That and the Sonic the Hedgehog movie/OVA

[@kaijionline]

There was a 2d fan-game that had the same art style. I forgot the name but they had a feature where you can spin dash in mid-air and basically blast yourself at enemies like Angry Birds

Yeah sonic riders did that.

[@_whocaresyt_]

This is what a Sonic game should be like

[@SuperSonicMan2265]

Exactly what I'm thinking! I would love it if official Sonic games were made like this! This game feels like it was actually made with love and care by the developer(s) when it was being made even if it is still a demo.

The freeform wall jumping is the kinda gimmick a sonic game actually needs, not just endless railgrinding or freakin Wisp mario powerups.

[@ZealGames]

3:00 3:18 😮 That free fall has so much style.

[@iggystarman8009]

This has got to be the cleanest, most high quality and baller-ass fan game of Sonic I have ever seen. Ain't EVER see him give off THAT much attitude since Urkle SAT AM, or CD. Hell, I'd say he has even more style and attitude now than ever before. PLEASE make this a Staple in the community. Full Version, own engine, whatever's needed, this has GOT to be finished. Much Love!~

[@8bitlee858]

You know the ost is lit when the menu music goes extremely hardcore!

[@TurtleWaveZ]

The glowing walls to indicate where you can wall jump reminds me of a perfect innovation on the bounce pads from Sonic Adventure. You took the shiny orange jump pads and made the entire surface jumpable with that orange glow to indicate that mechanic.

[@Light-Rock97]

If Sega didn't try to reinvent the wheel every time and did modest iterations on previous ideas, they could have arrived in a place like this.

[@TurtleWaveZ]

That’s why I’m excited to see them still iterating on the boost formula they started in 2008. They’ve stuck with it and I think it’s a pretty good formula when done right. They’ve been making great iterations to it also.

[@Weredah]

Sonic Utopia used to be my favorite Junio Sonic like experience but this just takes it to a whole nother level!!

[@numbuh1507]

I see that they have incorporated the "cheated angle" style of the Sonic CD intro on Sonic's spikes.

[@selassieaspen9940]

Greatest thing about Sonic The Hedgehog is heart and charm. Some games have a bit more than others. You can see it the animations for this just like in Unleashed with the various homing attacks animations. Or how Sonic stumbles if you tilt the control stick, when on the rails. You see heart when he goes outta his way to save someone. Like in the story books or Sonic Colors a alien race.

[@raiseasato]

This feels like a natural evolution of the Adventure formula. I love it sm.

[@BUNGET21]

For anyone asking where this game is, or how to play it (because the majority have now) It's explained in the first 20 seconds of the video. 👍

[@Tozito911]

@@Sabien lol wtf, youtube deleted my comment describing how to play it.

[@ajhintleman215]

I absolutely love this game's style, I think the only thing I'm not a huge fan of is the floaty "moon gravity" sonic has when in the air. Something I'd consider would be to make it so gravity is MUCH stronger (at least at the peak of the jump maybe) or cause his ascent and descent to be faster and more punctual when just going off jumps so you're not stuck in these awkward mid-air situations where you can literally turn all the way around which just feels kind of strange and not as impactful to me. However, I'm not saying any air-play should go away, I think this is an opportunity to make the cool optional wall-jump mechanic actually a really fun mobility option. Like the way you have sonic sort of dash off the wall looks really nice, but it feels pointless since you can just jump off a ramp and float around to the same area without any real issue, and just makes the wallhopping feel kind of pointless. I say this from a place of absolute love, because I feel like every single sonic fan-game suffers from the same issue of sonic being way too mobile/floaty in the air (which is the result of the speed we want him to have, understandably), and I've yet to see it implemented in a way that doesn't just feel...awkward?...and I'd really love to see these games thrive. Again, this looks amazing, and I'm not a game dev. I'm just saying this from the PoV of someone who really wants to enjoy this kind of game, as a huge SA2 enjoyer. Maybe it could be fixed as simply as implementing some sort of ground stomp/bounce bracelet you can use to ground sonic faster? I'd say something like give the player less freedom of movement mid-air, but that might just be too limiting for what your image of the game is. Just thought I'd stop by and spit-ball some ideas and concerns I have, as well as to let you know I'm looking forward to where this goes in the future!

[@alexr1592]

This looks visually amazing! And it looks like it plays well too! Personally, I've never been a fan of just running around for no reason in a game, so I probably would only enjoy it one time, but it's still great work to see

[@BUNGET21]

This video is just a showcase of what's to come as it's a final demo of the full project! Later releases will more likely have content focused on giving the player more goals than just "Go fast", so hopefully that'll give some sort of replayability to it too.

[@voltage1552]

You aren’t just running around tho it’s a stage with a beginning and an end.

[@Connector7th]

It was a blast to play. Never felt Sonic do 3d well since Unleashed.

[@Tyelkormoko]

The aniomations and presentation is incredible. This looks so polished and the loop de loops, boosts and everything looks even better than most 3d Sonic games. Big ups for you mate

[@Degalon]

I didn't even know Dreams could do stuff like this. This is both awesome and depressing that its only in Dreams and not a standalone thing.

[@Supersonic6427]

Damn, Sonic games on Dreams still going hard

[@SpoonTaco]

The level design is insane and should honestly be what a real open zone sonic game should be

[@Degalon]

Thats why Frontiers annoyed me so much, they didn't even bother designing a map for Sonic to run around it, it was just an empty sandbox.

[@GuiltlessGear]

That's goddamned right

[@orcastrike7750]

For real. If they wanted good level design for Frontiers they should’ve got some people who’ve worked on the level design for the Skate franchise - people who know how to make an open world environment that you can have a lot of fun with using the core game mechanics

[@GuiltlessGear]

@@orcastrike7750 bro turning free roam sonic levels into skate parks was so goddamned obvious im retroactively mad at the devs for not coming up with it themselves

[@MKfan888]

Idk how to explain it or put it into words very well but this little fanmade game just has some sort of special ingredient that Sonic games have been lacking for a very very long time.

[@UnNotAnon]

You should be able to wall run up the rock formations like he does in the Sonic CD intro. He does a sort of spiral up one of them before he smashes through that rock.

[@E.G.G.M.A.N.x]

This is so well made for dreams, impressive

[@kennymarotta9924]

Wow really impressive ive never paid much attention to 3D sonic fan projects but this really comes close to something ive always wanted to see. Keep it up! Going with the inspiration from the anime movie makes this special imo

[@meliodas2667]

This is literally the best dreams game I've ever seen, it looks super fun

[@amerikdoesmedia]

This is an absolute treasure for the artistic side of Sonic, especially the music!! This is something I haven’t seen anyone specifically point out in the comments, but if you listen to the soundtrack, the music gains depth and a fast drum beat whenever the player is maintaining speed. You can tell by when the player speeds up from after getting hit or clipping on a rock, when Sonic speeds back up and the little “Yeeeeeeee haw!!” sound plays, the music picks back up! The dynamic music adds so much charm and life to the game in its whole!!

[@hollowedboi5937]

Making green hills a better playground than most of the games, having the highlight for wall jump be orange to contrast the hedgehog blue, the enemies matching sonic’s speed and coming from behind instead of standing still in front of you, the swagger of animations and bumpin’ music, it’s all so amazing.

[@neurogenesis9179]

The play mechanics is very consistent and I love the fact that theres complete control of his actions and especially the sense of speed. Cuz i felt like Frontiers lacked a sense of speed slightly. Its a delicate balance but this was very exciting, and i did nit know it was fan made till i played the entire vid from start to finish
