Level Descriptions
Act 1 or "Level" - This level consists mainly of basic platforming, puzzles, and enemy combat. You can control how the character moves, but once each "chunk" of the level is offscreen, there's no going back.
Act 2 or "Mach Speed Section" - This level consists of a automatic side-scroller where you can control the vertical movement of the character. The speed will get faster as time progresses. You also are able to attack certain obstacles, which reward you with rings sometimes. Make sure to dodge and attack to be successful. Gameplay is based on that of "Sonic and the Mayhem Master"
(It's a cool game).Act 3 or "Boss Battle" - This level is based on "turn based" (kind of) combat. Dodge the boss's attacks and attack back in between each one. Each boss has different moves and attacks but the basic idea is the same.
Distance, Rings, and Time (and Enemies)
- The Distance Counter represents how far you have gotten in the level. To complete each level you must reach a certain distance.
- The Ring Counter represents how many rings you have. Hitting an enemy, or falling in an endless pit will cause you to lose all your rings. Hitting an obstacle in the Mach Speed Section or Boss Battle will cause you to lose one ring.
- The Time Counter represents how much time it has taken to complete the level. The more time you take, the lower your score will be.
- Enemies are placed in each level, they give a warning before they appear onscreen, and if touched will cause you to lose all your rings. Destroying them increases your score.
- Attack the Boss by either jumping into them when they are not attacking, or use the character's attack (X key). Each hit will deal 10 damage.
- If you see a Chaos Emerald in the bottom right corner of your screen, that means you can use Chaos Control. Press the S button to increase your speed in Act 1 and Boss battles or to slow down obstacles in Act 2. You can only use Chaos Control one time per Act. But if you reach the Game Over screen or fall in a bottomless pit, you may use your Chaos Emerald again. Chaos Control lasts for a few seconds, so be sure to use it wisely.
Some Chapters will include a hub world located in Soleanna. In these Chapters you can play various minigames or find a certain character to proceed in the story. You can walk in either direction and the hub world is entirely randomly generated. Press space to interact with the various characters in the hub world. You can play as any character in the minigames, just press Z to switch.
- Platforming Panic - This minigame is a time attack, where you run through previous parts of levels in one minute. Try to get as far as possible to boost your score.
- Ring Rush - This minigame uses the same controls as the Mach Speed section, except you have to go through the red rings in order to not lose rings. Sometimes rings will appear which you can attack or collect. Try to keep your rings while running at Mach Speeds.
- Battle Simulator - This minigame allows you to battle previous bosses in the game. The only difference is that these bosses have more health and you can use any character you choose.
