    • “Amazing, it's absolutely fantastic there are no ads or microtransactions as it's owned by Netflix, and the fact you get 3 free characters to start is nice. Getting red rings is far easier as well by just leveling up and getting style bonuses.”

    • “Gave up on the free-to-play version years ago because of the monetization issues.”

  • gameplay
    48 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally praised for its fun mechanics and smooth, responsive controls, reminiscent of the Sonic Dash series, with engaging elements like character upgrades and a variety of characters. However, many users express disappointment over the limited content and lack of originality, noting that it feels like a reskin of existing games without significant new features. Recent updates have introduced new mechanics, such as tapping on badniks while airborne and swiping for bonuses, which some players find enjoyable, but others still desire more depth and variety in gameplay.

    • “The gameplay is smooth and responsive, allowing players to dash, jump, and spin their way through colorful environments inspired by Sonic's iconic universe.”
    • “Awesome gameplay! I love the way you implemented more than just collecting rings but upgrading your character. Awesome job.”
    • “Honestly, this is one of the best runner games I've ever played. The graphics are good, the gameplay is good, just everything is good. There are also no ads.”
    • “As others have mentioned, there are issues with the gameplay where if you don't have a dash saved up, you are destined to crash into something. Even compared to other similar games, there are no special sequences present in this one.”
    • “A poorly done cookie-cutter knockoff of Sonic Dash with a smaller roster and almost all of the exact same features and mechanics otherwise.”
    • “It's just a reskin, man. Although Sonic Dash did bring back so many memories, it's just not worth it. If Netflix does make new mechanics, then I might change my mind.”
  • grinding
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, players find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mixed experience. While many appreciate the absence of microtransactions and ads, they note that leveling up characters can be tedious due to the random nature of token rewards and the sporadic availability of certain characters. Some players enjoy the grind as part of the gameplay, but others feel it can become overly burdensome, especially when combined with occasional bugs and loading issues.

    • “No tedious upgrading, no ugly main menu, no distracting cards all over the track, and no heavy price tags on characters.”
    • “It's a bit tedious to level up characters since you only get a chance at a couple tokens for a random character during the style sections in between levels.”
    • “Still kinda grindy though and the tokens for certain characters are rewarded sporadically from spring jumps to where I'm not certain I'll ever get to upgrade certain characters.”
    • “Good, but too grindy.”
  • stability
    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “This may just be a reskin, but it's still better to me. I get some cool starter characters and honestly, no glitches. Sure, there are some annoying deaths, but it's an amazing game still.”

    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story aspect is criticized for its lack of depth and engagement, with players expressing a desire for a more compelling narrative and diverse missions beyond repetitive tasks.

    • “The game is good aside from there not being a story mode.”
    • “Love the storyline.”
    • “The missions should have other rewards besides gems (maybe character tokens or red stars).”

    • “It's fun ☺️ music great and nostalgic loved it.”
    • “The spinning wheel keeps giving me trash on purpose, Green Hill Zone doesn't have its original music, the missions constantly keep forcing me to wait an hour for a new one.

    • “Btw, the Sega version has the same graphics and music, etc?!”

    • “Runs smoothly and has no ads.”
    • “I really like the Sonic game, but it would be good if they optimized it because some scenes are a bit slow and not fluid.”

    • “Good game but has become slow (progress-wise, not performance-wise) and almost a chore now that I'm done with Snow Mountain. Please either double the amount of red rings we receive or lower the cost of all red ring items.”
