This game. This game. And the soundtrack makes me so happy. Back when I played Bunny Must Die, l only really liked the first level's song, but the composer really hit the jackpot now. Curiously, the "rescue" song that plays in some cutscenes sounds a lot like MegaMan Battle Network's "Proof of Courage". Which is something I approve of. Any heroic scene gets a zillion times better if it has Proof of Courage playing over it.

Feels like it was yesterday that Strife had posted the source for that one cool unfinished Sonic beat 'em up with eye-searing graphics. :V

If I too may talk about Sonic, well, I couldn't believe Sonic Battle ended the way it did. Why was a Everyone's Kung-Fu Fighting Sonic game, of all things, slamming those feels on me?

I have found out how it feels like to draw on a tablet.

Thanks for pointing that out. Turns out the code for the "Actions - [02] Stand Up" motion in the old Worlds version some of us use has nothing for what characters other than Sonic should do when the jump button is pressed while looking up. I'm not sure if it is like that in the current Worlds release. Another peel out oddity I've seen in Lake Feperd's games and other ones is that it isn't cancelled upon taking damage (which is hilarious in ATS due to the "Sonic Step" animation). To fix it, just have the peel out be disabled if Sonic's current animation is 9 (the "getting hit" animation).

Been trying to 100% clear Metal Slug Defense lately, which is annoying due to it depending on random chance. The game turned out to be cool and it adapts the MS games well, but the online multiplayer is where the actual challenges are and it rarely works.

Now that's very intriguing.

So many bandages. Even on the shoes. How about a Rolling Bandage Attack to slap and wrap enemies, then?

I do remember getting stuck on that part back when I first played the game. Thankfully Power Sonic had a whole page on the subject. It's how they first got popular, if I remember well. Casino Paradise in Advance 1 also has barrels, but they're not coded to move like the ones in Sonic 3, thus teaching people wrong about them. Also I played a little right now to get a screenshot but I can't remember where to find the barrels in that zone. I need a map.

The area after the Grandpé boss doesn't load in my netbook. The music starts playing, but the screen remains white and everything freezes. What in this area could be so needy?? Also, congrats on the carnival level, Lake. It was plenty fun.

Felik recently said we wants to release one more update. I wonder if the current version's online mode still works? I love it, but keep forgetting to play it...

I have a couple of emulators and Zookeeper Battle. My phone has too little system memory for whatever reason (only 150 MB!) for me to install stuff, so emulators are very useful. Sometime ago it annoyed me how interesting games would show up on iOS and not get ported to Android, but this seems to be improving nowadays.

Hi. The left column was Metal's blue shades alright. I edited the other three for consistency. Now you should see if the code really is comparing the first column with the colors of Metal's sprite copies and then exchanging it for the other ones. That Super Sonic palette is ok to use too, I guess.

Sounds like a problem in the palette objects... From what I know, each square in them should be 4x4 (since PaletteScale is 4), the columns organized from darker to lighter and the first column of colors in it should be exactly the colors of the character. Try comparing the code to the original to see if you missed something about it works. Also, I'm not too sure on this, but it seems more fps-friendly if, once it works, you set it up to the game only activates the palette cycle for the current character.

The Sonic Jump remake has a ring shield that turns enemies into rings. Maybe you could use that concept?
