Do you want to play a new sonic on your GBA?

why are the first acts the only ones that are identical to the original?

 

Because I didn't want to do a complete remake :P
And only the GHZ act 1 is identical. ARZ act 1 is different (altrough the start and the ending are similar)

 

I'll test this on the real hardware and get back to ya.
Not that a GBA flash card is anything impressive.

Works excellent. My only comlaint is that deceleration needs to be tighter, but that's far outweighed by my praises.

Excellent level design! Not only the parts that are recreated (first act of GHZ, parts or ARZ), but also the custom parts are wuite fun to play through.
I like the small sprites a lot. It's hard to judge distances already given the GBA's screen size.
You got the background effects down perfect.
Sonic 3 sprites = YES.

I'm so amazed by this project. You sirs, win at life.

 

Finally got to check it out.

NICE. The physics engine is lacking a bit, but you've got it down.

The music is good quality, though you should implement a looping system similar to ADX. I'd suggest the SA2 GHZ remake theme for GHZ rather than the original.

Art is flawless, and you've got the scrolling down. Keep it up.

 

The music is surprisingly good. What music engine did you use? AAS? Krawall? or did you write your own? (in my experience Krawall isn't all that great, but maybe there's something special you've done to it, lol)

 

I use my own sound engine
But it's not as good as that, because I use an ADPCM variant, which takes a lot of room. Moreover, it's why the ROM is so big...
Thank you all for your comments

 

Absolutly brilliant.

 

The only beef I have is the stopping, everything else=WOW!

 

I'll give this a blast on my GBA again later =P

Heh, ADPCM. Good quality, though.

 

The perfection of some parts of this project (backgrounds, ARZ boss) is just too much!

 

Aw crap. How come? ;_;

 

=O Explain!

 

A few minor things :
when you jump, sonic's sprite always faces right - it should change depending on which way sonic is facing.

Sonic lacks stopping sprites

The physics are slightly off. Still very impressive however. You have topped 90% of the fangames out there in physics alone.

 

Heh, didn't that happen in Chaotix as well?

 

Good luck in your studies. My mother studied medicine in college when I was little - its NOT an easy course.

 

Just tested, no such thing happens in Chaotix, thankfully.

 

I only hit the first boss one time and he was destroyed...bug or not?
I also miss the "look-up" and "look-down" features and the real spindash :P
But everything else rules! Keep up the good work, guys. :worship:

 

Agreed. Good luck on your medical studies Phoebius.
