The existence of the stamina isn't a noble thing, it's just so they can keep getting players to come back and not finish the existing content quickly
#Sonic Mobile Games
peak wharf
For something where the only daily gameplay loop is to farm materials, I don't care
quartz island
Because they make replaying something cost the same as a new stage
ashen knot
issue is this game has levels
and you're supposed to replay them for S ranks
and replaying also uses energy
slender panther
If game has real substantial content and an actual sense of progression and difficulty, its not hard to bring players back with a stamina system
quartz island
The existence of the stamina isn't a noble thing, it's just so they can keep get...
Oh and ofc to get desperate people to buy stamina
slender panther
Problem is, sonic mobile game dont got content people gaf about
peak wharf
Games like Fortnite or Asphalt or Overwatch have you buying battle passes or loot boxes for skins that you can't reasonably get at a decent rate just from playing the game
quartz island
I know some gacha games approach it differently. They give you enough stamina initially to beat the main game content relatively quickly
shell walrus
it’s funny because the daily challenge still has the lives system the energy bar basically has no damn purpose
quartz island
Then if u are a committed player who just plays daily for a bit
The stamina locks u out from grinding meta too much
peak wharf
The thing is that most modern gacha don't really require stamina to do the main content, it's just for building characters
slender panther
I know some gacha games approach it differently. They give you enough stamina in...
Its more like, they trick you with the option of using the free gacha pull currency you earned from stages to blow off on recieving extra stamina
And players learn the hard way self restraint
peak wharf
And some of the ones who do have a stamina system let you save the stamina that you didn't use if you don't play the game while it's full
quartz island
Basically they do what they can to sucker you in until you are too deep to drop it
This game
And how it currently looks
Will have a hard time suckering anybody in
slender panther
It doesnt look good enough to justify anyone staying around longterm
quartz island
It's got the depth of Sonic Dash and Sonic Jump over a decade later
slender panther
No bikini women, no hype moments aura, no love and deepspace just sonic jump
quartz island
Idk Rovio is just constantly after this hyper casual audience
And I don't think sega gets how much of a turn off that can be
For Sonic
peak wharf
The only real appeal I can see from this is the obscure characters
hallow forge
these games are mostly to promote the brand
slender panther
Hyper casual mobile gamer audience been on a decline and I dont think they realize
hallow forge
if they really wanted to make a groundbreaking mobile experience they would've done it already
these are just to say hey sonic is also on your phone
slender panther
these games are mostly to promote the brand
And it takes money to have these games up, they hope it'll have returns
If its not doing enough to make returns
Its eos
hallow forge
yeah but these games are prolly very cheap to make
is why there isn't anything crazy going on
shell walrus
they gotta stop putting these games online 😭
quartz island
Sonic Dash only succeeded because
1- The Temple Run kind of game is pretty addictive, it fits Sonic's theming, and it's got no restrictions. Ofc it barely makes them any money as a result
slender panther
yeah but these games are prolly very cheap to make
Not cheap enough that rumbles near filing bankruptcy each Sammy report
hallow forge
Rumble is the only one that seemed to be the THING for sega with sonic mobile games
just like Runners at the time
shell walrus
They were definitely really pushing for rumble
but at the same time SEGA’s more involved with that game’s development
hallow forge
exactly
shell walrus
Rovio’s, like, involved, but it’s clear they don’t hold as much power in what goes on with that game as they do with Blitz which was directly listed under them in the App Store
hallow forge
blitz, forces speed battle and dash are just casual games that prolly get stable revenue
rumble is the only one where they really wanted to go serious to this market
quartz island
Hyper casual mobile gamer audience been on a decline and I dont think they reali...
They want the candy crush, stumble guys and clash of clans style of glory because like... Ofc any game company would be jealous of these unfathomably large nothing burger titles
hallow forge
just like forces and dash is most likely gonna be full of ads too
hallow forge
They want the candy crush, stumble guys and clash of clans style of glory becaus...
even then, those games were since the beginning of smartphones
I think they're coming in pretty late
quartz island
If they couldn't sustain a game like Runners what chances do they have with these, lol
slender panther
Blitz is in an odd spot that I think it really needs to sell itself to differentiate from speed battle and dash
Like the total gameplay overhaul is good, it means they realize this shit would be dead as hell as a card game but im still not sure it'll be enough
hallow forge
the only way for them to really hit to the market now is if they do some hoyoverse type of game
shell walrus
If they couldn't sustain a game like Runners what chances do they have with thes...
I mean Runners only lasted a year give or take
shell walrus
rumble’s technically been around for almost two (depending on whether or not they make it to September lmfao)
hallow forge
the only thing with rumble at least official wise is that the game does get revenue but there is not actual new players staying
shell walrus
oh shit this month is actually the two year anniversary of its announcement 💀
quartz island
If this game had a pixel artstyle like how they were advertising it in those ai generated presentations, I bet you more people would be invested
slender panther
I want to see Marine and kit and then it can fuck off
shell walrus
what about omega
slender panther
Bro has better chances in blitz atp
hallow forge
If this game had a pixel artstyle like how they were advertising it in those ai ...
which one, rumble?
shell walrus
Bro has better chances in blitz atp
What a awful thing to say
quartz island
Blitz
quartz island
Is it?
slender panther
What a awful thing to say
Its truth, like wym gemerl getting into rumble before omega
quartz island
How's the reception in the server?
hallow forge
is pretty similar to how the hardlight games look tho but
is not really a bad thing imo
quartz island
I mean
deep silo
It kind of is when you make it in 2026
hallow forge
i'd say rumble looks a little worse
quartz island
Sonic Dash is 13 years old
deep silo
Now that's insane
quartz island
And this looks so much like Dash
slender panther
Davih you just be saying anything these days brah
slender panther
We not either
twilit dune
you’re still wrong son LMAO
quartz island
Who said I am either
twilit dune
what are you talking about
hallow forge
you asked me if I played it
hallow forge
quartz island
If you are doing lower res mobile games
Lost World asset flipping is better than agend
And Rumble didn't even asset flip they just made everything from scratch
shell walrus
Gens has green hill™ so it automatically takes priority
slender panther
Ermmmm
hallow forge
twilit dune
Lost World also has green hill tho
that’s enough out of you today
spitting utter nonsense ‼️‼️💯💯👴🏻
ashen knot
I think blitz is fine as it is right now ngl
aside from waiting 50 minutes to play a level once
peak wharf
It's crazy how you can tell someone that the left is dash and they'd probably believe you
twilit dune
Bro has better chances in blitz atp
realized he’s right fucking there 😭
quartz island
Lmaoo
ashen knot
It's crazy how you can tell someone that the left is dash and they'd probably be...
well I now I wish dash had a story mode
in fact it did
s/club
ashen knot
but they didn't release it outside of japan and then axed it
quartz island
Agemo
ashen knot
twilit dune
ashen knot
and now it's just completely unplayable
quartz island
All these story modes are just text bubbles
ashen knot
hardlight please stop rereleasing base dash 50 times and bring back club
quartz island
I bet u they advertising a story, but the most they will ever do is a bunch splash screen cutscenes because it's Rovio
Idk man
Hardlight needs to take Dream Team and make a live service thing out of it
ashen knot
if you can keep boom dash running you could do the same for dash club
twilit dune
this is really all Rovio is worth huh
quartz island
Basically
They'vr been in a downward spiral since the late 2010s
When they decide to go for cheap wins rather than quality
wheat hollow
buying them in general still just baffles me
would love to know what the thought process behind that was because evidently it isn't paying off 
did they have that much faith in angry birds
ashen knot
I want
knotty flicker
Alpha vs alpha
i think even in alpha rumble had more personality
hallow forge
buying them in general still just baffles me
pretty random tbh
quartz island
would love to know what the thought process behind that was because evidently it...
Tbh with you, I think they just wanted a big mobile publisher, and everybody else was too out of budget. They were probably just hoping that the angry birds stay evergreen (I'm sure they pop back up a bit with the 3rd movie), but I feel like that franchise is losing steam day by day for a while now
For what it's worth

