Netflix ruining something, *NAH* they would never do this.
Enter Jojo part 6
@@ayouxywow... true..
@@Ss-rx9bx the whole appeal of Jojo was that every episode gives us memes to chew on that week...a batch of half of the series give us too much and we have to wait for too long, so we're both overwhelmed to meme about and underwhelmed that we have to wait half a year or so
they did it with bloons 🤯🤯🤯
The fact that this game runs worse natively than with a switch emulator is truly sad i stole my friend's account for nothing😒
t h a t ' s c r a z y .
Hell there's a homebrew port to the Wii, a console that was underpowered back when it came out in 2006, that runs perfectly outside of the special stages (which only lag because its using software rendering and not taking advantage of hardware acceleration)
@@GANONdork123on vita too (although more powerful than wii i think)
Sega messing up a port, a normal day indeed.
That’s probably cause this one was, just like colors ultimate, made by some random company, like why didnt they get christian whitehead who not only made the sonic mobile remasters, but also worked on MANIA, like why didnt let him cook and make the best mobile port? Just why….
The fact that this port has a few problems around doesn’t mean it’s messed up.
Stop clowning.
Plus, it’s not a port of somerthing like a game gear sonic game, IT’S A PORT OF SONIC MANIA, do you realize how wrong you are?
infact they ruined Sonic 1 & 2 Ports too, you always start with 1 life.
my explanation is because people used that 3 given lives to restart special stages easily, and i guess sega wasn't happy with it
@Smartperson2574 point is though Sega said this was fine for release so they still have a part in this, especially when Christian whitehead made mobile ports and they're perfect. They wanted to make more money off a subscription service deal which is mega lame
Because he had a fall out with Sega and moved on to make his own game studio.
So Sega fucked up a port of a game...what's new about it
The port is fine. I hit constant 60fps. Only issue is that it's not wide screen. Other than that, it's the standard version of mania.
The port is fine because it’s a _port_
The problem isn't SEGA, it's the fact that it's a NETFLIX game. I'm not sure the port's been handled by Christian Whitehead as was the case with Sonic 1/2 & Sonic CD, either.
If it was Christian Whitehead it'd have been amazing @@steveluvscows2490
@@steveluvscows2490 dude, those games weren’t ports. they were almost completely remade to fit on a mobile device. that’s why origins is so buggy because the game wasn’t supposed to be played on a console
I honestly find the mobile version useless. Especially since I have the Switch version. Kinda makes it rather pointless for me
*I* can't afford a Switch though. A lot of other people can't as well. Let alone the game. Especially with how overpriced most Switch games of are these days.
EDIT: Well, at least where I live, for example. 50 R$ to 200 R$ for Mania plus 2000 R$ for the Switch before that.
Not to mention the other way to play sonic mania on mobile so basically the Netflix way is pointless
Can I just say I love your profile picture
@@devalynbrooks9566 whose picture
@MrRuePine you can get a Switch lite for 150$. Plus Sonic Mania is 20$.
A regular Switch is 300$ compared to PS5 or Xbox which are both 500$.
Honestly there's alot of cheaper options to get a Switch even today
8 year old me finally gets what he wanted after waiting for YEARS and it's tied to Netflix of all things 😒
My mom already had a netflix account, so it was fairly easy. So why are you complaining ?
@agamingchannelolXD1283 Way to miss the point!
Being tied to a subscription is horrendous.
They already tried that with Dream Team and look how that turned out.
Not everyone can use or pay for Netflix.
Not to mention that Netflix keeps raising the prices of its services, but that's a whole different topic on its own.
Normally it wouldn't be AS bad until you realize that you paid almost the same amount as the game's price on Steam, (20 dollars. Rounded up. Not including tax.) for an inferior, unoptimized, scummy port! Mania should not be having FPS drops on modern-day devices. My old crappy potato PC can run Mania at a consistent 60 FPS, so what gives?
