i could say that it hasn't disappointed me but I was really expecting much more, some visual aspects and ehz layout could be improved

Thanks for the feedback! We are currently working on updating the art and a few other things for a patch that is soon to be released. Please note that this demo is rather outdated by now.

Hey, I just noticed something, when I entered Cyber City in the Level Select, it was a glitchy mess!

Small heads up, the vanilla S2 cheats are not disabled and very much so not "developer only"

ChiliHog @ 2025-10-05 06:42:13

We are aware of this. The "DEVELOPER ONLY" text is a leftover from when we weren't going to include the level select.

So far the changes are so subtle and minimal that might as well be playing vanilla Sonic 2.

BUT! There are still details to look at, if you pay attention, from some new sprites for monitors to Tails being drunk (!!?) at Casino Night Zone :D

really nice art! I also like the palette changes!

Pretty bare at the moment, but I really enjoy the visual changes. Gives Sonic 2 some distinct visual identity that, in my opinion, it was kind of lacking in compared to its predecessor. And that song for Oil Ocean... Just marvelous.

My only gripes (read: nitpicks) are that Emerald Hill Zone sounds a little weird, and that I question the use of the prototype layouts for that zone. Feels kind of unnecessary.
