Overview
Sonic Re;Velocity is a 2D Sonic fan game with a heavy focus on high-speed momentum and stupidly fast platforming, with a simple control style, a unique gameplay style and a strange emphasis on going as fast as hedgehogly possible.
Sonic Re;Velocity started life as an earlier project, known as Green Hill Zone Simulator, a joke Sonic fan game built for the RAGE 2024 event.
Sonic Re;Velocity is built in Godot Engine v4.2 and is free software under the GNU General Public License 3.0, or, at your option, any later version. You can view Sonic Re;Velocity's source code at GitHub.
Sonic Re;Velocity is now on itch.io! Future updates will be on there - this SFGHQ Showcase page will be kept on version 0.1.1 for posterity reasons (it was at SAGE, after all).
Old download counts before the v0.1.1 update:
Techniques
Wall Jump
Wall jumping is a holdover from Green Hill Zone Simulator, where Sonic can rebound and kick off a wall that's wall jumpable (in GHZSim it was any wall, but SR;V it's only jumpable walls) and send himself in the opposite direction, useful for scaling up walls quickly.
Quick Spin
The Quick Spin is a simple yet powerful technique, where Sonic briefly curls up into a ball and performs a lightning-fast Spin Dash, boosting his speed or changing his direction.
To perform the Quick Spin, simply press the Spin button (B on an Xbox controller) while pressing a movement direction.
Variations on the Quick Spin can be used by pressing a different movement direction (opposite direction for Quick Spin Reversal, forward-down direction mid-air for Quick Spin Comet, etc.).
Velocity Gauge & Velocity State
The Velocity Gauge is the gauge with the word "VELOCITY" on the top left of the
game window, underneath the Speed Gauge.
It goes up as Sonic runs and continuously goes down over time. When the Velocity
Gauge is full, Sonic enters Velocity State, granting him:
