Decided to make an account just to comment on some grievances I had while playing the game:

First on the topic of sound: while I find the new tunes great, I don't get why the song for Sunrise Gate had to be redone, as I personally find it one of the most catchy and iconic tracks as far as Sonic fangames go. Would it be too much to ask for an option to switch it back?

Then there's also my biggest issue, the mixing is BAD. Sound effects drowning out the music isn't that big of an issue (although proper sliders for both music and SFX instead of a master volume option would be preferable), but some of them are just too loud, namely the spin dash, the fireworks when defeating an enemy, and the waterfalls. Lastly, the wall breaking SFX is both delayed and sounds low quality, like it was taken from an inaccurate Mega Drive emulator.

One more thing I want to add: while it wasn't that big of an issue, the rain in Granite Act 2 lagged my game quite a bit, though I'm unsure if it's because of my own hardware not being powerful enough. That's why I don't want to fault anyone working on the game.

Please don't take any of this as a personal attack on the developers or anyone contributing to this project. The thought of seeing a complete version of Overture, one of my favorite fangames of all time (amazing for a one level demo), fills me with joy. This demo does not disappoint in the slightest. Level design is great and references to old material are on point. Playable Granite? And that boss fight?!? My expectations are high and I place my hopes on all of you to continue delivering on this level of quality!
