This entire thing was one extremely fun experience !! :D
I was having fun n blasting through things at blazing speeds and it was fairly easy to pick up despite my rustiness with Modern Sonic.
All of the stages in this mod look INSANELY pretty, and it feels like so much passion and love for the game went into them. Probably my favourite looking stage in the mod is Deep Sea Zone. I love how the colour palette swaps to a more subdued greyscale-ish when inside of the temples, it was so damn cool !!
However, I do have some constructive criticism. Castle Eggman has a very sudden "introduction" to the Light Speed Dash mechanic which was not warned about in the slightest that tripped me up severely. And in Blue Mountain Zone, there were several cheap shots that in my view serve only to interrupt the flow of the stage. Given how high the ceilings were in a few of the areas with dropping lava geysers, it would be nearly impossible to pay full attention to those at such high speeds. And the lava for some reason also has a "Goop" flag set which, if fallen into from even slightly higher than normal distances are an insta-kill. The placement and sheer number of the Unidus enemies makes homing attacking anything damn near impossible due to how the homing attack works. It comes off slightly sloppy in my view, but literally all of this complaining could be mitigated if I just memorized the stage and enemy layouts.
Other than this, amazing mod, it's SUPER fun to play and I'll DEFINITELY be coming back to it to try and get better !! ^-^
