Wow. This is a pleasant suprise. Thanks Nua.
*Downloads*
WOW! Looks just as fast and frantic as Advance, and seems to flow like a dream. Only worry is the level design from that viewpoint seems too "Run to the right"
Still. I'm happy so far biggrin

Samwise Chubb Wow. This is a pleasant suprise. Thanks Nua. *Downloads* WOW! Looks just as fast and frantic as Advance, and seems to flow like a dream. Only worry is the level design from that viewpoint seems too "Run to the right" Still. I'm happy so far biggrin If it wasn't for the eye candy, I'd say that it looked pretty much like a copy of the original Sonic Advance engine to me. And being able to just stick a brick on the right-hand button of the d-pad (unless you were hunting special stage rings) was the major flaw of the first two games as far as I was concerned.

ChibiMaryn The link's not working for me crying Are you trying to download it directly to your desktop or play it as-is? Either way, have you any kind of firewall or pop-up blocker installed?

Boss fight footage. The 2.5d really shines here, showing that the camera does move about (at least, during a boss fight it does)
Imagining "double the danger" boss fights, with this format is making me grin.
Note that the boss is very much like Egg Viper.

Let's bear in mind the games have always had run-right sections. It's just a matter of whether they break them up properly.

Xagarath Ankor Let's bear in mind the games have always had run-right sections. It's just a matter of whether they break them up properly. Indeed. There's a difference between having to run left-to-right, and the sort of game where you could just stick a brick on the d-pad's right-hand button whilst you make the tea.

Like Sonic Advance 2, for instance. (Coughs)

Yeah, I know. That's why I want levels to be like Marble or Chemical Plant zones. Sure the exit is on the right, but there's alot of going up and down, left and right to get there.
It feels like they've been too lazy to make any detailed and mazed maps since about Chaotix. Even S3&K shows signs of them not really bothering to pad out the map (but, S3&K had HUGE maps in the first place, so it didn't really matter. Either way, you're not finishing in less than 2 minutes)
Sonic Advance 3 was a return of decent level design. Let's just hope the quality stays up.

I never took to that style of level...

That actually having to slow down, keep your eyes open and think ahead a little was something that's been missing from the franchise since somewhere around S3&K.

Suppose so, but I would've thought that'd apply to the first two Acts as well. Them I really liked.
