Did you ever wonder why we added wall running to #SuperLeapDay? apple.co/-SuperLeapDay A long time ago we pitched a #Sonic take on the Leap Day format. Sadly the #SEGA gods did not see the potential. But we did make this demo and we liked the mechanic so decided to keep it.

The plan was that like LeapDay every day was a brand new zone. With everyone competing on the same short new Act. Daily Chaos Emeralds could be earned. Players who earned all 7 would be rewarded with Supersonic at the end of the week. A one off Super fast Speed run competition?

One thing we couldn’t get to work when we made the demo was a way to get sonic to roll on the floor within the one button limitation. We did later come up with a solution though when we were experimenting in Super Leap Day. Goop here rolls as long as you hold down. Works well!
