This is a review FOR THE ANDROID PORT ONLY. And it's AMAZING. It was about time, but you REALLY cooked a 5-star meal! Just as I remember it, but on mobile! I just wish you could completely disable the on-screen controls to play with a gamepad and avoid accidental touch screen touches.

What our users are saying
The game is amazing! The physics are perfect and very reminiscent of Sonic Advance. I would say that Surge's physics are even better at times. The engine seems to be amazing, so users have a good engine and a fun game in the same app. Congratulations on the great work! I can't wait to try the engine for Windows.
An amazing game engine with an equally cool game attached. The game is fun to play, and I hope to see where it ends up once it's completed. I especially like how easy it is to make mods for the engine.
I just wanted to say bravo to the team for making this project. Finally being able to play this on my Android device felt amazing, and the controls were smooth!
What can I say? -Wonderful pixelart, good level design, great music, fun gameplay, Sonic-inspired, it's friggin radical, love it!!! 'nuff said.
