it was good working for this demo, i really hope this project doesn't get canceled and stays on track
By the way, no one has permission to make a recolor hack of this hack.
О, даров Nik Pi, рад снова тебя видеть
So Tanned Tails was canon...ish :D
I love those "what if" restoration hacks, like if suddenly every crazy design idea turned into a prototype ROM.
Этот хак просто замечателен

The restored levels were pretty fun to play through! I also like the new add bosses to them as well. If there's one critic I have, the collision detection for the boss' projecticles are way too tall and big, but I think that should be easily fixable through the player's collison response routine. I would also like to note that I can see the bottom of the level since the resize routine needs to be adjusted for Jungle Woods act 2 and Sand Shower act 2.
I loved the idea of making a Sonic 2 with the beta elements that were shown over time. I really enjoyed this demo, I really want to see more of the project.
Deep down it's funny because I originally grew up with the Sonic 2 beta, I had one of those pirated cartridges.
Awesome! Keep it up, guys!
Hey, I wasn't credited in because I was helping you with the Metropolis Zone music. Oops, you forgot about it.
I forgot to say, that original wood zone theme made by Sean Evans and Hez. Arranged for this hack by Vertz.

And if you interested, probably, you can call this release as v0.8. Have a nice game!
Btw, if you wanna show on video or on stream only 1 or 2 zones instead playing whole game- you can play wood zone or sand shower cuz it's the newest zones :p
