Sonic 1 on Bird Hill Island Updated Bird Park Demo Download

 

Is Super Sonic really goingh to be in this hack?

 

yes, he is Although he is Called Power Sonic.

 

Alright just beated the hack so
Here's my review:

Level Design - The Level design has a few errors, you should improve it

Music - Theres only music from Sonic 3K and 3D blast, try getting some songs from the SMPS competition and from nineko's SMPS pack also a few songs from Sonic 2 as well

Features - I like spindash, extra characters, extended camera and the Power sonic

So heres the final rating;

6/10
Theres room for improvements, but dont worry, if u want i can work for you hack

 

Sure! You can be Beta tester(And Level designer if you're good at making levels)!

 

Sure, Im pretty good at making levels

 

Hello, I have tried your hack rom, it seems like a good idea to take elements from Sonic 3, even this Super Sonic! or well "power sonic" just a few things that you should improve in the visual aspect....

level design:

It's really confusing, it has things that don't make sense or even cut chuncks... marble zone is good, especially act 2. of spring yard I couldn't try much since it bugged and died...

I would recommend making the spin dash adapt to the level design without crashing since that takes away Sonic's speed.

Another thing is that you avoid putting ground enemies in the way so that you don't cut Sonic's speed and eat the enemy in the face...

mz I like the art even though it's not finished but ghz... those blocks really look strange.

Character or object design:
You should modify Sonic since it is really tiring to see the same Sonic 3 sprites in various hacks... just like the other objects. You can obviously use free assets by giving respective credits in "spriters-resource.com" something like this

innovation....?
Well, I don't really see anything new in the hack, whether it's a skill or something like that, I would say that Super Sonic is innovative but it's already very common... I'm not saying it's bad, it's really surprising that it's in a Sonic 1 hack to my. but that the name of the hack sounds strange at some point.

in the end:
I see potential in this hack just by making the right decisions like polishing the level design it could be really good but using new art

-linkin park reference XDDDD

 

I just realized I forgot to say you can play as Tails by pressing B on the Title Screen and Knuckles by pressing down on the title screen

 

Well, I tried this hack until SYZ Act 1 and I think it's not bad, but level design it's the main issue.

I mean, Green Hill haves a lot of cutted chunks, but some areas were enjoyable, Marble Zone had some pretty good areas.

Anyway, I found a bug that Sonic gets stuck on the air if I'm jumping after I get past the signpost, like if he's doing his victory pose mid-air but instead of that, he just keeps rolling lol.

If you manage to fix that issues, I think it's a pretty neat start! Also I would recommend making Power Sonic unlockable after obtaining the emeralds, it is too much OP at the start of the game : P

In the End, It doesn't even matter
bro really made a linkin park reference and didn't expected me to respond with something

 

I forgot to readd a line of code I commented out for the chaos emeralds of Power Sonic, also i have no Idea how to fix the bug for the signpost and also yes, I know my level designs are bad.

 

(sorry for the double post)
Credits to DDAS Sonic for being the first Showcase Youtuber to play my Romhack!

 

I really like this hack, though I cant wait for the next build.

 

Thanks! I'm Thinking of submitting it to the Sonic Hacking Contest!

 

Oldest build of Sonic 1 On Bird Hill Island! Heh, This shows how bad my Rom hack was at this point.

 

Pre April fools demo!
Now, you might be thinking, "Why should I play this demo since it probably has no new content?
Well, this is actually a version with less features of my current developer build
So if you want new features, then here you go! Although of course, there's a catch
What's the catch? Play the demo to see!
(Level select code is up, up, left, right)

 

Also, try playing as all characters to have the full experience!

 

(Post removed because of reason below)

 

I understand. and my best part of rom hacking is coding and art design.

 

Just saying, If you want a real next demo, then wait for SHC 2025!
