Review about the v3.0 (last stable release)
Good idea, horrible execution. It is a technically impressive ROM hack, with many custom abilities and characters, and it is cool to control them and their moves, but the level design (most notably, the enemy placement) is just a mess. Thematically, they didn't know what they were doing with each stage, which, by the way, drag a whole lot, having some states that took me up to 8 minutes to complete in a blind gameplay. The enemies hit you all of the time because there are too many of them, and they are in calculated locations to get you, breaking the "speed" of a Sonic game. The platforms and the scenery also want your doom, so you have to walk very slowly through the levels so you don't get hit or fall into a pit and die prematurely. This one is a very famous ROM hack, but I really struggle to understand why.
