Simple and very nice!
i wonder if adding the possibility to lose the rings and die only when hit while having no rings left just like in a real Sonic game would add more fun.

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?
As noted the story got second chanced.
The comment I made was (as of now) made three dayas ago, I addressed a brand new account that made a run of "cookie cutter" comments on older threads at the least active HN time (my peak reading time zone in Australia).
There are runs of such things, often much more obvious, "insincere" pretend engagement to bed a new account in prior to using it in a gang to promote | vote up other material.
HN likes a good signal to noise ratio and not cheap hype accounts.
I engaged in order to see if was being run by a human paying attention - I (an ordinary user) seem to have been given extraordinary ban abilities - I've [flag]'d a lot of obvious bot comments in past months and now anything I flag turns [dead] _immediately_.
Clearly I've been blessed with an extraordinary mini-mod super power and I prefer to exercise it with caution and check whether an account is bot or not before killing it.
This I'm leaving, there are eyeballs and attention which gets others to look at new accounts with fresh eyes and wider community involvement.

Ah - thanks for the heads up! Been on HN for 14+ yrs and first time I noticed that ;)

What’s the relevance of this comment? Why does it matter if it’s ai or not? Plenty of people only read titles
I mostly read comments :) I care very much that someone more attentive than me point out if a comment is machine generated.

#25If SEGA have a problem with it, I say you swap the sprites for steamboat willie.
SEGA are one of the most willing companies to look the other way on fan games.

#26I really don't like the camera shifting on jump. Can that be a toggle?

#27Slick. I thought it was too slow at first, but that changed. Love the parallax scrolling background. Might I suggest a remix of Chemical Plant Zone for background music instead of traffic noises? I like this one: https://ocremix.org/remix/OCR04552
That remix absolutely rules . Thanks for the link!
Do yourself a favor and spend some time just browsing OverClocked ReMix. After 25 years, there is a ton of content on the site, and it is just one of the best communities on the internet.

Nah, I think a lot of people read comments.
Personally sometimes I don't even read the article, I only read the comments
