This game is honestly a lot of fun! It is so inspired by Sonic that the small idiosyncrasies threw me off a little bit, but I got used to it quick. The level design is great along with all of the mechanics, only big complaint is that I feel like enemies should sporadically drop health. There's one later on that does, and it's just confusing to me why that wasn't the case for more enemies.
But the music is incredible, the levels are all fun, and the bosses are cool as hell. Big recommend. 10/10

An excellent 2D sidescroller merging elements of classic 16-bit titles like Sonic, Rocket Knight, and Ristar depending on which character you play as, typically doing everything better than those games. Great sprite art and environments with a decent story and voice acting.

Amazing game. A bit short, if you don't want to do all the achievements at least.
But the story, gameplay, voice acting, characters, art style, music, they are all worth it.
The game is just good. I recommend it.

this is easily on of the best 2D fast paced platformer ever made !
my on criticism is that the time attack\level select mode kinda bad it does not work like real TAM and when u restart the level it sends you back from ur last checkpoint not from the beginning of the level

For a game that only costs $15, this really is a neat project. From the pixel art to the soundtrack, this game really is an A-tier in my book. For the levels, what I really like about them is how they're not some multiple passage maze-like nonsense that sonic mania has. They're all pretty simple and it really is recommended considering most people don't like replaying the same single player platformer game. Unless they just got nothing better to do.

Another thing that I like is how you have health in this game. Like you can get hit multiple times and still be alive. Now, you could say, "Oh, but you can do that in sonic mania. Just collect a coin after you get hit." And yeah, that is true, but if you get unlucky, you might not GET a coin back. Especially if they fall into the void. Like I prefer the fixed amount of hits I can take rather than having to hope that I can grab one of my coins in order to take another hit. And yeah, you may have less invulnerability frames than sonic mania does but that makes sense considering you have tons of health. But nonetheless, it's better than having to chase after 1 single coin.

Another thing that this game does better than sonic mania is how you don't get hit just for simply touching an enemy. I really don't know why this still exists today. I mean, I understand in the arcade days, you gotta make people die a lot more to make them pay for the arcade machines. But in today's day and age, this mechanic is so unnecessary. Like seriously, you should not get hit just for simply touching an enemy or by passing right by them. Like oh my goodness. But yeah, props to GalaxyTrail for not implementing that and ACTUALLY giving the enemies an attack animation rather than just, "oh, you touched this guy? Get hit." 'cause that mechanic is so cancerous like oh my goodness.

Now, with everything that I have pointed out on what this game does better than sonic mania, I know some guy is probably gonna come in here and say, "Oh but you need to collect 200 crystals in order to get an extra life, rather than 100 coins in sonic mania." And while that is true, lives don't really matter in this game 'cause once you get put into that "continue?" screen, you can just simply press, "yes" and continue from your last checkpoint with 5 extra lives. Also, another thing, I like this game's continue screen. It looks really cool and the music really fits the atmosphere of it. Very impressive.

But yeah, I could go on & on and praise this game day & night, but I think you get the idea. This game is so much better than sonic mania. Especially with the amazing pixel art, the music, great gameplay, no woke nonsense, heck, they actually added male & female bathrooms in this, cool bosses, great worldbuilding and story for that matter, 3 characters you can play with that have different move-sets and cutscenes, great achievements, all for just $15 (and sometimes put it on SALE for 50% off???)? This game deserves higher praise man. Like seriously, bless these devs for publishing an amazing game with bugs that can only occur if you intentionally find a complex way to make them happen. Like the speedrunners do. But all in all, 10/10. Definitely deserves Overwhelmingly Positive reviews. Most definitely deserves it.

P.S. I like Torque's, "Thank you." near the end there. Sounds veryyy... charming.
