OVERVIEW
Easily the best 3D Crash Bandicoot fangame there is, at the moment.
It's not perfect, it needs some bug fixing and polishing here and there (animations, graphics, hitboxes, physics, etc.).
The game is a pretty faithful recreation of the original Crash 2/3 PS1 engine, with some tweaks here and there to adapt it to modern standards (specifically the controls and the jump physics, which resemble more the ones of Crash 4: IAT).
The new "hit and run" Uka Uka time challenges are also cool and fun to play (even though I think Uka Uka slows you down a bit too much, the added distance you can reach thanks to him is way too short imo).
This is what I like to see in fangames. Simple yet working ideas that don't overdo anything.
The implementation of a level editor is also very appreciated (although I wish we could also make 3D levels and not just 2D ones), and helps the game remain fresh and relevant.
The level editor itself also looks and works great, although its UI could be redesigned a bit, the sidebars are a bit too limited and having to scroll every few seconds to find the desired asset is a bit tedious and time wasting (such a simple and limited design would work more on a portable device's screen rather a TV/monitor, imo).
BUG REPORT
1) During the "anti piracy" copyright screen, I can already select the options from the title screen.
This means I could press the X button in an attempt to skip it, but I end up accidentally selecting "New Game" and possibly overwriting my existing save and losing my progress (auto-save is enabled by default).
2) I don't know if this got fixed already, but some time ago (in version 0.92, if I'm not mistaken), I was making an hard level in the level creator.
I have the habit of saving MANY times while making a project, but doing so here resulted in me getting an error message on screen at some point, with my level's data becoming corrupted, forcing me to delete it.
FINAL VERDICT
Best 3D Crash fangame there is, and one of the absolute best in general.
If you keep updating and polishing this game, it might actually become an important staple of the Crash community and a meeting place for everyone who loves the PS1 Crash games.
