I was over here watching a video when I see I got ping by a fake account saying i got a restriction on my account and for a moment i was a little tired that i was scared.

I thought I was in trouble since it it like 6 in the morning and then after doing a second take i saw that this was not Tumblr staff or anyone official here because this was proof of a scam or something along those lines.

I just started using Tumblr again and I see somethings never change. if this was a real thing, i would gotten a email from Tumblr, yeah? Also "c0m"

I have to assume this is a scam that would steal your info or login or give you a virus, it could be all 3 at once. i guess these scammers or bots ping you once a post has high activity in engagement or posting.

Seems the link redirects you to some odd site and that's all i need to know. It is crazy out here and at least i know what to look out for. and the ping spam...

So, let’s get the gaming hat on and talk about a Retroachievements set called Super Jack that was released on RA, and this was a pretty fun retro set to do after getting back into doing Retroachievements after being away for a few months.

This RetroAchievements set was made by caricatur, who is no longer active within the retroachievements community, and has worked on 36 achievement sets; only Super Jack stands out to me, and maybe the other sets are good, but those are blog posts for another time. Super Jack was made by G_Club Software in October 1988, and the game has another name that it went by, and it is “スーパージャック“.

I will say, since this is an adult game that is no longer on the market or being sold, I will not be linking any sites to find such content, and the internet and Google are your friend if you are interested in finding such media out there.

What is Super Jack?

Super Jack is strip blackjack for the pc88 console, where you play strip blackjack with the dealer, who has a threshold of wins you need to meet to beat her level to remove a piece of clothing, and once you beat all 6 levels, you win. The game is very short and can be done in one sitting.

It has good CG, a cute anime girl, and booba, and a fun blackjack engine, but it is simple, and there is no need to be over the top with the game, as it is an adult game back when some consoles were made for adults and not children.

Gameplay – The game while adult is still blackjack and you have your stand button and hit button and when you start the game with stage 1 you need to get five points to win and each new stage adding to the total of points to clear a level by 1 extra point. Losing to the dealer, the dealer’s blackjack, or going over 21 takes one point from you. And winning earns you a point, and winning with a blackjack earns you two points.

What is Super Jack’s Retroachievements like?

The Retroachievements for this set will vary on your luck, skill, and RNG, depending on whether the dealer is playing poorly. So let’s begin: this is Super Jack, and the first achievement set is simple and will help you learn the game, which is beating the game and beating level 6. Losing all of your points on a stage will not give you a game over but will lower your level, and when you lose your points on level one, that is when you will get a game over.

Beat the game achievements

So here are the basic achievements that are easy and don’t need much effort to unlock, and beating the game is not that hard once you get it down and understand, and it is still blackjack where you hit and stand. Nothing new there, but that is later on for the last achievement. These are fair and simple, and you should have no problem doing these at all.

I'm glad i can bully this train because the number of times this train bullied me back when i was weak was crazy. No, i'm not holding a grudge. (>.>)/

Enjoy the short video of me bonking the silly train in Nikke union raid. Made this video for my friends but now it is for you too. I had to redownload davinci resolve because the video audio was on a different track since tumblr can read and see one video track and audio track. In short, the video was soundless.

I got to play a new Sonic game I had never heard of until last week called “Untitled Sonic Fangame,” and the reason I found out about this game was that the dev found me on Discord from a Sonic Boom speedrun I did years ago.

I will show the message, as it does a better job at showing how this all came to be, and the game dev is really nice. They seem like a good person. I had a nice chat with them, and they wanted me to try out their game. I will do them one better: I will blog about the game and give you as much feedback as possible. And talk about this cool Sonic fan game, and it needs more of a spotlight, and I hope I can give the game that light!

What is Untitled Sonic Fangame?

Untitled Sonic Fangame is a 2D Sonic fan game created by LiquaFusion. It’s a 2d platformer that has elements that remind me of the Sonic 2 rom hack, Sonic Boom, where Sonic is insanely fast and has a ton of moves, and this fan game has some of the same energy as Sonic Boom, but it does its own thing at the end of the day.

Story – Dr. Robotnik has returned, and he is back to no good. On the hunt for the emeralds while unleashing his army of robots and badniks on the island, Sonic and Tails must put a stop to Dr. Robotnik and his plans. The game has Sonic 3 storytelling, where there is no talking, only action.

Gameplay – In Untitled Sonic Fangame, you have insane speed, jumps, and spindash that have levels of charge rather than a normal spindash that gets strong or weak. You have a dash that acts as a dodge, think insta shield and it can be used for movement to go faster or gain height, or to land faster and the power to roll which that and jumping has been tied to a energy meter which, if the meter runs out, sonic will uncurl but your energy is restored when on the ground or not doing a action like jumping or rolling.

