Sonic the Hedgehog 2: The Return of Dr. Eggman (previously Sonic 2+)

I think you missed the 2nd half of my post - the factory essential would have set up anyone slaving away there for death. Hence the name “Genocide”.

I wasn’t arguing against the concept. That concept art basically proved it, the one with the two titles written on it.

 

Damn -- that actually looks pretty nice. The mountains could use a bit of work though.

 

I could easily imagine EHZ 2 Player music as the background music for that level, depending on how the terrain would look.

 

This looks fantastic, though I think that maybe Emerald Hill Act 2 should be set at evening/sunset, as when it turns to Chemical Plant, it's nighttime

 

The Starry Night music threw me off a bit. That is a very nice night-time palette for Emerald Hill, and I like the background for Rock World a lot. This hack shows lots of promise, keep it up!

 

Maybe find a way to mix up the sand texture, throw in some rocks or maybe ruins sunk in the sand or something to break up the foreground? Otherwise though things look great!

 

I'm not a strong fan of the sand as it is just repeated tiles. Maybe try and spice it up a bit by adding a bit more detail to it such as gold as that is what you can find under the sand.
