This game is really really good and although i don't consider it a "mobile" game (because you can play apple arcade in other devices besides a mobile phone) most of the negatives i have with this game exist because it was designed so it can work well in mobile devices, so it has some limitations, also people need to stop shitting on apple/sega for the exclusivity, apple IS THE REASON this game exists in the first place, you rather have no game at all because you can't play it? lmao
Besides the community is so talented that it wouldn't surprise me if they ended up remaking, porting or decompiling the game so it can work on pc like they did with project-06.

The animation in this game is wonderful, the characters look really cute and fluid, it can look awkward sometimes but those are really small moments, when the cutscenes are fully animated is when they shine so whenever the game starts using slides and static pictures for the cutscenes is really boring in comparison, at least they are better than the ones in generations 3d lol.

The controls are fine, i still think frontiers has better control and movement especially in platforming, but the level design complements the movement options you have really well, i think the game is lacking from a stomp/bounce attack because falling sometimes feels slow and i don't like losing the rhythm/momentum i have, also people seem to complain about the knuckles/rouge glide? the glide is fine, you're supposed to glide in pretty much straight lines and the level design is made so you can do it in straight lines, is not like sa2 where you had more mobility because the game expected you to move around all over the place to explore (sam really exaggerated that shit when he was playing lmao).

The music was good, i don't know if it was just me but the music was really low when i was playing so i couldn't focus on it that much, but i would say that this is tee lopes weakest soundtrack, there's nothing really THAT memorable in the game except maybe the final boss music, but is far from mediocre, i would say that probably sonic runners had a better ost than dream team.

I also saw a few people saying that this is how sonic is supposed to look in aesthetics? but i doubt that, because this is just lost world's aesthetics, sure they are better executed and a little less saturated in colors but they are pretty similar, and most people didn't liked how lost world looked so i don't trust that statement lmao, this aesthetic felt a more like "classic sonic" than "modern sonic" to me, not that modern sonic shouldn't look like that but this is far from my "perfect sonic aesthetic" lol.

The gameplay and level design were really good but i'm not a fan of the mission style levels like in sonic colors where the levels end up being really short, except the ones when you need to finish before the time limit, those work perfectly, the wall running was awkward sometimes because the camera changed positions quickly and disoriented me, the multiple characters returning in "duos" reminded me of sonic advance 3 and i love that and how they use them in the final boss, even though it was really easy and kind of underwhelming lol.

I have lots of thoughts on this game so i'll stop writing already, but in conclusion this game is really good, really fun and really worth it to play if you can, just borrow an apple device and try the free month of apple arcade and you'll be able to beat it, is really short (and that's another negative lol).

In my opinion the perfect sonic game would be the fusion of sonic frontiers and sonic dream team, using the strengths of both games, and for that reason i love both of these games : )))))
