Fuck yes ! S2D! I cant believe that this got another update after all these years! Epic stuff, and with that said... *goes to play it whole...again*

[Ryuki]

Hey man, amazing to see you still working on this; I remember downloading this years ago, along with ESEII when I had just discovered a rom hacking community actually existed. (This is going back what,4, 5? ...6 Years? Possibly more?)

So far it's amazing, familiar but with that strange 'undiscovered build' of Sonic 2 feel to it; which I love.
The only problem I encountered was when playing as Knuckles & Tails in Winter Hill, Knuckles couldn't attack the boss; only Tails could make contact. (I imagine Sonic can, I didn't have a lot of time to play.)

Can anybody recreate this? Or did I just do something to break it without knowing?

[Ravenfreak]

I see you didn't fix the spindash bug in GHZ. xP (If you spindash too fast through the S loops, the player dies because of the bottom boundary not updating accordingly.) That's the only bug I've spotted.

[Skaarg]

Was not expecting to see this come back again. Was actually going through some old hacks in a folder the other day and played version 0.20. Awesome work though, I'll have to give it a proper play sometime this weekend.

There is a bug with the ARZ boss... that causes the animals to look all red and fiery. This is a rare bug, and the fix, I do believe... is documented in the Sonic 2 Heroes thread. Not a big deal but might wanna fix it.

It's caused when you get the timing on the last hit of the boss just right.

I Will change this to be more easy to defeat, but is possible to defeat with Knuckles jumping in to Boss while he is above the lava.

Thanks, I will fix this.

Another bug is if Knuckles lands on an object after gliding, he cannot glide again until he touches the floor.

Yea, not your fault. It's the boss's hitbox. It's not easy/possible for Knuckles to hit it. I managed to beat him with Knuckles (w/ Tails), but it takes precision timing.

I just found a bug. I'm going through the third Special Stage, trying to get the Emerald, and read that the last number of needed Rings is 110. The actual required number is 160. I went through there with 157 Rings, thinking I was doing well, saw that it said I needed 3 more, thought it was a typo or something, and didn't get the Emerald.

EDIT: Nevermind. I feel rather stupid now. After trying it again, I realized that I simply failed to see the second checkpoint. My fault, disregard my post.

Nice update Esreal. Keep up the good work.

On Dust Hill, I managed to hit a Speed Sneakers monitor, an Invincibility monitor, and another Speed Sneakers monitor, all before the first one wore off. While all this was going on, I hit the end of the level. Is the end of level jingle supposed to spaz out at this point, or is it something fixable?

EDIT: Found another bug. In Labyrinth Zone - Act 2, there are two water "slides" right off the bat, separated by a red spring. If you don't use the spring for momentum, the second water slide will actually carry you back uphill.

This bug still exists. I noticed it in the ARZ boss. Haven't tried SCZ as well, but if its in one its in the other.

At the Labyrinth Zone act 3 the bar grips, when you're sucked into the tube when the door opens isn't ported correctly.

After finishing Neo Green Hill Zone I got to Star Light Zone. Then I restarted the game and at the save screen it said "ZONE 13", and when I selected it, I got to Dust Hill Zone, not to Star Light Zone. EDIT: When I finished Act 1 of Dust Hill Zone, it saved, so basically I made a jump back to "ZONE 5".


I might fully debug this once I finished this game.

EDIT2: In Labyrinth Zone act 1 at the secret path, there's an odd placed ring.

EDIT3: When I finished Casino Night act 1, saved and resetted, the save screen shows "ZONE 10" and leads me to Emerald Hill Zone. You really should consider fixing the order.