Typical SEGA, they hate making money via quality. They could've easily just ported Mania on the Google Play Store without the Netflix thing for like 6-10 dollars or something using the same framework as the mobile ports of 1, 2, and CD, but that would make too much sense, so they decided to fuck up another port because that seems to be the one thing they're consistent at.

We got a sonic mania port, before a Sonic 3 & Knuckles port on moblie devices. Why?!!!!!!!!!
Legal issues, but there's a port of an unofficial Sonic 3 & Knuckles remaster titled Sonic 3: Angel Island Revisited, or Sonic 3 A.I.R. for short.
@@SquidbeakCaptain honestly they have no reason to port the 3k remaster from origins now
Christian canceled sonic 3 and knuckles port because it's too hard or smth
@@MalaikaWafulait was near fully completed, Sega just wouldnt let him release it.
Iirc S3K was the initial pitch he sent them but they said "nah, we need to rerelease CD, we never did that before, can you do that?"
@@CassiusStelar It wasn't "near fully completed," afaik he only remade Angel Island Zone & the Special Stages as a proof of concept.
It never got further than that because SEGA didn't greenlight it, probably thanks to the Micheal Jackson tracks.
Also the proof-of-concept video was released in 2014, three years after the Sonic CD remake was released.
Once again, the fans did a better job than sega. The decomp is _miles_ better than the official version, and isn’t locked to a subscription service. Not to mention, the decomp version can even run mods! I’m just sad cause this is definitely gonna injure Sonic Mania’s reputation as a near perfect Sonic game.
4:00 💀
because the decomp is sonic mania
Sega has not had a good record of mobile ports like the one for crazy taxi. It’s always the original titles for mobile games that do great such as sonic dream team
@@waff69the netflix version is also sonic mania lol
@@walucidamn no im saying that the decomp has absolutely nothing changed
@@waff69The decomp version of sonic mania supports mods!
The decomp is well made, no offense to the Netflix port.
And it supports mods.
@@Gnidel Facts!
@@Gnidel the decomp doesn't run on specific phones so for some people (including me) are forced to play the netflix version
Decomp is shite. So laggy.
@@SailsPlaysit's likely the problem with your phone than with the decomp itself
Oh yeah. I completely forgot about Sonic Mania getting a mobile port. I’m gonna be honest, as well made and polished of a game Mania is, I… haven’t played it since the Plus update released a few years back. I guess I never really had much of an incentive to go back and play it after initially beating the game.
Regardless, it’s a shame to see the mobile port of this game is poorly implemented and optimized for iOS and Android devices.
Especially considering the game was literally built on the same engine that was used for the mobile versions of the other classic games. A mobile version should have been an easy win. Instead, we get a sub-par port that requires a subscription to play. The gaming industry keeps finding new ways to take what should be an exciting announcement and make it depressing.
Not to mention that there are also some audio issues at times that I experienced for some reason.
Its actually a good port
I kinda like the port, sadly though Netflix is the one who ported it and not Sonic Team. Also, no mod support :(
No dip, its netflix and how would you get the mods in the first place?
it was so weird to me when I just randomly found out that mania was on mobile devices. I was so confused but decided to just try it out to see what it's like. It for some reason doesn't scale properly on my phone despite the fact that my phone is modern. I'm on a Samsung Note 20, so I do not see why it even has that issue.
I feel for u mate. I haven’t played the game yet so I can’t give my thoughts but I am expecting some decent things so far
Man I played sonic mania on my old pixel 3a on a SWITCH EMULATOR that hit a locked 60 fps. If a native port isnt as optimized as an emulator that's just dumb
It’s not a mobile game. They can’t make it fully optimised
@@DanialDEcool ??? tf are you talking about? Yes, mania wasn't originally a mobile game, but they ported it to mobile meaning the code is running on native hardware, not through a translation layer like emulators are. Sonic 1, 2, and CD aren't mobile games either, and they play perfectly fine if we go by your logic
the fact that playing sonic mania on a switch emulator runs better than that shit port says something
@@DanialDEcool If you have the source code, you can recompile it for any platform you care to. Easier said than done, but an optimized native port is possible. Heck, there's already a decompilation project online where you can get the source code and build it yourself, and besides the 3D sections, there's even a fullspeed build for a mf Wii!
