I may be slightly biased here, but I love this engine so much. It has been expanding and changing for the better over the time I have been using it. This latest demo features some cool parallax effects, fun level design and an inspiring boss. And the best part? You can use this as a stepping stone to make your own game! Whether you are interested in level design, reskinning or even scripting itself, this engine provides a beginner friendly learning tool that has been very helpful for myself
 
I'm pretty sure I could recognize every different element in those levels as coming from specific Sonic zones, but even so, it's always a pleasure to see so many more interactive things than just springs and rings, even under the thin totally-not-Sonic veneer. I took a glance at the editor documentation but I'm not a big fan of the giant 128x128 blocks or learning another scripting language when time-tested stuff like AngelScript or Lua or even Python already exist. But the playable experience in this demo is just fine, there are a lot of branching paths and stuff. Maybe too many automated sections. The plug theme is cute. Pretty good stuff.
