Ray the Flying Squirrel

Ray the Flying Squirrel v1

I think this mod is really cool! The sprites look amazing (as always), and he's still fun to play around with while still trying to get used to his control.

But I can't lie, I think he may be a bit TOO nerfed here.

I understand why, we don't want him breaking levels like breaking a gram cracker multiple times for funsies, but it's almost impossible to gain any height at all, and when you do, you usually get hit with the decay and lose even more height.

I think you should improve his height gain a little bit at least, to make it easier to use his trademark ability and fly and glide over portions (which is REALLY fun and why the cape powerup and in Mania Plus are like beloved in their respective games), while still requiring skill to actually break levels.

Though, because I haven't used him all that much (I just got trying him out recently of course), this COULD just be me having a skill issue. But regardless, Ray's awesome.

Amazing work Team Combi-Rings!

very good mod but could you have an option to remap his glide Incase keyboard users wanna use shift to glide??

Amazing, I've been needing a new Ray mod because without 3d models the other one I have is just segasonic sprites.

I also love how it controls, it feels like a new twist on the mania style, and it works in 3d so I'm happy.

Also you must have known something I don't, because yesterday I was wanting a new Ray mod

There's nothing to really be said about this. It's just a really awesome Ray mod! I'm glad to finally have an actual Ray mod that isn't that one mod with SegaSonic sprites. Has all the perks of beautiful animations and sprites, and some extra things for those that use BattleMod.

Can't wait to see what you guys are cooking next! Team Hooligan(Bean, Bark, and an upgraded Fang)? IDW characters? Tikal? You guys seem to be going for obscure and/ or non-playable characters, but whichever it'll be, I'll be there!

Beautifully animated sprites with loving attention to detail, moveset is very simple yet tricky to master. He may not be my personal preference but I cherish him a lot and can see myself using him every now and then. Absolutely wonderful work!

Cool since no one else seems to be doing a proper review so far as of writing this, I guess I will then.

-Sprites-

Props to the spriters, I think they did a wonderful job with ray, all of his animations are expressive and fun, and really show off his personality, and I personally think the sprites really carried the whole show. As a spriter myself I will always have respect for mods like these that give the characters a fun personality just by their sprites, and every spriter in the credits should be proud of what they did, clearly there was love and effort put into them.

-Moveset-

This is the major weak point of the mod for me, for one it's just Ray, so like it isn't really anything unique, but that's more of a nitpick. The glide is weird, but once again it's Ray, so yawl really couldn't do much, but the glide doesn't feel as fun to use, especially since you are now in a 3d space compared to 2D. But once again that's more on the devs trying their hardest to be as faithful to the source material. But there is one genuinely bad thing, and that's the wall cling. I genuinely hate how it's a toggle unlike mighty's where you just held the button, and I think it would have made more sense to make it a held thing like Mighty's. Overall the moveset really brought him down a bit.

-Battlemod-

idk i don't play.

-Conclusion-

Ray is a wonderfully animated character that shows off his bubbly personality, and displays a great amount of love and passion put into him, but I cannot justifiably give him a 5 star rating as he is brought down by a move set that is a little clunky to use.

Great work overall tho! I cannot wait to see what else you put out in the future!

Surprised to see something new from you guys so soon. He's definitely a bit tricky to get the hang of, but I'm better you can pull off some crazy stuff with him. Y'all did a fantastic job.
