NAME
opensonic - Open Sonic, game based on the "Sonic the Hedgehog" universe

SYNOPSIS
opensonic [options ...]

DESCRIPTION
Open Sonic is an open-source game based on the "Sonic the Hedgehog" universe.
It introduces a different style of gameplay called cooperative play, in which it's possible to control 3 characters simultaneously. Unlike most similar games, Open Sonic provides a greater level of interaction between the player and the levels. It's more than just a jump'n'run; the user must come up with some strategy in order to get through the levels. Main features:
* Sonic-style physics (360 movement engine)
* Available in 9 languages: English, Portuguese, French, Polish, German, Czech, Dutch, Indonesian, Italian
* 2 levels + innovative items + extras (check opensonic-extra for more levels)
* You can create your own levels using the level editor
* You can make your own custom items, enemies and bosses using our object scripting system
* MODdable capabilities
* Good performance even on old computers
It's been some time since we're replacing all the "ripped" content by original user-made resources. Things are moving forward, but there is still some work to do. We need more contributors. Check out our website for more information.