How did they fuck up a mobile port of MANIA?! Of all games?! I was considering playing this just for the hell of it, but now, Mania mobile can get fucked
There's an unofficial mobile port of it based on the RSDK5 decompilation that was released ages ago, and it's almost perfect.
Ok jeez its not that bad
@@davebob4973Agreed. I tried it out yesterday, and it ran just fine, so the complainers make no sense as usual.
And the decompilation for mobile is so damn good it's not even close.
@goldenninja9053 so everyone else having problems for something they paid is a problem you sound like a smart guy
Well I never experienced these errors, but the menu is kinda wack
It’s because they’re complaining about weaker devices. This game isn’t even supposed to be used on a phone. Origins literally had the same issue. Most of his points is “they did it before” when they had to rebuild the game. They weren’t gonna rebuild sonic mania for mobile once again. The original 2013 versions also failed on perfect inputs.
They really think that they’re gonna force netflix to rebuild a game. What a world.
Listen, I just finished playing the main mode on there. Even though there are many issues (Sound Effects, Some Lag, Weird Hub) it’s still a good version for people that don’t have NS, PS or XBOX. Still the weakest version of the game, but would still try it if my Switch Broke. But I want to say one last thing, I honestly think that Netflix is behind most of the port, so Don’t Blame Sonic Team. I Still have Hope that the Generations Reboot will be Good, but definitely don’t want something like this. Good Vid tho!😊
Thank you!
funnily enough my touch control just don't even show up
HOW DID THEY MESS THAT UP????
Same lol. I had to download a virtual gamepad app to play the game
Idk maybe your phone is older than you
Maybe your phone is too old
Will there ever be a day when Sonic fans aren't throwing tantrums?
No.

it really isnt a good port

Me an average sonic enjoyer: not giving a shit about the game’s quality
Fans:omg every thing is dead to me
If I had a nickel for every time Sega decided to put weird pixel filtering on a classic sonic port, id have 2 nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice, right?
Technically like 5 times if you count every game in origins individually
you could just set the filter to sharp though
even with a netflix account, i somehow still feel robbed of accessibility to this game.
Sucks to see that we need a Netflix subscription just to play Mania. I have one so it’s not a problem for me, but for those who don’t have it, I’m sorry.
it’s not that inconvenient. they could just buy the game for a little more permanently.
for the weird pixel filter, that disappears if you set the filter in the video config from none to sharp (on my phone it worked atleast).
ive commented that on your post because it's really absurd how the game runs very well on a switch emulator and unofficially on a ps3 but can't run on my fricking phone of all things
a Mi 10 with similar power to s20 shouldn't lag on this
thanks for covering this and i hope more and more people cover this so the issues are recognized by whoever ported the game
I’m gonna be honest this just seems like sonic fans yelling at the sky as usual. It’s a fine way to play mania, especially for people who conveniently have a Netflix account who don’t want to pay for the game by itself.
💯
Same opinion here
TRUE
Fr
Yeah like it’s not like you’re paying for an extra subscription or anything
2:23 Yeah this is a big issue, a PS3 could literally play this game
a ps-vita can also run it
A Wii can manage the 2D sections
Yeah, it can run an optimised version. this is just a touch support port. It does nothing on top. that’s why audio and gameplay can lag.
Sonic Mania: Cuties!

Oh Boy! Last time I checked your channel, you had 1k or 2k subs, now you have 24k subs, awesome !
4:52 literally as you said the word "links" a notification of a new terminal montage video about tloz appeared on my screen which is so hilarious
Fools they forgot that Nintendo and their big brain thinking have already made a handheld/home console that has been out for years now and already has a better and more optimized version of a game that has been out since 2017 💀
my game is bugged and the controls just dont appear, so i cant move the character
Eu estou com o mesmo problema dos controles 🤷♂️
Only real people watch netflix on wii of course 🗿
But didn’t wii servers closed or smth
@@Smartperson2574 Riiconect 24 if you mod it
Ive been playing the game and the audio seems to be really choppy ( idk if thats the right word ).
