The visuals, for instance, are quite modern, and Classic 2 may be the best looking 2D game I’ve played at SAGE 2021 so far. Design ideas like these make these bosses some of the best I’ve seen in a fan game.Ĭlassic 2 is an experience heavily influenced by Sonic’s classic titles, but it is hardly confined to the trappings of that era. Initially, Eggman’s cockpit is too high for Sonic to hit, but once enough snow piles up on the ground, Sonic can leap off of it to land an attack. Another has Eggman firing deadly snowballs at Sonic.
One boss involves bringing down a giant multi-armed machine with multiple drills, which need to be used as platforms to get up to Eggman’s cockpit.
Although some of the battles are a little too easy to brute force through, all of them are neat and clever.
