[Open Assets] Pagoda Park DX + Chair Sonic and Friends

[GrayAngel]

Good to see you've finally managed to master sprites! Though it has its downsides... those floating heads are seriously freaky, haha.

Oh man, a playable Charmy. Let's mix it with the Pets mod and have some fun...

Spoiler

Not related to the level per-se, but I just want to say that the Sonic OVA animation fucking killed me, man.

Oh yeah. I forgot Charmy was in the Pets mod. So this isn't the first Charmy to be modded into the game, but I do think it's the only playable version for 2.2 so far.

Heh, that's the problem of me designing Badniks, i either go for generic soldier robots or with some kind of twisted dark sense of humor.
But yeah, I'll keep the creepy enemies to a minimum in the next pack.
Kinda a bad idea to make enemies into a joke since it isn't funny after you see them over and over again.

If I could suggest, if you want to make enemies into a joke, just make them hidden or one-offs. Could have a running gag for example where a single enemy type can be found in various perilous situations in the background for example.

As for designing badniks, remember that a majority of them are just animal-like object/threatening object with eyes and usually a gun or sawblade. If you struggle, just take a random object or animal that comes to mind, slap some googly eyes on it and make it a bit robotic.

Welcome to releases! Although it feels pretty odd having characters here and not even mentioning them in the title. Also, it seems Chair Sonic has his sideways view sprites on the wrong angles and they need to be flipped around? I also think the enemy hitboxes are awfully wide, as seen by their shadows, you may wanna narrow them some. Still, I love that you actually put in the work to draw badniks and characters in your style just to fit!

Yeah I don't get it either. When I tested Chair sonic whenever I turned right he turned left and when I turned left he turned right. Can someone fix this?

Point was that the Chair is accelerating Sonic, so the chair's pushing in the direction you're going, not Sonic.
Either way, it has been Fixed by Micro, there should be a 1.2 version among the downloads that has the sprites flipped.

Thanks for the review!

No problem.

I don't know why Metal Sonic is missing. He got the same instructions as the other characters. Pfft, rebel.

So I looked into your script. I think Unlockable 2's name should be MetalSonic, not Metal.

Okay, that did not fix it. His actual skin name is metalsonic, so I dunno why he's still rebelling. Looking into the issue...

Aha; found it! It's not the names of the unlockables that are wrong; it's the numbers. You set Unlockable 1 to be Fang, and Unlockable 2 to be Metal Sonic. However, those are not the corresponding Unlockables. Unlockable 1 actually unlocks Record Attack, and Unlockable 2 unlocks Fang. So, you would need to replace 1 with 2, and 2 with 3. Still, If you want to have Record Attack unlocked from the start, be my guest!

Pagoda Park is hard to navigate but i still like the characters

Okay.. so.. after having played the vanilla game & every single 1 of my map add-ons, I finally playing through this with the whole vanilla cast, with sonic & tails both individually & together & with the addon characters that came with this & i'm gonna tell what i like & what i don't like

Likes:

The individual level it's design: I don't have much to say about it but that's better then it sounds, it's just a nice fun traditional level, but i also like the transition into aquarium park & the water slide on was unexpected during the run, but i did like that

The artstyle: Sure the art style is not quite as the vanilla game & it deffinetly doesn't look like it would belong to SRB2, but different artstyles are exactly what i like about it

So the level on just beating it: 9/10

Dislikes:

Metal Sonic not being unlocked from the start: Sure all you need to do is beat black core zone act 3 again which is only 2 minutes at most, but more on that later. It's just a minor annoyance though & i wouldn't retract points for it. But for the unlockable characters, it's better to have them either unlocked from the beginning or have them after either beating the level or getting a certain amount of the add-on's map's emblems

not having the rest of vanilla levels removed: This pretty much ruins the emblem hunt since poeple most likely already got them. Because why do poeple download this add-on? To just play it's own map. For just a run through the level it's not a big deal, but this is gonna make poeple most like not bother with re-unlocking pandora's box which requires all emblems, or just unlocking anything that requires emblema. So it also ruins the emblem hunt

Literally impossible emblems: so Remember the previous dislike making re-unlocking not pandora's worth it & running the emblem hunt. Yeah, given how the time & ring emblems remained the same & how this level is truly impossible to beat in only 30 seconds + that there are only four hidden emblems according to the pause menu & possibly 1 seeming a bug that makes it be already collected while it's actually not, & the staus menu on what you already collect still being 200 while in actuality there are only 199 with the add-on on, it is completely impossible to even unlock pandora's box, making the already completely ruined emblem hunt even more ruïned

so with the emblem hunt, an in vanilla game hours long experience being completely ruined I'm gonna have to retract 1 point in my subjective rating

Final rating: 8/10. It's really good. I'd play through it every now & then, but exept for metal sonic, i can't be bother to unlock anything
