SAGE 2024 - Demo Sonic Into Cyberspace SAGE 2024 Demo

Sonic Into Cyberspace is a 2D modern Sonic game that aims to evolve and expand upon the 2D Sonic formula. This game places an emphasis on freedom of movement and flow, maintian high speeds to enter boost mode to go even faster and collect rings to reduce the amount of time to enter boost mode. This is a very early build and pretty much everything is subject to change, several animations are unfinished and there may be physics bugs.

This demo includes 2 testing levels:

Test Zone is your standard open testing area where you can try out all of sonics moves. However there is an actual level here, to reach it, jump over the large slope to the right instead of going down it, you can't miss it (dont forget you can just press restart to return to the beginning). This level features several design styles from different Sonic games to test how this new Sonic plays in these environemnts

Beta Simulation Zone is recreation of Cyberspace Zone Act 1 from the Classic Sonic Simulator version, a tried and true classic Sonic styled level with percise platforming. Though it is missing a few classic objects, you'll have to get creative with Sonic's new moves to navigate it

You can play both of these levels for the best time, score and both to get an A rank

Please keep in mind these levels are just meant to test how Sonic plays and do not reflect how the real levels will be designed
