Sonic 2K6 2D - The Last/Lost Version

You could've just explained that this was an effort to convert Nextgen into a good 2D game instead of a bad 3D one. :P

+ - but then the 'Sonic's only good in 2D' would rise, so I see why that road wouldn't be taken  

 

It's an okay remake, my only disappointment is that the loading times were not faithful to the original game.

 

I remember this!

I had no hopes for Sonic 2006, and for some reason after playing the original version of this, I was hyped. ..Bastard! :P

In all seriousness though, this is weird. It's fun but it doesn't really play like a 2D Sonic game, it really does feel more like 3D Sonic in 2D, although that's probably (almost certainly) the intention. Wish you were finishing this up, I just played it with my 360-PC pad and had more fun with it in 20 minutes than I did with Sonic 2006 at all !

Cutscene was sort of cool too, the only thing I could suggest if you were to make changes (which I don't think you are) would be to use the audio from the 3D cutscene and remove the text-boxes. Well, either that or put the cutscene in a window and make it super pixelated ala. Sonic CD's opening on the hardware.

 

I love the development in this game, nicely done

 

Ok so I figured out how to change the control settings by pressing ctrl+y in the settings menu. BUT, after I change everything and then save I try to play the game with my changed control settings and it reverts back to the default settings.

How can I change it so it stays at the control settings I want it?

 

Its ok, because I found a work-around!

Turns out the same option for the settings in settings.exe is in the game as well. pressing ctrl+y sends you to the change controls screen. But its not a permanent fix as the settings go back to default everytime you close the screen. but it works while your playing and thats good enough for me.

Again, great fangame and I'am sad that you are no longer are continuing it I think this one fangame could've out-trumped all of sonic2k6.

Ever thought of just making this open source?

 

I seriously cannot believe that people use ctrl, alt or space for legitimate main game controls. Z X C V are all readily available and won't be bad based on what kind of keyboard you have (My ctrl key sticks if you push it on the side, the space bar hardly presses on the sides).

 

The art looks very nice and an excellent recreation, but why the advance sprite? god I really hate the advance sprites.

 

They're really really really tiny for the screen resolution you have.

(oh and this was pretty fun. But levels were rather short though, particularly White Acropolis. But I enjoyed having control over the snowboard, unlike Sonic 3)

It's a shame you won't finish this, I don't have an HD console and would love to play a finished version of 06.

 

If there were upscaled versions of the Advanced sprites, that would be absolute awesome.

Also, your character animations are poetry in motion. Beautiful, beautiful.

 

Now that the Sonic Cycle is dead, I propose a new universal law to Sonic fandom:

No fan game or hack will ever be finished, period, no exceptions. Let's give it a creative name =D

Sonic Classic is going to be finished soon....