I need to check on that decomp again.
I remember I tried to run early releases but even my S20 wouldn't display anything but a black screen.
As it is now, the official released for Mania is messed up on phones unless you really use Netflix a lot and you have a gamepad.
Wait so you're telling me there's a fan-port for it? And i don't have to install the game from Google play?
The game doesn't even start on my phone. And I got my phone in 2022. I can't imagine a compatibility issue with such a recent one. It's not that big of a deal. I can still play the game on PC and a Steam Deck when I get around to getting one of those. But it's still disappointing. Sega keeps astounding me with their level of stupidity.
I mean sonic mania is a pretty powerful game
List the name of the phone and you android version.
@@SupremeCodyGaming Moto g pure, android version 12.
the controls just don't appear to me. Unfortunately, I don't have a Bluetooth controller to connect. my device model is MOTO G23
do you have any connector cables? Like one with 2 charger ends? I think you can plug the controller in with it
This leads me to believe that Stealth and Christian Whitehead are the only 2 people on Earth who know how to use Retro Engine
and the sonic 1 forever/ sonic 2 absolute team
dude. this is not a new game. this is a console game with touch controls. they didn’t use the retro engine.
@@DanialDEcool the retro engine was used for the remasters of sonic 1,2 and CD long before they were used for mania
the Netflix membership stuff also happened to TMNT shredder's revenge which sucks because its an extremely good game
Bro somebody fucking reviewed the game and said "gegagegado" and Netflix fuckin responded ☠️☠️☠️☠️
@@KirbyDaVerby i'm trying to find the review lol (i have too much free time)
edit: nvm I found it lol. it's a google play tablet review. can't believe you misquoted it; it was actually "Gegadigageoh"
fairly sure it's also on ios with apple arcade
I cant even get the touch controls to work
I find it hilarious that the Android version has such performance issues when the Switch version doesn't, even though the Switch is kind of an Android tablet reworked into a handheld.
My version (iPhone) couldn’t even play sound
How do you mess up the trademark redeeming quality of your mascot
Theres a little button on the side of your iphone that turns sound (i think its called the ringer?) on and off, thats probably why it doesnt have sound at all, i have a iphone and after clicking that button all the sound comes back
I get its inconvenient and all but unironically alot of ios games to this
This game absolutely SLUGS on mobile! For some reason, for me it ran at a constant 15-20fps!
The only exception being when I touched the screen itself instead of the touch controls, at which point the game snaps back at 60fps!
It means your phone is either old or not comparable. I hit constant 60fps.
What's your android version?
@@SupremeCodyGaming Not that I don't want to answer, but that question kinda sounds like a scam to me. I feel like I'm about to get hacked.
Over an android version?@@Skoufidios
Sonic Mania port should’ve never happened like at all. I just don’t understand why did Netflix decided to port Sonic mania? Great video SF!
Everyone: Why is Sonic Mania not on mobile?
Also everyone: I just dont understand why did Netflix decided to port Sonic Mania 😯
You prefer not having a mobile port than having one?
For some reason, I don't even have touch controls when playing mania plus. It's already turned on in settings but it won't work in game
It’s because that’s all they did. They simply added those controls. they didn’t do any bugs tests on them.
Mfs who play sonic mania on Netflix:😔😔😭😭😭😭😭
Mfs who play RSDK:🍷🗿
I love RSDK
Hey guys I am gonna review this guys rants and complaints.
Netflix Subscription - We were literally told about this months ago 💀
Not avaible for android devices - They are probably still working on it 💀
Not 60 FPS - Are you allergic to showers?
Bad UI - Ok? It's a mobile port 💀there offering you Mania for less than 20$ what'd you expect?!
Bad Touch Screen Design - So, first off you can still play the game, second off, when your playing the games your not even focused on the controls, third off, JUST USE A CONTROLLER.
