www.sonicwrecks.com/news/dashing-to-ios-tonight-sonic-dash/So this is out tomorrow. Looks very addictive! Anyone enthused by this? I would be if it were for android too. Will just have to wait and see. Check out that sonic picture, though! Yeesh... looks like he's uh, dashing to hospital as he's broken both of his arms! Hehehe...

So this is now free. ...It's got Sonic in it, yes it does.
Edit: Here's how this game goes. "Oh, okay, seems pretty self-explanatory... that's cool. He's running, that's cool... oh, okay, I had literally no way of seeing that coming because it was on a downward slope. I would have thought they'd have packed that bull[censored] in after Sonic 2, but alright. Red Ring to revive? Okay. Carrying on... oh, okay, you're dedicated to a jump arc making it impossible to jump over these tightly-packed obstacles. Well, [censored], another Red Ring then- oh, I'm out. £2.49 for another!? [censored] that! Loading, loading, loading... okay, starting again, I know what's up now... oh, cocked up, dead again. ...Where's the restart button? Has this thing frozen?"

Oh, that might work, cheers. It turns out you can continuously roll by swiping down rapidly which is helpful as well. I dunno, it might be fun, but I'm playing on an iPhone and the slowdown and loading is horrendous. Plus the thing feels like a molten rock.

It's often almost unfathomably slow on my iPod too so it's not just you. It comes in fits and starts but it's noticeably better since the update. Hopefully a further update will improve it some more. The loading is no better. The obstacle placement and "unfair deaths" have absolutely not been fixed despite the update claiming otherwise. Other than that, it's a fun bit of Temple Running.

I don't see why you wouldn't just play Temple Run considering. It's the classic Sonic trap of spectacle over gameplay: sure the loops and twists look nice, but they make navigation impossible in places.

I actually play Temple Run a lot... Pretty much because this isn't out on Android. I can see why Sega would think reskinning the game with Sonic characters would be a good bet. I mean, it is a load of running, after all.... I probably would give this a go, especially if it were free on Android. I suppose they finally saw sense and realised they couldn't charge for the game and have all those microtransactions!

Is this just sideways Sonic Jump? :T

It's better than Sonic Jump by virtue of it not being Sonic Jump, but overall I can't recommend this. If you're wanting quick, on-the-go fun there are dozens of other free iOS games that are infinitely more fun and don't rely on you chucking cash at it for anything interesting to happen.

I... I like Sonic Jump.... Anyways, nah Jump is 2D. When the initial rumour came out, from just the name I thought Dash would be pretty much a sideways Jump, sort of like Sonic the Sketchhog. That would have been sweet.

I think the original Sonic Jump was better than the iOS one but that's just me.

Sonic Jump just reminded me a lot of that Sonic Chaos special stage. You know the one.

Sonic Dash is out on Android now. Even though I accidently bought Tails (SERIOUSLY WHY WOULD ANY ONE WANT TO PLAY AS TAILS WHEN YOU HAVEN'T UNLOCKED KNUCKLES?) its still the best Sonic game I've played this year. Congratulations Sonic Dash. Congratulations.

Im addicted to Sonic Dash. It reminds me of the Sonic 2 Special Stage.
I've got Tails, Amy and Knuckles. The latter I won in the daily spin bweee!
It says there's a Christmas challenge but I don't see it on mine...
