*Entry Description*
The entry as mentioned, is said to be inspired by the Sonic 1 concept art and scrapped content, with the objective of bringing a new experience in new shoes, featuring a new protagonist, “Mach The Porcupine.”
-
*Story*
The once joyful Christmas Island is in danger! An ancient being from the nightmare realm breaks into this world, transforming the habitants of Christmas island into distorted versions of themselves.
Mach must speedrun into a chaotic adventure (*typo in video description*) to restore peace in his home and defeat this new threat once and for all.
-
*Changelog*
A lot of changes are done in the base game.
• New Title screen & splash screen;
• Modified camera behaviour on zones;
• Custom objects (only a few);
• Custom music;
• Custom Graphics (except a few);
• Custom palettes;
• Custom levels (2 for this demo, with a change in layout).
*Keep in mind, the creator mentions that this was pretty much a rushed thing, fun fact.*