They RUINED Sonic Mania - This has no impact on Sonic Mania in general, this is just the mobile port.
In Summary:
0/10 Nothing he says about or complains is even valid. With the minor complaints and clickbait Title, it's just for the sake of Profit.
the controls just don't appear to me. Unfortunately, I don't have a Bluetooth controller to connect. 😢
@@PM-B1999 Playstation, Xbox, or some Swithc controllers work. But I'm sure they'll fix it.
@@PM-B1999 well now every youtuber is trying to farm the Mania "drama" for cash. We have never had a single Sonic thing release without people complaining about it,
@@SonicDudeDoIt unfortunate. My only problem is just the touch controls that don't appear.
Detail, my device model is the MOTO G23
@@PM-B1999 I'm Sorry :(
Is it controller supported? I think every Mobile sonic game before this is
yes
Honestly I felt that the controls for playing through zones weren't that bad and I kinda like the vibe that the menu gives (though I agree that it should be touched up), but it was horrible for the bonus stages. The special stages were also really difficult with these controls too, but it is a mobile game so understandably it would be a bit difficult to work with, I'm hoping that I can try this with one of those bluetooth controllers that hold your phone while you play to see if that gives me a better experience since it seems that this was made with the intent of using one.
"This could have been a slam dunk if the controls were good and this wasn't a Netflix exclusive"
"Also Who is buying a Netflix subscription just so they can play Sonic Mania on their mobile devices" you can buy the game for $20 God dammit
I find funny that sonic 1,2 CD mobile ports are better than this
Well, Sonic Mania is a bigger game.
Stop complaining like dude it’s not that big of a deal, it’s SONIC MANIA PLUS ON FKING MOBILE WITHOUT ADS
and you’re angry because it’s locked behind a netflix subscription?
But you’re not complaining about being interrupted by an 30s long ad every minute to play sonic 1, 2 and cd on mobile?
You’re truly like a sonic fan.
Sega gives you one of the most generous gifts ever and you’re like « ThEy RuINed SeNiC MAnIa sEgA iS EViLLL »
You're acting like SEGA is doing charity work holy shit. Generous gifts? Both Switch and Steam Deck are portable, meaning that this port just exists for convenience, and if the experience is worse compared to its contemporaries, then there's no point in it. It's like you think SEGA has never made a bad port or something when they've done this historically since SADX.
Then again, people are acting like they just ruined Mania when we already many ways to play Mania other than this, with the Switch already being a hybrid console
@@thecoolbroscoolman4672 To be honest, most of my response was in regards to the "generous gift" part of the comment when we're talking about SEGA, a company that screws up half the time with Sonic, and doesn't care about anyone but itself for the most part.
Port bad
Oh shit sorry for wanting a good port
Also, just wondering. What app store is Mania on? Just wanna try it out.
apple appstore, google play store
on my iphone the thumbstick and jump button are so small i cant even move 60% of the time
Bro the app crashed before i could even finish act 1 of Green Hill Zone. IM ON AN IPHONE 11

@omnipotentowlproductions This game isn't even hardware demanding in the slightest.
You sir are the reason people get bad ports like this, for one of if not the highest rated sonic games of recent times, a simple port shouldn’t be as bad as this.
@@omnipotentowlproductionsIt uses the same engine as the other classic sonic games on mobile, so it should have been way better
I played it a bunch up to stardust speedway on a long car ride today. I honestly saw little problems and found it easy to control despite being on mobile.
They fucked up the thumb stick and jump button 💀😭
Same with their style
Use a Bluetooth controller or a Bluetooth keyboard. It’s supported.
Why should you even consider playing on a phone? I still don't get that. But yeah big companies sh*tting on consumers is nothing new.
Well like I said in the video
I was bored in class one day and only had my phone on me so I played the game
@@SFproductions1 so, next time better a GBA and Sonic Advance? xD
Games like Grand Summoners, Dragon Ball Legends, Raid: Shadow Legends, Solo Leveling: Arise (coming soon), One Punch Man World, etc... There are lots of good mobile games out there.
