When I saw that Sonic 1 was receiving an update, I was excited as I thought that they would fix the glitch where the Game Center achievement “Beat the Clock” would not be distributed. However, after the update, I was shocked to see that it created more problems than fixes. Not only was the Game Center achievement still broken, but the update also added multiple new problems. The file select now shows 7 Chaos Emeralds, yet only 6 can be acquired through normal gameplay. And if the player goes into a Giant ring at the end of Act 1, after the special stage ends or they collect a Chaos Emerald, it takes the player to Act 3 and skips Act 2. Also, a completed file now says “Special Stage 1”, but selecting the file takes you to the “Stage Select” screen. To make matters worse, the Time Trial mode is completely broken. Each zone only contains 2 acts instead of the 3, and different zones will be merged with other zone selections (Ex: Green Hill zone Act 3 in the Marble zone selection). I am very disappointed with this update for Sonic 1, as I was hoping that things would improve much more as time went on. I hope that these issues are resolved as quickly as possible.

There is a glitch in Spring Yard act 3 that makes it impossible to pass the act. After beating Robotnik and opening the animal capsule, Sonic runs off the right edge of the screen and dies while the animals are jumping out of the capsule. This was not a one time glitch. This happened three times in a row and I got a game over. I also noticed that you can see the edge of the game window during the end of special stage score screen. I believe the edge of the game window does not extend far enough on the iPhone XS screen, allowing Sonic to run past the edge of the game window and fall off the right edge of the level and die, or some similar behavior. A previous review addressed the same issue and the developer response was the dev tram was aware of the problem and working on it. That was 8 months ago and the problem is still present, despite a game patch coming out one month ago. As a software dev myself, I am embarrassed of such unprofessional work. Please patch this glitch so I may update my one-star review. Addendum: on iPhone SE, the game runs super-slow, like at 75% speed. What is with all these bugs?

I would enjoy this game a lot, if I actually got to play the game! There are so many ads it literally crashes my game before I even reach the "Start Game" button. I can hardly complete a stage, because whenever I try I always crash and have to restart my game. It's so bad that if an ad is over 10 seconds long it goes right back to the starting screen. Like seriously SEGA and Christian Whitehead you can do much better than this. I managed to beat the game, but I no longer want to play it ever again yet alone put my hands on this game ever again when all I know I'll be getting is ads all over the place. Also why does anyone need to pay to get no ads, I wouldn't mind the ads if they didn't ruin the game and the overall gameplay experience, but buying no ads in this game seems almost mandatory with the fact that there are ads everywhere. Honestly, if ads are ever used in games it should be done correctly and should never affect the gaming experience, and this is a perfect example of how not to use ads in games.
