The theme for May’s experimental gameplay project was “high speed”. My idea was to do a modern re-envisioning of sonic the hedgehog. I got started a little late and this entry is still a work in progress. At this point the level design is still not complete and there is no real end to the level. There are a few more object types that will also open up gameplay and add depth (boost pads, loops, scenery, check points).

Hello. I have played this game before and I very much enjoyed it, but when I tried to download it on my laptop, I would open up the .zip and extract the .exe to a folder on my desktop and try to run it and it said d3dx9_36.dll was not found and said I should re-install. But I never actually installed anything. Did I miss something? Thanks in advance!
You need to update DirectX. This link should take you to Microsoft’s site where you can download the latest version:
