Its fine if this is your first hack but if it is not then it is not too great... Anyways the music choice is quite good!
This hack is quite calm, and the music is pleasant to listen to.
The art is sort of mismatched though, and it would be cool to see this being leaned into more with the character sprites, badniks, monitors, etc.
I'd also watch out for level boundary issues; I was on the upper path (in Act 2 I think?) and died via pit, even though the lower path does exist there.
i do like the level art here, i think its cute, and the music here is really nice to listen to,, hower...
the levels are kinda just boring and way too short for their own good, i'd understand if this was your first hack, but maybe try to study sonic level design philosophy, or look at other (good) fangames/romhacks and see what they do right! cuz here its kinda just "straight line zone"
do keep on improving tho! :]
The music is very soothing, a LOT of Straight Line Zone feel for the first two acts. Then there came the "git gud at timed jumps" at act 3 which kinda ruins the mood :D
I don't mind a Sonic Relaxing Edition, but you should consider which direction to give to the design on this hack. Other than that, not bad!
I really dig the visuals here - primarily the animated art. However, the level design was too linear and bland for my liking. Try adding some custom slopes and hills for more flowing level design.
