The rings are in jumping just before an enemy touches you. If you time it right you don't have to jump "on" them. Although sometimes this will throw you into an unavoidable collision. I'd suggest adding a state transition on sonic that only let's the character destroy enemies when coming down from the peak of the jump. Or else make it a double click to be able to destroy enemies from take off as a special trick move.…

I dunno, the roll-jump-attack method is really fun! I like that it's a bit of a game of chicken. Not really true to sonic but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thanks!

The jumping right before hitting an enemy is intended. If you do this, you can then more reliably land on another enemy right after and gain a x2, x3, etc... combo depending on how many enemies you land on before hitting the ground again.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Are you training an AI @ Sendler.ai to make insipid low value comments on days old threads in order to astroturf this account for later boosting of your submissions? I mean, it looks like that: https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=ramiborni99 but that's surely a mistake on my part?

It's odd that the post shows as being only a few hours old, but the comments from ramiborni99 as 3 days old when viewed from the above link (here it shows not as old)? Similarly, your comment shows as a few minutes old, but showing as 3 days old when I view the threads from the above link... Very odd @dang - what's going on with the timing on these comments and posts when viewed from the user thread link?

Usually this means the story is in the second-chance pool. I'm sure more information will come up if you search "second-chance pool", dang has posted about it before.

FYI `@dang` is a no-op. To contact dang send an email, he's quite responsive.
