i got softlocked by a spring lol
Old Sonic World engine physics make this one real hard to go back to, but it deserves it's due for setting a new standard for Sonic fan games. Hoping someone makes a remake of this or smth.
(Play via Before the Sequel Plus)
You can definitely see it's age in a lot of places, mainly regarding the cutscenes, clashing sprites and in some instances level design with the long stretches in which you do nothing but hold forwards, but it's still very, very enjoyable nonetheless and has stood the test of time in comparison to most other Sonic fan games around this time. Also the soundtrack alone earns it an extra star because like holy fuck.

Esperava muito mais, músicas muito boas, tanto na versão plus tanto a versão original, história legal e gráficos muito bonitos.
O level design só piora com o passar das fases, de divertidas e criativas para repetitivas e maçantes. Algumas fases são especialmente frustrantes e a reta final são muito irritantes, como o segundo ato da Death Egg não ter checkpoints, valeu a experiência mas não me vejo rejogando no futuro. Um absoluto MID

BTS is definitely a game that shows its age, especially getting to the later end of the game, but aside that, is a great game nonetheless, with phenomenal music that too this day amazed me.
I can't wait to check out ATS, especially the DX version.

Whilst this game isn't the best complete fan game you can play (even it's own sequel is better) it is still well worth your time.
What I like most about this one is the way where you switch between Sonic and Tails per Zone. This allows for levels that take advantage of Tails abilities as they don't need to accommodate Sonic.
My biggest gripe is that the physics are a little bit off. Most notably when you hit a badniks from below as you will be shot towards the ground suddenly, this was still catching me out at the end of the game.

Level design meio kekw
The music is bangin and switching between Sonic and Tails every Zone is cool, but this game is held together by used tape and a belt that's too loose. Stuff just doesn't work right sometimes. Few things are as scary as the drowning music playing after you leave the water. It doesn't control quite how 2D Sonic should, he's a little too heavy, but it works fine for these levels.
Si no te completas el juego en 2 horas sacas el final malo
10/10 game design

The actual game aspect of Before the Sequel is extremely jank, especially in 2021, but you had to be there back in 2012, being wowed by how professional the soundtrack was, being compelled to learn how to write music as good as this soundtrack
Eight years later, and I'm still nowhere close.

Honestamente a física do jogo é horrível (culpa da engine obviamente). Mas todo o resto é muito bem executado, fora o Level Design que mais pro fim do jogo é bem ruimzinho. Apesar disso tudo, a música é mais do que perfeita.

My memory of this one is quite vague, but I remember finding it very fun! If a tad basic.
I should definitely give it a re-play

A decent attempt at a sonic fan game but the physics are juuust off enough for it to be annoying. Soundtrack is INSANE though.
Pretty alright, it's aged poorly in a few spots, but it's still fun overall.
The Sonic levels are far better than the Tails levels, as the Tails levels are slower-paced.
I dislike life systems when I have to restart an act. I hate them when you have to restart a zone... as you do in this game... ugh.
The level design falls into the trap of being too gimmicky at points, but it can still offer a good mix of platforming and speed.
I enjoyed it a bit more on the second playthrough, almost enough to boost it a point, but not quite enough.
There are no Special Stages, only Bonus ones for extra lives (which are called special anyway lol).
The OST is awesome, and the visuals are nothing to scoff at either.
I didn't mind playing through a second time so I could go fast enough for the good ending!
What really sucks is that there's no definitive way to play this one, especially on Steam Deck where Plus is the only way to have cutscenes (and they're far worse than the original).

Sonic Before the Sequel est un épisode non officiel dont la chronologie se trouve entre Sonic 1 et Sonic 2 de la Megadrive. Il raconte la rencontre de Sonic et Tails, entre autres. Le jeu a assez mal vieilli et dispose de plusieurs défauts, mais globalement c'est un jeu de très bonne facture et qui est tout à fait comparable avec la plupart des jeux officiels.
yea it's p cool. level designs a bit weird sometimes but yea it's p cool
por mais que o level design não seja lá essas coisas, acho que o resto compensa e é sim um bom jogo.
man idk this games designed like ass and also the game crashed after beating the first zone, if it didnt have such good art and music this would be complete trash.
doesn't play as well as a sonic game aught to but it does have some really amazing music to justify its existence
