The best Sonic clone I have ever seen: Freedom Planet

Freedom Planet is an indie game made by Galaxy Trail. When watching the video above, you can immediately see the Genesis/MegaDrive era Sonic inspirations from the gorgeous colors to the clever level design. The game also seems to borrow from titles such as Rocket Knight Adventures with its diagonal maneuvers, and also Ristar, seeing as the mini-boss is simply a palette swap from one of Ristar’s enemies. I for one am excited for the final form of Freedom Planet, as there are many Sonic clones out there, but none so unique as this. Take a gander at the Freedom Planet website to get sucked into the game’s universe. Is anyone else currently downloading the demo?
