Open Sonic (2009)

by Alexandre Martins

Open Sonic is an open source platformer featuring two playable "zones" divided into three levels each, three characters from Sonic universe (Sonic, Knuckles and Tails) and cooperative play (but limited to one activity only). While current version of the project is only 0.1.4 it is the last one named "Open Sonic". Next version, called Open Surge, will be 0.2.0 and will be completely original game, albeit using identical gameplay mechanism.

The goal in each regular level (both zones contain boss level) is to reach the destination with at least one of the three characters, collecting rings and killing enemies in the process. There's no save function, but due to relative shortness and low difficulty game can be finished in one sit.

There is also an in-built editor and tens of fanmade levels are available from project's page. Game has been translated to nine languages so far.

Discussion on our forums on Open Sonic

  • eMTe :
    Resolved. Each time I have run opensonic.exe Avast decided that it is possibly dangerous and encouraged me to open file in sandbox. Since I never had any problems with running any program that Avast considered for its mysterious reasons suspicious, via sandbox, and always clicked yes just for sake I was doing this for Open Sonic also.
  • eMTe :
    Funny. Two years passed since I played this game, I run it, get to the title screen and...my keyboard doesnt respond. Either it's a bug or some evil coincidence.
  • Pater Alf :
    "Open Sonic" is a pretty good Sonic clone. I like the level design and the fact that the characters really have to cooperate to reach the goal. Of course there are not many levels included, but if you want more, you can download several fanmade levels (I haven't checked the quality though) from the homepage or create your own ones using the editor.
  • eMTe :
    Oh, sorry.

    When was it added?
  • Pater Alf :
    [spoiler]Professional enough for me...[/spoiler]
  • Zyx :
    [spoiler]It's not professional.[/spoiler]
  • Pater Alf :
    [spoiler]But yes, we have one.[/spoiler]

    Just use [*spoiler] [*/spoiler] (without the *s of course).
  • eMTe :
    We still dont have a professional spoiler alert system.

    Btw. :)
  • Chroelle :
    Perhaps that should be a spoiler? [spoiler] :)
  • Drasir-Vel :
    I was stuck on the boss in Exotic Paradise act 3. The strategy i found worked was this:

    [spoiler]Use Knuckles, and let the shots hit you so they dont hit and blow away the floor, and then immediately get as many rings back as possible, and whenever you have time you should climb up the walls and hit him.[/spoiler]

    Edit: spoilerified it.
