I haven't played the Sonic Advance or Rush games yet, but this one is pretty dope.

It's more of a boost to win kinda game but it's still really satisfying to memorize the level layout and zoom through each stage at insane speeds and precision.

My only complaints are that at times the game can feel to automatic with a few too many portions that just feel like cutscenes. That and the X ranks are maybe a bit too forgiving in the latest version? The first X rank I got was by pure accident and I spent quite some time messing up jumps in that run.

I only played version 1.5.0, so the game is not finished yet, but I will make sure to revisit it once it's complete. Pretty solid and still feels very complete for a game that is still a work in progress.
