In the whole of my time with it, I failed at git gud, utterly and miserably, and had to debug-skip two bosses just to get far enough to feel comfortable writing this. I’ve seen the Game Over screen quite often. It’s a challenge of maintaining focus on multiple parts of the screen and knowing how to react. The background itself has hazards, from floors that discharge electricity at regular intervals, to lightning strikes that chase your cursor. Boss fights get even crazier, such as a security computer that spews 1s and 0s and demands you solve a pattern to identify which is the right target.īut you don’t have the luxury of learning only one set of patterns. In another, a cannon spewed a steady stream of red bullets, until it fired a glowing bullet that I volleyed back. In one fight, I dodged (and frequently failed to dodge) sparks that spawned behind me, as a robot lightbulb charged massive red blasts. This build doesn’t have a wide variety of enemies, but each have wildly different attack patterns. While you wait for your opening, the world is constantly throwing obstacles at you. Sonic can then use part or all of his bar to heal, gain a stat boost, or go on the offensive. When the enemy’s bar fills completely, they overheat, leaving them open to attack. As Sonic dodges enemy fire, bars behind both Sonic and the enemy fill up.
Amy, offscreen, shoots down red projectiles with the mouse crosshair for defense and chip damage. Sonic stands on one side of the battle field, jumping and double-jumping to dodge enemy attacks via the WASD controls. So then why does this game have me borderline hyperventilating?īecause eventually an enemy battle kicks in, and it turns out this is some sort of jacked up Mario & Luigi RPG using mouse and keyboard. The writing’s not bad, but I stumbled through a number of typos. Sonic acts as your avatar in an overworld swapping between top-down and side-scrolling. The duo of Private Detective Amy and her assistant Sonic respond to a job to repair the computer systems of a robotics company, and are thrown into intrigue and danger after uncovering a robot conspiracy. It claims inspiration from the Storybook series ( Secret Rings and Black Knight), but it only manifests insomuch as the main characters happen to be blue and pink hedgehogs, and one of them spins into a ball when he jumps. Sonic and the Mayhem Master is barely a fan game. I didn’t catch this game at previous SAGE years, but this might be my most anticipated project since a darling demo by the name Freedom Planet. It’s a fascinating one, but it’s a weird one, and I think I love what it wants to be, but perhaps not what it is right now, but also it’s still pretty great, but it’s really difficult, but– I like this game? I think? Okay, this is a weird one.
