You guys did it again! On last version, all levels were great, but ERZ was clearly above all on them on level design. Now all the acts have ERZ quality, so the game is really awesome!!
It´s fun how I get lost everytime there´s something new in a level. Surprised just with the little changes on GFZ (I loled hard when I saw the 1up after the bridge changed for a 10 rings monitor). Basically most outdated bits have been improved. THZ was literally AWESOME, it was the first big surprise on the game. THZ1 was a lot better, but I couldn´t believe what I was playing at THZ2... It´s a totally better level, and the old one wasn´t that bad at all.
DSZ was a lot better and less boring than in the previous release, and ECZ was even better than DSZ. The small changes on ACZ and RVZ are a bir improvement too, and ERZ is better too (although much more annoying thanks to those f***ing snails :@). ERZ3 is an awesome surprise, although I haven´t managed to finish it yet. Literally got crushed lots of times until I ran out of lives and continues (BTW, the new lives/continues system is a lot better). I´ll keep trying until I manage to beat ERZ3.
Special Stages are a lot more fun, although the ones I´ve played are too easy (1-4). I know how to play Nights, but I still think they are easy. I don´t care much though, as classic Sonic games had easy Special Stages except one or two brutal ones in each game. Hard Special Stages started to show up on Advance games. I´m not focusing on the emeralds yet (I didn´t even search for already known tokens in many levels), as I want to enjoy the main stages first.
Badniks and bosses are the biggest improvement of all I´ve seen, though. Badniks are really different from one zone to another, and all have different gimmicks (in fact, the only badnik I feel needs improvement is the egg lancer one on ECZ, too awesome but too easy to kill). Bosses are a lot better too. GFZ one was a nice surprise. DSZ trolled me a lot until I found out what I had to do... Really got annoyed and I lost like 6+ lives easily. ECZ one is awesome too, although I don´t get why there is a hanging chain under the boss when it´s clearly easier to use the other one on the stage... Haven´t seen everything on ERZ, but I like what I´ve seen too.
Lastly, the game looks a lot better. The sky on THZ for example is awesome, and there are lot of places which actually look awesome. I wanted to hard to try all the acts that I barely stopped for anything in each one, but you managed to make me stop quite some times just to enjoy the environment.
IMO, this improves the last release even more than the last improved the previous one. Awesome job! I´ll keep playing and replaying the game for quite some time, this game has an awesome level design. Thanks again for keeping on working on this game!!
