Sonic 1: Egg Factory (Sonic 1 Hack)

Amazing. I'm really happy I see a hack with music, bosses and art not imported or remixed from other games or other creations but it's a original stuff made by creators of this hack. I hope in future it turns into full hack, but even in this state this is beautiful work. Congratulations.

 

Damn! I recorded the russian version already xD But ok, i will throw the link to English Version in Description.

To the hack - it was awesome. Thats what we need - more custom BOSSES. If i could code one i would code one. xD

 

The only problem I got with this is that the level transitions don't reset the timer. It's really frustrating to have time as an enemy, just because I didn't know the game would be one continuous stage when I first opened it up and decided to explore the stages thoroughly instead of rushing through it.

I actually died by Time Over on the very last boss, right after the final bomb hit the pillar. But – and I think this is an oversight – the timer didn't stop then, as it would with any normal boss fight after the last hit, continued on to 9:59, and made me die at what I would later realize was actually just two seconds away from the Sega Screen.

That's a real bummer, and I hope that gets fixed soon.


Otherwise, really neat and polished hack! Especially like the bosses. They are a prime example of how you can make fun, original, and challenging bosses without relying on over-the-top difficulty to sell them (Cybernetic Outbreak, you earned that bad reputation rightfully I'm afraid).

Rather abrupt ending, I'm afraid. Even a little screen with the main credits or something would've been nice instead of immediately going back to the Sega Screen, but that's just nitpicking.

 

Just got around trying this myself. this was very well made indeed. the layouts, the music, the art, and especially the bosses were quite enjoyable. my only thing with this as selbi said already was the bug with the time counter as it kept going on after i defeated the first boss. other than that, this was by far one of the best mini hacks I've played in awhile so props to the creator of this.

 

Fix: timer stops after defeating the boss.

Well, I tried this last night, the version before SHooTeR released the "Timer fix" in the post above. I enjoyed playing it!

I played this last night and I played the fixed timer version today, great job SHooTeR, the entire zone was challenging but also fun at the same time. The artwork for the zone was nice to look at, what complements the visuals is the awesome OST, I am impressed by the fact that the soundtrack is completely original, it's quite refreshing to hear original music considering most hacks use music from other sources, major props to you Ivan YO. I really enjoyed the bosses, they hit the right balance of difficulty, not too easy but not too hard either, I could imagine these bosses being in an official Sonic game.

The only issue that I can point out is that certain level terrain as well as the moth enemies from Aquatic Ruin blend in with the background, but this is only minor, overall this is a great mini hack.

 

I'm streaming this right now, I did write up a message yesterday to say I'd be doing it tonight, but for some reason it didn't post (maybe I forgot, I donno...).
