Here's an awesome speedrun of this SRB2 level just to showcase how high the skill ceilling for this Sonic fangame actually is th-cam.com/video/TEk8yksmv8U/w-d-xo.html
It's an artifact of the way the doom engine works--you're technically always inside a room with a ceiling and walls, and skyboxes are just warped textures to give off the illusion you aren't.
I hope that the mod that adds actual 3d models for game's characters (and I think the enemies as well, though not sure here) will become the part of the main game. I know it's on Doom engine, but having Sonic/enemies as a flat sprites really fucks with my depth perception - I either end up taking accidental damage because I think I still have enough clearance to jump over enemy or end up undershooting them when trying to jump onto them and then take damage anyway. Great game otherwise, aside from the above issue.
Getting some strong Laputa vibes from this. I like the almost Ayleid mood of it, with the cold stone overgrown. I do have a hard time believing this isn't a fan level through; it seems to lack detail and character, and the level design appears to lack... focus, for lack of a better term. Anywho, I look forward to playing it if I ever get good enough at the game to actually beat it and collect the emblems.
Is there unlimited time or something like that? I know I'm not completing the stage in 10 minutes if at all. It's fucking crazy. Too many bottomless pits, precision jumps, those conveyor belts. Hell no.
It's an unlockable bonus level that you get after getting a certain amount of emblems. It's supposed to be hard and even unfair. I just made this video because I could. If you think this is bad, wait until Azure Temple Zone.
It’s bizare to live in a world where one of the best sonic games is not only fan made, but most optimally played via keyboard and mouse. I’m not complaining pc master race all the way!
One of the worst levels when it comes to design hands down. I love this game to death because it looks very great but this game suffers from level design. This level has one of the worst things is precise jumping I guess I just suck at that in this game. Especially this one it's long as hell. And it's almost like a maze. It's a good level aesthetically and has a good thing going on behind it but, damn this precise jumping and Maze level geometry is horrible.
It's also a secret unlockable level if you have enough emblems and it's made precisely for those who go out of their way to get them and not part of the campaign. I think the level design in the base game of SRB2 2.2 is for the most part great.
@@MariusUrucu don't get me wrong, the first five levels of the game is perfectly fine. They're difficult, but it makes you learn the levels layout. Deep sea zone did an okay job with the maze concept. But I think the game's flaws start to show on the castle themes second act 2. It lacks Direction. I'm not expecting every level to hand hold you and to point you in a Direction, but sometimes when you fall from a certain platform you fall in a section where there are two Pathways and you don't know which way is forward or back. Then you end up back tracking

This "hiding rooms and hallways behind a skybox" thing is so mind screwing! Almost a non-euclidean level design or something

This level is literal hell
"Azure Lake Zone"
@stevenstrumpf7 Excuse me?
@@ikagura he means that sonic games should be as challenging as this level and the objective is to find fun while playing through them
@@hubcrow But the thing is that this is an optional challenge level...
Also Sonic Mania isn't that hard but is still good.
Hehe... *try mobile*
Seriously tho, I can't even get past Arid Canyon. As Tails.
0:24 that was the most "bullseye" thing I've seen this week
check out the updoer level pack, it's that but like every level

Don't worry, Jim's plan is to have the 3d models already in the game for the next update.
@onejerkpixaslice127 there's a 2.2.7? Already?
bruh you did this so fast, it took me 15 minutes to beat even with using tails for some parts and now my heart cant take anymore for today
I practiced. Plus this nowhere near close to what speedrunners can do
He walked up to the end goal almost like he didn’t want it to end.
I feel like it would take me an hour to find the goal
can't begin to tell you how much I love everything about this
also, the music and level design in this level are top notch.
only ogs remember when this zone was just a mod for srb2
This is such a cool level in my opinion
No, you're cool!
It’s really incredible how fan devs have outclassed Sonic Team in every single way
Honestly that is just fact at this point.
If you get a perfect run on Azure Lake Zone (Which is next) I'm subscribing. That level is just pain.
5:32
why is there randomly a pentagram on the floor?
NOT THE BEES
NOT THE BEES
AAAAAA
SuperSonic68 You like jazz?
Oh god... this level. I had sooo much trouble with it when I first played it. Makes this run even more satisfying to watch bc of that tho.
Remember Back When this was one of the Hugest Levels in the Entire game,But Now Castle Eggman Act 2 Took it's place?
Yeah me neither.
Frankly, that was MENTAL.

I love the absolute shit out of this fan game, but I gotta say that this level blows.
Azure Temple Zone says hi
Lol oh my god don’t even get me started
I feel like one thing that would really make jumping better, is some sort of slam-down mechanic
like... the stomp?
this project is very promising, I wanted to see the first 3 areas of sonic 3, in this game: angel island, hydrocity and marble garden
If this would've come out when saturn was still alive I've shit my pants.
This fangame looks fun but at the same time the controls look so slippery and loose
Where can I find the 60 fps patch?
Anxiety: The Level
Getting the emblem that requires Fang in this level is definitely the hardest in the game imo 😵
NOT THE BEES
Sonic go swoosha spoonsh *stage clear noises*
0:47 the music look like sei un mito a italian song
Mf went through at the speed of light goddamn
i don't like how this game seems to have no curved surfaces at all
This a really old level, the updated levels in the main game have slopes and curves and such
how is this 1440p that's almost 4k
I want this ported to saturn so bad
This game is hard as fuck
Do you use keyboard or controller to play?
Controller
How can I play this game on my MacBook?
I don't think it's possible. Only Windows and Android works for it.
Sonic meets minecraft
Is there unlimited time or something like that? I know I'm not completing the stage in 10 minutes if at all.

wish I could enjoy this game but it kinda sucks with a controller. Sonic was meant to be played with a controller imo
I played this with a controller myself
I died like 10 times o could see it
I thought this was on Saturn...
IT'S DOOM
Did I hear zunpets?
AAAAA
how did u get the 3d model ?
From here:

@@MariusUrucu thx
How did you get 60 fps
It actually runs at 35 FPS in OpenGL mode and so is this gameplay footage, despite TH-cam listing 60 FPS
WHY IS IT DOOM
Epic
Sonic 64
This game just got an update? How?
the 2.1 era ended like half a year ago

I’m not complaining pc master race all the way!
FYI, I played this with a contoller. :))
@@MariusUrucu It's worth having a gander with KB/M. The added control of the camera really allows it to get nutty.

Worst level in the entire game imo
Level design is too flat. Mediocre.
This is an old outdated level that was made from before SRB2 got slopes.
And it never got updated outside of the music anyways
