- No windowed mode.
- Almost everything else.
 
Impressions
Gameplay
3 / 10
The engine itself is good. The physics are kind of close to the official Sonic games, and there aren't many glitches. My only complaint about the engine is how the springs work. It somehow makes the character move left or right, and that's pretty annoying.

And I'm pretty sure SMMM just used a Sonic engine he found on somewhere. He didn't even changed anything, other than sounds and graphics. And I wish he didn't.

The levels are somewhat confusing, boring and not well designed. Really, there isn't much to say about them, they are just not good, and not fun of course!

The bosses are.. well I skipped them. How? With the level skip button, of course! Yes, there's a level skip button, and that's a debug leftover. We can see how much effort SMBMM put into this game.

And the game has nothing unique going on. The only unique thing about the game is its terrible graphics.
 
Graphics
1 / 10
This game looks like a joke game. Seriously, it's that bad. Everything (Except Somari and the HUD) looks like a bad MS Paint drawing. And Somari is just a bad edit of the original sprite.

The main menu looks kiiinda nice, but it's really unpolished. Tere are no options or anything like that. And we can't change the screen size to windowed because the developer is too lazy to add a single line of code to make the game window size 2x.
 
Sound
6 / 10
Some generic 8-bit sound effects with some nice but forgettable and generic 8-bit music. Not bad.
 
Replay
2 / 10
There is no reason to play this again.
 
Final Words
3 / 10
A bad sequel to a bad game.

This review's kinda hard to read. I get the spring part (Although not necessarily the "only complaint" phrase attached to it), but is the level design generic or poor and confusing?

Also, I wouldn't expect insult comments to be taken on a positive note.

Uh oh, MFGG didn't sent me a message about this game.
And yeah, I was on drugs while writing this review (jk btw). I will edit it with better grammar and more information.
