this is the "secret", not sure if all of you will understand but it's a hidden power up.

Spoiler

still in development

thanks again for all the support, really
I did really got the feedback from last year's release of BTS and I'm really trying to make it even better

btw, I've made some kind of question in the post with the trailer, not sure if anyone noticed it so I'm quoting it

btw, this fan game happens right after sonic 2 I just forgot to remove the jet booster on the tornado and also, there is something that is bugging me a bit about sonic 2's ending, I've checked the wiki but I've found no answer: in WFZ, after you beat the boss and get to the cutscene, the tornado is with the jet booster, but in the ending, the jet booster isnt there anymore,(a lot of people think that sonic 3 starts right after sonic 2 because of this) was that intentional or somekind of glitch? oh well, I'll be removing it from the title screen on the next build

What I love about the gimmicks (which are numerous and look fun to play with not just an object that gets in your way) is that they are so simple, for example a giant spring - such an obvious gimmick when you think of it, but I haven't seen it - though I cant say for sure it's not been done in some form - and yet you'd it makes perfect sense and glad this game is designed in such a way where it has gimmicks that are not complicated or gameplay changing such as platforms that appear and disappear in a storm, and put them to such good effect. Really loving everything I see from this topic.

[Mr Lange]

Here comes Mr Lange with his own music for ATS. I think Falk is going to be remixing these to keep the musical style consistent across the soundtrack. I can't wait for that. This is my only music contribution so far, the rest is still Falk's original work. However that basically means these original, Genesis-ish style versions will go unheard. So here they are.

Damn, Lake Fepard. I love the sheer ecclectic-ness of your levels.

Your graphics are so much richer than a straightforward 'this is an ice stage' or 'here's the de facto green-hill-zone'.

I imagine I would take real pleasure in being like 'where did that water come from?' and 'why is everything upside down?'

It's more lifelike that way. At least, life as I experience it.

Wow. I didn't realize there was a thread and a playable demo for this game until about half an hour ago. LakeFepard, you are amazing. I just played through the demo, and watched the trailer and this is leaps and bounds ahead of BTS. The badniks are better designed, although in the demo they seem to be largely monochromatic; for example, the flying Motobugs are all shades of blue, the Buzzer missles are all red, but I really love the little spinning guys. And little animals come out of the robots when they're destroyed. That's fantastic, and a much clearer link to the classic games. There's a better sense of contrast amongst the level graphics, so the progression through the stage makes more sense now. Lastly, I quite like the ability to play as Tails in the same levels as Sonic. It makes the zone layouts seem larger, and more interactive, although you accomplished that pretty well in BTS with the character specific zones, too. Keep up the good work, and I look forward to playing more!

Australian?

Mr. Lange, I swear I'm never going to get those songs out of my head, at least for a few days. xD They're that cool. I just hope the remixes keep it that way.

[diplomacydog]

ahh your work is so good

[synchronizer]

What aspects of Lange's tunes are everyone's favorites?

LakeFeperd, this shit is solid, man. No joke. The level designs, the music... can't really say on layouts yet, but aesthetically, it's all very pleasing. Sugar Hill and the green forest one, not the one with the tech trees. These levels look good because the way you've designed them, they look "full". But there's also clarity, it's not a jumbled mess of detail. Can't wait to see where this goes.

Welp, so much for that shield only being gettable for Tails

oh man, it's just awesome when people discover things I didnt even know about
like this guy

oh, btw, there are some more secrets: you can press R to switch between sonic and tails
and there is a super box in Act 2
there is also that wierd shield, but I really don't know what I'm going to do with it

I love the gimmicks and if your engine is as good as it looks, this'll be a contender for best of show for SAGE this year (especially with a variety of highly ambitious projects recently falling apart). The only thing I could possibly want to see is more "scripted" events, like the the flying battery fortress bomibing in S&K or Angel Island being set ablaze in Sonic 3. MUCH MUCH praise to your excellent level design. The doodads and flair that you've added to your levels REALLY stands out and makes a HUGE difference. You've crossed the barrier threshold between sub-standard fan games and something really special. I really want to see where this project goes and how it progresses. Also, very nice use of your sprite frames. Keep it up, I have very high expectations for your project.

Oh shit I thought that was totally intentional and really clever design. Using the ramp as a boost to stick to the wall on the way up...oh well. You going to do anything with design like that?

Lake: so good that he made skillshot secrets without intending to.
