Incredibly shocked over the game's quality being somewhat superior to the most recent Sonic Team games. Game flow, level design, animations (like how do they do it even better than Sonic Team), music and replayability are all highlights here. A few things I'm critical about personally is the short length, stiff turning for the characters, Knuckles/Rouge gameplay (specifically them feeling much heavier than they usually do) and Rouge's voice acting (like how the fuck did they mess it up that bad). Other from those, the quality for this game is extremely surprising for an iOS game. Recommend playing this game with a game controller for the best experience.
Shame that it's an Apple Arcade exclusive, but if you ever get a subscription or use your trial, this game is a must play for the service.

Please Sega give Sonic Team more development budget or allow Hardlight to assist development in the next game. And I pray for this game to get ported to consoles in the future.