That’s all the skills that Sonic has aside from the homing attack and wall jumping; that’s all you need to know, and the game has 3 power ups to get. The invincible powerup, where you can’t be hurt but you can harm enemies, the lightning shield can draw in rings and be used as an extra hit. It misses its feature to be able to double jump, but with how Sonic is, maybe it is better, and the slowmo powerup that slows down everything down but Sonic, which allows you to have a bigger window for mistakes.

Technically, the ring monitor is a power-up, too, but it is ten rings in a box. There are 4 powerups, and with this out of the way we can talk about the game, not counting the tutorial, the game follows a two act rule that follows up with a boss in the zone. Each act will start with 3 minutes on the clock, and it will slowly count down to 0:00, where you get a time over. But should you reach a checkpoint, it will set your time back to 3 mins or 2:59.

The game in motion is fast, fun, and amazing. The levels are from Sonic 3, but it adds a twist to the level design, making sure there is never a one-to-one copy, and I like that. And after the levels, you face off with a boss in the Sonic Advance 2 style, where you are always on the move. And the boss fights are fun, and unique, and they have a pattern, but one that is easy to pick up on. The game does not have lives, much like the Sonic Boom hack, and there is a limit on rings.

In this fan game, Sonic can hold 100 rings at a time and when you get hit you lose 50 rings rather then all of them and getting is no issue as they are a ton of rings to find and collect in each level and you get 3 fun zones to play and try out and there is a secret fourth zone you unlock by beating the game on hard mode. Technically, Zone 0, the tutorial, is a big act that holds all 3 acts of Green Hill Zone in one level.

Difficulty – The game is fun and challenging, and nothing in this game is going to make you pull out your hair and you can select the type of difficulty that fits you and the game will adjust the levels to the difficulty, playing on easy and normal feels the same beside in easy difficulty, rings bounce when you get hit where in normal, they fall through the floor. Hard mode is no rings and no shields.

Controls – The controls feel right; you have a lot of control here. You feel both floaty and heavy, which is not a bad thing. Floaty helps with the platforming and bosses, which gives you a little extra room for error, and feeling heavy is good, which keeps you from feeling too floaty. The controls feel great, but I wish you could roll by pressing down on the dpad. The number of times I did that, and Sonic stood there, hurt.

Presentation – The game looks nice, the music is an interesting choice, not my type of music, but it is not bad, and the hud is pretty cool, and there is not too much to add here as I am talking about a fan game that uses existing assets but even then, they still look nice.

Things I liked in the demo

I love the high speed in the stages

I like Sonic’s move set

The boss battles are fun to learn

The music is pretty good

The controls are responsive

Things I disliked

Sonic having only 100 rings at a time is something I did not like

This is an odd choice to limit rings to 100 when there are more than 100 rings in a stage. What’s the point of having all these rings in a stage you can’t collect after 100 rings?

Unable to hit enemies while having iframes

The energy meter is something I do not like at all

Sonic’s actions (Jumping, rolling) being bound to energy, which forces him to uncurl when his energy is low, is annoying, but I can see this as a nitpick of mine

You can die when you have less than 25 rings, and you lose 50 rings when getting hit, which is something I don’t understand here.

This is something I am still confused about: why not lose the rings on getting hit instead of dying? I don’t get dying with less than 25 rings, and I get it (25, 50, 75, 100)

I say this because you already lose double the amount of rings, and you need 25 rings to stay alive, which the whole point of the ring system. As long as you hold one ring, you have a chance, but I feel this system will annoy players outside this bubble.

I can see you losing double the rings during a boss battle, but in stages, I don’t know about this. Again, not big on this ring system.

Final thoughts

Untitled Sonic Fangame is an interesting game that does a lot of things, from fun controls to good bosses, even though those bosses are Mega Man enemies, nothing wrong there, but there are some things I don’t fully agree with in this fan game, and that’s okay. There are a lot of good ideas in this game, and the stages are fun, but the more I played, the more I felt like I was playing a Fangame of Sonic Boom [hack].

The idea is there, and all it needs is a bit more touching up. Even though I have my issues with the fan game and how things are done here, I still had a fun time playing this fan game. I even played this on hard mode to see the next zone that is a work in progress, and that was pretty fun. At least for me, I enjoyed the game, and I had fun seeing the set pieces on a stage, the classic Sonic games, which made me smile. I can agree with the dev that this would be a fun game to speedrun or watch a TAS play it.

I had a fun time, and it was great. I got to revisit Sonic Boom [hack] in fangame form, and this can stand on its own but with how it plays, it is going to be a good fan game, and the dev knows what they are doing, and I wish them the best in this game. This will be a game I will speedrun because it is fun.
