General Information
Sonic the Hedgehog - Blasting Adventure is a remake of three unlicensed games by Makon Soft/Yong Yong, Sonic 3D Blast 5 (GB), Sonic Adventure 7 (GBC) and Sonic Adventure 8 (GBC). Developed with Game Maker 8, it's a PC exclusive.
It was born from an idea I had in 2009, in which I recreated the Ending theme from Sonic Adventure 7. In 2014, I began to learn more about game development in a college. And using what I learn plus a Game Maker Sonic tutorial, I developed a Sonic Engine.
Initially, this game was going to be called Sonic Blast Adventure (Sonic 3D BLAST 5, Sonic ADVENTURE 7/8). Eventually the "Blast" was replaced with "Blasting", since there was already a fan game with this name.
Different from the unlicensed games, in which only Sonic is playable and Robotnik appears only in the goal post, here you can choose between Sonic, Tails and Knuckles, and Robotnik is the final boss. The graphics, sound effects, soundtrack and controls were all redone, based on Sonic's 8-bit games.
How to play:
F4 - Toggle Full Screen/WindowedArrow keys - Move
Z - Jump
X (while jumping) - Insta Shield (Sonic), Fly (Tails) and Glide (Knuckles).
Down Arrow + Z - Spindash
The package includes JoyToKey, since I couldn't implement joystick buttons in the project.
Even if the game is short, it has much more content in comparison with its "original" counterparts. I'm not the best game developer ever, but I've put all my effort in it.
