Pantufa the Cat : Extended Edition

Pantufa the Cat : Extended Edition is a joke hack where you play as a Tails recolour.
The main goal is to make a hack that plays and feels like yet another 90's mascot game that's trying to harness the hype of other mascots such as Sonic the Hedgehog.
It is also meant to show that I've improved a lot since the original Sonic hack it was based on, Pantufa the Cat (do not play this unless you love subjecting yourself with more cringe, then again you did click to read a thread about a Fan Character in Sonic 1 hack).

Just look at this garbage!

Alternate Soundtrack :
Holding C before the level loads switches Soundtrack (basically the original OST for Pantufa the Cat (redone)) to give the hack a little bit of variety.

Some changed Graphics :
Because the palette wasn't compatible I reshaded most of the Graphics, except some Scrap Brain Zone objects and Eggman.

Different Jumping Mechanic :
You will only start spinning when falling down, this means you're vulnerable when you start jumping.

Health :
3 Health points and Stackable shields, every 20 Coings heals you.

Planned features:

Spoiler

Float Spin :
Pressing any button while in mid-air make you do a special spin attack that gives you a very faint double jump, giving your jumps a longer horizontal range in exchange of vulnerability while not spinning.

The rest of Pantufa the Cat Remastered :
Give the same treatment as Pipes of Green (Pipe Green Place) got for the other levels.

More playable Characters :
The Character select in the current version was originally meant as a joke, but I do consider adding GuimO and JP Boxart Bubsy.

A Streets of Rage portion :
Yes this wasn't a joke, it will be implemented.

Easter Eggs :
More of them goods.

Just looking at VRAM, I can see there's lots of room for improvement

Known bugs:

Spoiler

-Pressing left and right repeatedly while on certain slopes makes you flip vertically.

-Although there is no pushing animation, the push walk bug is still a thing and has a sillier side effect.

-in Marble Zone act 1, if you do a specific jump to the right in the section with the stomper and the button, you may get the screen to scroll up and softlock the game.

-You don't bounce up something when getting hit while on the ground.

-"Yes - Roundabout" doesn't loop properly, and that's actually unintentionally (just like this typo).

(yay shameless copypaste from SSRG)

 

Oh look, a winter level I may get to finish this year, provided I don't get too distracted with festivities

 

I wanted to get more done than this, but I clearly misjudged my time.

Here's something quick in the meantime

(forgot to add special thanks to Markeyjester, whom helped me with the music)

This Project is now considered Schroedinger's red cat​

Due to lack of feedback and interest (mostly from myself) I have decided to put this hack on hold.
This doesn't mean the project is dead but It's not active either, besides It has hardly moved past last SHC2016's Demo build.
The fact it didn't meet the goal I had set for myself has discouraged me from working on it, and over time progress had slowed down so much that I honestly doubt if it's even worth finishing.
With that said, putting this on hold will yield me more time for other projects I happen to be part of, and these are likely more worth finishing than the garbage I would have added anyway.
In the end, it's one less joke hack for this year's contest and, in a way, it now lives up to it's subtitle!

Since this Project's been put on hold, I thought it would be a good time to share one of the only things that did get progress on: the music
It's really difficult to get any Music feedback and so far only three people were ever helpful.

Track 1
Pipes of Green - That song people thought it was from something but turned out to be a original piece
Track 2
Blocks by the River - More of a Piano test than anything, it's a city setting much like the original's "River City Place"
Track 3
Mount Fade - Some sort of mix between snow and ghost theme'd level
Track 4
Inevitable Machine - a factory like level, nothing to do with the original's "Factory Place" because that was just a SBZ recolour
Bonus Track
Diamond in the Sky - you can never get enough Sonic R​

It's the disassembly of the original, have fun

 

ENTRY PAGE

Here's that rushed DX version of the original

and here's the list of all the things you can do:

Level Select is the Konami code: Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B, Hold A and Press Start, obviously done on the title screen.

There are demo levels for extended edition, Pipes of Green and Mount Fade (Although Pipes of Green is just a Munchy runner ala Mario world hacks).

There are 3 other playstyles, more details in the entry's description.

With the exception of Valley ruins and the Extended edition demo levels, there is a DX act for every stage, change it to Act $03 (Act 4) to play them.

There's about 65+ music entries in the Sound test, most repeated (the original Pantufa OST to compare), "shitposts" or unished tracks and stuff from the past.

Known Bugs and other issues:

This doesn't work on Hardware! - It does, but some models don't work due to the inclusion of the debug register, sorry!

I got stuck on the layout around ... - Complain to me from 6 years ago, layout was NOT the focus as this is just a shitty Sonic after the sequel DX joke hack

Why did the sound go borked and my health messed up? - You're playing a Japanese region genesis/emulator, it's a leftover from the score 1ups from Rev01, it doesn't happen after awhile so feel free to explore any regional differences I added.

Why is the water all messed up? it wasn't like that when I came in - You paused, that upsets the oceans

This is garbage, I'm gonna go play this other hack instead - please do that, It's not worth anyone's time
