    Yeah, the mechanics in this game are terrible. The controls often mistake swipes (and gestures sometimes compound, meaning that sonic goes apeshit if you don't make a perfectly horizontal or vertical swipe).

    Underneath the polished graphics, the game's production was rushed, and modeled to milk money from buyers. Too bad, because it could have been really good :\

    What would this place be without your arbitrary curmudgeon posts?

    Less informative :p

    I posted clearly what I didn't like about this specific game and was replying to a friend of mine, Connector. You can't get any less arbitrary than that. I post a lot of love for games too. Maybe not as much lately, but I've been just playing a few too many games with ultimately bad game theory/design. I still love the appstore and have a strong passion for games from small dev teams with fresh ideas.

    I'm still trying to wrap my head around what "jumps and stuff blend too much with the ground" means. Anyway, can't wait to see what you hate next.

    "jumps" = things you jump over, primarily walls

    "stuff" = other objects, typically stuff you go under or dodge around

    "blend too much with the ground" = the ground textures and textures on the walls and other "stuff" aren't distinct enough so they blend together and make for deceptive obstacles.

    That was my observation testing the game out anyway, though I thought that when I watched a TA Plays or maybe it was a Sanuku video. The coin system though is a bit on the harsh side unlike Subway Surfers or Agent Dash.... still if the game was great that wouldn't bother me as much as the game just not seeming to be very good.

    Sorry if that was confusing. I was talking about specific aspects of the game. I was trying not to ramble on and on about it because I have a tendency to post a book worth of content when describing things and I know that can be annoying.

    You won't read me complain about Eek!, Plasma Sky, Towelfight2, Melodive, Call of Snakes, Real Racing 2, or a plethora of other games I've played lately that I had a blast with. There's a lot I love on the appstore and I've posted plenty of positive things. My love for Cytus alone knows no bounds. I don't want to over hype games, just post some feedback and let people decide on their own if a game is appealing or not.

    Agreed. They should add new locations, new chars, more ways to get those red rings, new moves... AND FINALLY DELETE THE GAME AND MAKE SONIC ADVENTURE 2 HD PORT INSTEAD!!! :p

    Man, you guys are really bad at this. Go play Sonic Generations, you noobs. I wanna see 100% completion on that, then come back and tell me this is hard so I can slap you.

    Noobs? Go play Sonic Spinball, NOOB! ;) (I actually have the cartridge for my Sega Nomad portable Genesis)

    Speaking of Sonic Spinball, I don't know why it was considered to be a lousy game...I enjoyed it.

    So did I, but it was nothing compared to Crüe Ball.

    I'm surprised, it's maybe one of the worst runners that I've installed in the last time. Luckily I didn't pay the original 2 bucks.
