Oh, also the UI automatically detects use on a non-touch screen platform (I.e. Android TV) and adjusts the game accordingly. The Lives icon will go back to the original left bottom corner and there's no need to turn off the virtual dpad.

Please, please tell me this will be possible to implement in Sonic CD at some point - love the extra fixes etc. in the mobile versions, but can't stand the virtual d-Pad, and in SCD there's no menu option to turn it off manually as far as I can see. = (

A work around for Sonic CD is connecting a keyboard and pressing the space bar to hide the onscreen controls. Also Taxman said that the next update will hide the onscreen controls when a button is pressed.

I've updated Sonic 2 and it now works on my phone. Thanks Taxman.

Sonic 1 has also received an update.

Amazing news - sounds great. = ) Looking forward to the update and finally being able to enjoy this version of Sonic CD without onscreen controls! = D

Also glad Sonic 1 & 2 have been updated to fix the issues they were having with starting up - once I'm less busy again, I need to do a marathon through the remastered versions of all 3 games...!

Can anyone tell me how to update the app? My Play Store sure doesn't let me update it. What gives?

I have an Xperia Play which is much older and runs 2.3. The remaster plays perfectly on that (well it did till the Google Play issue, but like Taxman said a fix is coming soon).

Good to hear, time to bust out the ol' XPlay and buy Sonic 2, now that the update is out. I'll also have to replay Sonic CD while I have it out.

Will the amazon app store version be updated? It has been stuck at version 3.0.2 for a long time

I hope so. It's also crashing on achievements (at least on a Fire stick, I haven't tried on a standard Fire TV or Kindle Fire).

I'd like some help with this too.

When you open the Play store app, it should just appear in the Updates tab. If it doesn't, search for the App in the Play Store and click on the update button. If there is no update button, then it means something has gone wrong on your device, so uninstall and reinstall making sure to reboot the phone after the uninstall.

Back up your data before uninstalling. You should just be able to copy it from the SD card, but the fool proof way is to purchase Titanium Backup, which is a really useful backing up Apps (it's only a couple of dollars)

Titanium backup requires a rooted device. If the phone isn't rooted, just resort to backing up the SD card data.

Successfully updated and hooray it works! Using a Z3 Compact running Android 5.0 for reference. Previous builds failed to launch so thank you Taxman. I used the level select cheat thinking I could jump straight to Hidden Palace zone but when trying to access the zone I get an error sound. I take it this is intentional? Is it possible to access the zone via Mystic Cave Act 2 if you just jump to the level via the level select or do you have to play through the entire game before being allowed to access the level?

I know this sounds insignificant but I was really looking forward to playing the zone. Any assistance would be appreciated.

EDIT: Nevermind. Accessed Mystic Cave zone Act 2 via the level select and then jumped down the bottomless spike pit and hoorah Hidden Palace zone! Excellent work there Taxman. It's such a wonderfully designed zone that's easily on par with the other zones if not an accurate representation of what the zone would have been like in the real game. Feels like playing a part of gaming history. Such a fantastic idea to include the zone in the re-release. Excellent work.

I'd just start a save file and play up until you reach Hidden Palace Zone via Mystic Cave Zone Act 2. If you do that, you'll unlock a Time Attack version of the level and you can play it as many times as you'd like then.

Good to know! As I wrote in my edited post I managed to access the level but your idea sounds much better. I'll give your idea a shot. Thanks.

Still doesn't work for me. I have no update feature in Play Store for Sonic 1 or 2. Sonic 1 is stuck on 2.0.4 version and Sonic 2 just keeps crashing. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling them with the backed up save file after rebooting the phone but that did nothing. Am I doing something wrong?

EDIT: I've managed to find an updated APK file of Sonic 2 and that solved it. Unfortunately I still can't update Sonic 1.
