Anyhow, it's a neat lil' thing to waste time with, I suppose. The reused Colors and Generations cutscene music seems a lil' odd and makes the whole deal feel just that tad bit more cheaper, but gameplay's pretty much what one'd expect from an on-rails sideview runner, I guess - not in a bad way.

Someone who appreciates this little mobile game exactly for what it is instead of derailing topic into " this game is the exact reason why sonic franchise is shit and I should've stopped caring for it long before"?
Am I sleeping?

People have praised the game for exactly what Herm has said over and over, especially when it first launched. The worldwide release build amped up the game's focus on monetisation tenfold and performance has suffered as a result. The game itself is still loads of fun, but SEGA have gone and put and dampener on the entire experience. You get a lot less bang for your buck, essentially.

Somehow I doubt I'm ever going to get my characters up to Lv100 now. Something I've not seen mentioned yet is that the number of rings to level has been hugely increased, I think to 1.5 times what it used to be, so I ended up spending a whopping 800,000-odd rings getting Classic Sonic to just just 50ish. The idea is that you now earn experience points from the rings you collect when using a character, but they just don't seem to go anywhere. It kinda sucks.

Also just set a new personal best: 19,602,429

The new leveling systme would be fine if the exp rate was much higher, right now after 5 good runs all you are saving is like 10% of the new expensive ring price to level up.

The worst thing is the gimped red ring income, I understand that they want you to buy some but with how the roulette works and the super slim chances of getting the stuff you want they either need to up the reward red rings again or give double what you pay for currently.

If you could get 250 red rings for 0.79p instead of 95 or whatever it is right now I would probably pay a little coin to do so.

My F*** Division is really competitive, like... holy damn. I just had to dump a 10 million point lead on second place to keep them at bay.

There's multiple divisions of the same rank?

For a minute I thought you took the time to jump over me since I had a huge Total Score lead in my F*** division.

All I know is I'm sitting at 77 million overall. Some guy named Aaron (...R-ruby?) is in pursuit, but he's 20 million away from me.

[Ashura96]

Well I guess there are multiples.

I'm leading mine with 44 x million, and leading by 2 million (and counting).

I started over from the beginning, and during one of my first few spins got an RC battleship that increases the chances of Eggman dropping red rings. I got like eight between my last run and the boss (certainly not that lucky every time but the increase is noticeable). I've got a good momentum going here, I'll be able to spin the wheel again with red rings soon, and I'm almost at ten special eggs.

Bosses get pretty annoying later on. Like, I almost just exclusively die for the free Invincibility then pop another when it looks grim. It's a pain to get bonus eggs later.

[KingOfBunnies]

So, a few questions. Is there any way to make the RNG Gods smile upon me so I can get the Death Egg buddy? Also, how do I send lives to people? It's probably obvious and I'm completely missing it, but I can't see it.

Oh man, I'm up to twenty hit Eggman, and when he shoots the spikeballs out it's hard as hell. I can do the spring/drill and floating balls with spinner spikes a bit easier.

Save your rings, and use wisps and invincibility. I use Caliburn to score free hits, and then wizard chao so invincible lasts longer. Too bad Knuckles control sucks too much ass. Not worth the extra bonus with my buddies of choice being power types.

[GeneHF]

Yeah, the one with the missiles and springs is my favorite since I can abuse it hard as Tails. I hate the other two right now. Just too frustrating now to give it a shot.

And as security (and because I have a ton of them) I just kill the bosses off with a Drill.

So, since it's wreaking havoc on my battery life and makes the Nexus 7 run hot, I'm trying to get Runners, erm, running on the Andy emulator. It can't be downloaded from the Play store there, but I was able to install it through Aptoide. However:



It never connects after accepting the EULA.

Don't feel bad, on the newest version of Bluestacks Runners won't even get past the Sega logo screen.

Birthday event prizes are out now. I made top 1000 and got lots of red rings on top of going up to Rank E*.

I got five spins on the roulette and I bet you none of them will net a Classic Sonic
