Tails Adventure is a Sonic the Hedgehog spin-off adventure game, released for Sega Game Gear in 1995. Unlike classic Sonic gameplay, Tails Adventure is a slow-paced platformer with focus on solving puzzles, backtracking and collecting items, much like metroidvania games.
This project tries to completely rewrite Tails Adventure to provide a better way to play it on modern platforms, as well as implement some improvements to original gameplay.
- Higher difficulty that original
- 16:9 widescreen
- Displays pixels on "fractional" positions for smoother gameplay
- Gamepad controls with analog stick support
- Supports high refresh rate displays
- Save system without password
- Pause menu and options menu