@@thedarknessinthelight9824 Even as a diehard Dragonball fan since 1999 I wouldn't even consider installing Legends, it looks like a mobile crap game like all the others and has probably gacha and pay and wait nagging elements like all the others. I would rather play even DBGT Final Bout on PS1 or Legacy of Goku 1 or something. I don't know a single mobile game that is good. Maybe emulators. But that's always better with a controller. Gaming is always better on anything other than a phone, even though you can connect a controller.
@@adrenaliner91 It has gacha elements, but it's not Pay-To-Win nor do they have ads every 10 seconds and the art is actually relatively good when given the chance.
It's a game I'd rather play over all of the games of the PS1 AND 2 era, excluding PSP and Gamecube though...
For me whenever i die during that spider boss fight the game crashes and i have to start the entire flying battery zone all over again.
0:39 this pissed me off so much. Especially when Netflix released a trailer for Sonic Mania Plus only for me being unable to download it. I had to wait 2 months for that post on the Sonic TH-cam channel.
your audio chip or processor is outdated. it is not made for those older components. it’s just a touch port.
Look guys, lets take a win when we can get one. As someone who doesnt have Sonic Mania and has a Netflix Subscription, I take this as a win, my only issue with the port is just the controls *and thats it.* I didnt even have any problems with glitches or anything. Its still the same old Sonic Mania with bad controls, i'd take these controls over Sonic R's controls any day.
I played the mobile decomp port and it worked nicely, smooth 60fps except for special stage, which fair, but the netflix version crashes on the sega jingle for me
The mobile port team really needed to optimize it more. Decomp solos
The mobile versions of the game also have touch sticks they don’t have d pads? My main problem for all the classic games on mobile is that they don’t have the 3 button layout which means no triple spin dash.
I wrote a comment about having deja vu because I remember hearing about this Netflix version last year and it having issues. Then it got to the part about it launching last year in certain regions. Now it all makes sense. It's a shame they didn't address these problems during that year.
I cannot find this no solder version anywhere. Please drop anything for me. 😢
You know how in Flying Battery Zone there’s 4 monitors right next to each other that you can only access by hitting two switches in different areas? Well I got to that part and one was missing and the other was broken, I hadn’t opened the secret
I think the issue is that mania usually loads more chunks and is much faster than the remastered 2013 games as it’s for newer consoles and monitors which are wider and stronger. A Phone however cannot do the same. which leads it to load things that don’t work because you went way too fast in an area where it would have loaded.
When going back into the game my save file actually got corrupted
that’s a storage issue. not a Netflix issue. your save file can be corrupted with any instsnce
@@DanialDEcool that might be the issue though it happened on more than one occasion
Not to mention the audio. Lots of choppy music in addition to sfx being reduced. Some sfx just don't play consistently either, collecting large amounts of blue spheres in the ufo sections doesn't work right, and the same goes with rings. It's like they limited how many sounds can be played
It’s because the sounds were mixed for more complex audio devices.
What’s even odder is their GTA definitive edition ports are actually decent. They got the vibe of the originals
Honestly idc abt the mania port im just so hyped for the new mobile sonic game announced by sega it actually looks fun ^^
Actually it says it’s incompatible on devices with Android 14 and on devices below Android 8 (which is normal as the application package was set to not work with devices below 8) but 14 works fine if you get the game outside the play store, so they messed up the play store page.
Not true. My Phone is Android 14 and it runs flawlessly. That being said it's seems people's experience with the game on Mobile devices varies wildly.
@@DarkAnomaly The game runs well on some devices no matter the Android version, but my point is, the play store page is broken, not the game performance on some devices.
@@DarkAnomaly But, did you get the game from the play store (no mods)?
The even worse thing is that the arrows on the select screen arent even centered
You also can't use cheat codes, so kids who can't get everything they want unless they get good, which could be the reason alot of kids quit
When I played the game, the touch controls literally didn't work.
