So, am I really the only one who had the good sense to savestate on that long runway before the boss? How could you anticipate anything other than bullshit at the end of something like that? I was honestly expecting it to drop me off at the very beginning of the stage.

You might be, but am I the only person who decided to take a savestate of the second time through and just change the X and Y positions in a savestate? Yeah...suck on that

10 Minutes in and I think I trapped myself. Fuck.

[tokumaru]

I think I played it for half an hour and couldn't get to the boss...

So is it possible to actually hit monitors in the wrong order and get stuck? Sometimes it feels like there's no way out.

As far as I know, I did hit every monitor I saw except the one next to the ring box and below an arrow of rings in the hot area since that blocks the path you're supposed to go. Clever. Real clever.

Yeah, near the beginning where there are four or five boxes. I did that first time through >_>. Other than that, I don't think so.

Fucking hate this maze. I suck at mazes. I was playing this since 11pm; was just able to finish it some minutes ago. This is so adictive. This maze is built up so you think you are going through the same place you have been before, when you actually haven't.

Seriously, people. How could anyone do otherwise?

At first, I'll be honest and say that I didn't want to use savestates, so to not ruin my experience, and have some legit challange. But then I had that "lost" feeling, because I was running in circles. So I decided to use savestates to mark my way, much like in the Hansel and Gretel tale, were they layed a trail of white pebbles mark their way in case they got lost, I marked my way using savesates. Eventually, each path decision I took made me feeling that the maze was fucking with me, and that that long path I was going through was actually sending me to nowhere, so I would switch the savestate slot, until I ran out of savestate slots left, and had to deal with one single path at Slot 9.

As soon as I reached the boss arena, I could not expect anything else other than bullshit, so I had my fingers ready at both F5 and F8.


Also, regarding boxes... is there even a way to get that extra life monitor?

[Supakitsune]

I absolutely love this game. It's creative and fun, and it's an interesting spin on Sonic... The kind of game I love to see! Great job, Markey.

And, uh... by the way, how about a music rip of some kind, eh? :P

HAH, you sneaky bastard you =P there originally was a routine to prevent anyone altering the X and Y positions of Sonic in savestate/ram, but it caused a bit of freezing in places and had to be removed...

Nope, it's just there to fuck with your head =P

I'm not sure what you mean, but I posted a list of youtube links to the original tracks where they came from (a few posts back), if that helps.

I think he wants a vgm pack, though I bet it would be huge because of the nature of those songs. Maybe mp3/ogg rips would be more appropriate for this particular hack only.

[MarkeyJester]

Say, just a quick/minor question (Not meaning to go too far off topic), but Tiido has mentioned this on several occasions; how would you all feel if I gave my character it's own game?

[Endri]

I honestly thought it was the entire point of having an original character; to make him star his own game! I was kind of expecting for it.

Jester is so cute and fluffy, I would love if you'd give him his own game. Also I would love if you could come up with an interesting villain...

So I say, and I belive I'm echoing everyone's sentiments when I say, go for it!

[Selbi]

Right now I can't even think of anything better you could do, so how could "No" even be an option? Go for it!

[Andlabs]

Then take andlabs's Challenge: make it a new game written entirely from scratch for the MD =P in b4 oerg866

I hate "trial and error" maze games of this type, but I still enjoyed playing through the whole thing simply to see all of the interesting technical flourishes you've added. I think at one point I walked up and down the same corridor for about five minutes, just because I was trying to work out how you did the background scrolling effect. If anyone reading this is put off trying the hack because of the tedious gameplay, I still recommend giving it a look (and a listen) because the other aspects of the hack are so unique.
