Hey there! Thank you so much for enjoying the game! We really appreciate for spreading the word for our project with your awesome video! Keep on running!
I'll never understand how could such perfect gem of a mobile game "fail commercially" while the monotonous and braindead boring gameplay of Sonic Dash led it to 500M downloads.
As much as I love Runners, it's not hard to see what happened. As this video mentions, it had bad press from the gate due to its heavyhanded monetization (especially the gacha system), but it also suffered other issues that didn't make it the strongest in the mobile game space, primarily that unless you had a high end phone at the time, the game was prone to performance issues and generally made your device really hot after just a few minutes, and the fact the game required a persistent online connection to play, so it was a pain to pull out on the go, which I don't need to tell you is a shot in the chest for a mobile game, especially in 2015. Sonic Dash doesn't really suffer these issues, it's only monetization is via relatively unintrusive ads and micro transactions that don't serve to handicap freemium players. Say what you will about it's gameplay or presentation, but Sonic Dash is super easy to just pick up and play and it's one of the least money-grubbing among the popular mobile games. Add to that a gameplay loop that's just deep enough to be addicting with an IP everyone knows, and you got a game that made a lot of sense to get as big as it did.
@@thenightwriter619 Not to mention the fact that Sonic Runners, once you get relatively far in the run used to throw such BS obstacles your way it was actually scummy. I used to play it back in the day and trust me, the game actually spawned a literal, unavoidable wall of spiked balls all the way from top to bottom of the screen to stop you. No there wasn't any high difficulty trick you could do to avoid it. It was just a thick wall of spikes designed to stop you unless you either had invincibility or willing to continue with red rings and even if you somehow got through it the next wall spawned soon after anyway. Granted, after the backlash they eventually removed these walls but it was far too late as frustrated players already left at mass.
@@peckneck2439 That too. Granted, Sonic Dash isn't much better, once you get far enough in a run it just starts throwing stuff at you that you practically can't see, but it's not like Runners where it was just a literal death wall you couldn't avoid even with sheer luck. It was a good thing they removed it, but it certainly didn't help the game's reception.
I remember when the game first came out there was a glitch on Android that it will get to the Sega logo and then it was crash and people on Android have to wait a couple weeks to I believe a month to play the game because of that glitch.😂
I'm not sure if it bothers you as much as it bothers me, but if you want to for future videos there's a feature called "guided access" in settings that removes the white bar at the bottom of the screen. It's fairly annoying to turn on/off frequently but it could be worth it when recording footage for videos.
The fact that there was a still a bossfight glitch in dash where if you jump over the missle of eggman or star of i forgor at the right timing you cant die
@@clkgtr1998 yeah i kow about the netflix vers but didn't know that it was on app store by this easy , but prefer that one on the internet tha u can find on youtube wich it works with an apk n a file called rsdk
yeah i download revival yesterday or before yesterday when i discovered thats made by fans n its not a sega stuff that u have to buy it before download it...... i have some opinions n stuff i wanna talk about it but.... perhaps i ill tel it n other time i don't know
why did gothic amy have no description n they didn't write how can we unlock her , her information screen r empty , but i which they ill put more idw sonic commic characters , i love this commic n it ill b cannon so u better chek it out , really its the biggest sonic master pieces for me
@@llennoxyt no don't worry thats what i thought about the game before i learn to never EVER judge a book from he's cover , n if u read the sonic idw commic u ill know who is tangle n whisper they r from this commic u better check it out he is a master piece