brittle prism
was on the train home with mates and one of them showed me UNO on android and you know what, I semi take it back, I have now glanced into full unadulterated evil
quartz island
I imagined that within the first year of acquiring Rovio that sega would start putting console Angry Birds games out
But they are still talking about it to no avail
Cause apparently any trivial angry birds project needs years of approvals I guess
Just cannot act fast for shit
brittle prism

actually genuinely insane how that’s structured and I think the execs responsible should burn in hell
hallow forge
I don't think their priority was just angry birds
most likely an easier way to put their ips into mobile
brittle prism
what do you mean playing a round of uno costs ingame currency which then has to be replenished through watching ads and playing a completely different food merging game
ashen knot
they actually followed you
brittle prism
what do you mean you get card packs for playing uno matches which you then sell on an ingame marketplace for more coins?? To play uno???
slender panther
they actually followed you
I love sonic dash
quartz island
What in the malware is this
peak wharf
There was something like that with animal crossing, pretty sure
ashen knot
I love sonic dash
we gotta revive dash club somehow
hallow forge
what about Dash 2
hallow forge
no dash club for it
brittle prism
not even a person, referring to that mf as an it
unique delta
He looks fine?
hallow forge
looks about the same to me
ashen knot
the blitz journey menu totally means we're getting another version of sonic jump
and maybe this time they won't cancel cosmic zone
ya know I just realized
we have all of team rose
sonic and tails
and then instead of knuckles
mighty
unique delta
Too busy guarding the M.E, I guess
tardy coral
No
ashen knot
ok
quartz island
So this is literally a grind fiesta beta
If u wanna get all s rank
Because it doesn't seem like you power up as fast as they do
And for s rank it seems you need everyone alive and to finish the fight quickly
And it doesn't seem possible without significant level ups
Im gonna be totally honest
TCG was more fun, but this way easier for them to monetize
ashen knot
would be fine if I was actually able to grind instead of WAITING
dense anchor
can anyone dm me with the Blitz apk? I'm curious about this even though it's a barebones version. I want to run it on bluestacks
quartz island
Cheesed the fuck out of that last fight lol
Apparently if u get a bonus card in the special stage, it has no cooldown so you can just spam it
So I just had Sonic dash back and forth around Eggman lol
shell walrus
fuck that fucking game man they got people arguing over electricity vs wind again
unique delta
Lol
tardy coral
It’s the movies fault
unique delta
More like Sonic Team's fault for adapting it into the games
wheat hollow
it's the fans fault for being stupid enough to argue about it for the fiftieth time
brittle prism
it is you, the reader's, fault for seeing fans argue over elements and not simply closing the tab to zork it silly style instead
"I prefer lightning!" "no, wind is best!" i prefer WOMEN KISSING‼️‼️
hallow forge
is the game
toxic lotus
"I prefer lightning!" "no, wind is best!" i prefer ***WOMEN KISSING***‼️‼️
Real true and based i need to draw this sometime

What else to do when you're a Sonic fan?
jagged obsidian
I’m not gonna like, this actually looks kinda fun
Visuals are definetly concerning, but I’d argue that it looks slightly better than Rumble
But only slightly
However, I like that they’re trying the whole RPG thing again considering they’ve only done it once
Oh ok never fucking mind I guess

One step closer to the inevitable Deltarune collab...

what if we're getting toy story in rumble
Toy Story in Sonic Toys Party... it's not happening because it would be very fitting