A nitpick but the font in this port looks off you can tell by looking at the 0
Dude I literally can't play the game I have to emulated the game now I have no choice 😭😭😭😭
Why is bro screaming at sega for a fucking mobile game available in Philippines only 💀
what are you yapping on about it isn't even Philippines exclusive
@@GuyInTheShade-dj125 it used to be
The controls felt really stiff to me tbh, like the d-pad/joystick is sorta unresponsive
The device compatibility is actually weird with Netflix in general. I've run across a few smartphones and tablets where Netflix isn't on Google Play Store. And yet, installing Netflix via APK is completely fine. So i really dont know what's up with that.
Why can’t Sega ever port anything flawlessly. Or blind squirrel games lol.
"Flaws are infinite. With SEGA"
It’s a good port
I'm getting it just to run the decomp on PC (yeah i'm broke), once I actually get Visual Studio to install
Can you do a video about characters that you want to see in Sonic Rumble???
One of the main issues I’m having the game on iOS for my iPhone 15 Pro Max is sound. It pops in and out during gameplay… it’s annoying as hell. Netflix has to fix this!!!
they can’t. the reason the other games don’t have audio issues is because they recreate the sounds mimicking the genesis sound chip. Netflix has just taken the console sounds and ported it over. The console sounds are meant to sound fine on monitors, but phones have bad speakers
@@DanialDEcool well, Sonic Mania doesn’t mimic the Sega Genesis. And only remixes the original soundtrack using modern music programs. And current smartphones have pretty good speakers. As it’s not a speaker issue but a coding one. Other games, movies, and music sound incredible from the phone otherwise. The game wasn’t ported correctly on smartphones.
On my phone there’s weird audio glitches
another thing that's personally bugging me with this port: there is no audio feedback, no sound effects
It’s an issue with the phone speaker.
@@DanialDEcool there's music tho
Whats odd is that im experiencing pretty much no frame drops in the game, and the thumbstick is also small for me
huh
I honestly thought the mobile port was fine, but I was playing on iOS so maybe that makes a difference? (I had some issues with the sound, tho)
Looks like the pixel filtering thing isn't on iOS so that's good
you know what just when you made this video they actually updated the game to have a d-pad. the only problem? they took your advice too seriously. now its *TOO* SMALL.
maybe its just a thing because im playing it on a tablet and maybe its larger on phone but idk man
Wait fr?? I gotta check that out
I can't find it on Galaxy store or Play Store?
fun fact: sonic dash 2: sonic boom was not on my app store, I DOWNLOAD THE APK AND IT WORKS
Since android 14 released many apps have been unable to be used especially legacy apps like older versions of minecraft pe or such, the update has caused me many issues
For me the only issues are the lack of widescreen, no customizable controls, the game not saving between acts (Ik the original didn’t save between either but I can only play for a bit at a time on the go), and most of all, the audio stuttering, which is super bad for no reason and makes the music hard to enjoy
Even on iOS it’s still really unoptimized. I have the iPhone 14 Pro, and yet I still have audio issues and performance issues. I don’t even have that old of a device for it to be doing that
The decompilation works leagues better than this
My tumb stick is way smaller than you show in the video my tumb stick is way smaller so small that when I try to move sonic just looks up I hate this control
if they added the normal sonic mania for free and made it so you had to pay more for the encore dlc i think it'd be fine.
That’s weird, im playing the game on my iphone 14 and i don’t have the touchstick, instead i have a D-pad that’s a lot closer to the other mobile Sonic ports and works a treat. (And for the record - i’m not playing the decomp, im playing the netflix version)
I also haven’t been experiencing any frame drops or input lag, everything’s been stable and responsive. Really, the only issue I’m having is crackly audio, that’s it. I know I can’t speak for anyone other than myself, but I’ve been having a lot of fun with this version of the game and I’m plenty satisfied. Sorry for those who were left disappointed by it, though.
If sonic mania and rest of classic ports are screwed,
Just use RSDKV4/V5!
Sonic mania android? RSDKV5
ads keep poping up on sonic classics? RSDKV4
slap RSDK4 on every game! (except mania and cd)
