the grab bars, knuckles will let go and die on spikes, repeating the scene until you force quit the app. My save still says knuckles on final zone so no idea if it classed as beating the game with him or not.

If you keep bouncing on enemies or monitors you will slowly lose bounce height over time, this doesn't happen in the original. Good example is starlight zone act 1, drill through the wall to the 4 hidden monitors, you can never bounce combo enough to get back out and have to use a spring.

Yeah, this was already fixed with the Android release, iOS will be fixed soon.

I think people are getting confused here. The bouncing works in Sonic games like this:

- Y Velocity is flipped on colliding for the bounce, but if you jump and let go of the button the jump height cap will affect the bounce height. Rolling into the air will also avoid the jump height cap.

[Diablohead]

I just don't remember each bounce making sonic lose height over time even with jump held down, but it happens in your version, it's by only a few pixels but enough to not make it back to the ledge from which I started at the right height. I'd have to go check.

I would suggest an option to change languages, Android version from russian Google Play force you to use russian translation, which is kinda strange to see. I had never seen a translation beyond manual in a Sonic game. And I love to play games in original language, but thats just me.

Only 2 things I noticed so far that I haven't seen mentioned elsewhere:

I've had the 1-UP jingle cut off on me several times, usually by what sounds like another sound effect. It happens rather infrequently but enough to be noticeable. The music is quiet for about 3 seconds each time.

When grabbing the power sneakers in GHZ3 and defeating Eggman, the GHZ music that returns is permanently fast, which is odd as the power sneakers are no longer in effect.

Apart from those, and some of the other things that others have mentioned (which I have noticed also), it's an incredibly solid Sonic 1 port and I love it.

Using an ASUS Transformer Prime TF201

I found out on my Android if you take away focus from the app then go back to it, it will pause the game. Every time. So if I'm on a demo scene, title screen, end credits or whatever, I'll get the pause menu.

I think when the app loses focus it causes the sound to make static noises sometimes. One time after a ring jingle would play, I'd get a short static noise. There was another time where my jumps were mostly replaced with static noises too.

EDIT: Suggestions - Change that ugly ass Knuckles title screen sprite... it just doesn't match Sonic or Tails' title screen graphics. AND please make Knuckles + Tails a possiblity to play as.

I'd say Tails' sprite doesn't match Sonic's either, since he looks way too small next to him... Seeing those redrawn with Sonic 1 proportions would be swell.

I didn't manage to take a screenshot of this bug but here goes:

In Act 3 of Spring Yard Zone, right near the boss arena, the three or four left-to-right columns that you need to traverse to get over to the fight... Well, if you fall below the first one there's a little platform to save you. Nothing new there... However, if you jump off that platform and wedge inbetween the bottom square of the column, and the wall... You would expect to get crushed, right? Not so. The column pushes you into the wall. You can escape, so it's only a minor nitpick but I thought I'd throw a contribution in.

I love that functionality for Wii remotes were added, but would it be possible to have the on-screen controller vanish when controllers are detected?

Taxman, should I PM you a logcat of the game crashing? I really would love to play this on my X10 Mini but as it stands I can't.

Right now I narrowed the crashing down to the game loading a stage, if I select a new game and select a character, the screen fades to black and then crashes but it still autosaves, if I pick the saved game it loads the GHZ title card, then it either crashes or does nothing.

When I press the menu button while playing, the game stops moving, but the menu doesn't pop up until I touch the screen again.
