Impulse is a 2D platformer inspired by classic Sonic the Hedgehog, with speedy momentum-based movement and 360-degree slopes and loop de loops.  As this is a prototype, there is one level, but it's pretty big, with lots of hidden coins to find for those  who like to explore.

I created this in Unity using my own raycast engine for handling slope detection and high-speed collision. I made this mostly for practice, but I may develop it further in the future. I'm a huge fan of the classic 2D Sonic games and their momentum-based physics!

I hope you all enjoy the game and would love to hear feedback!

If anyone is having issues with the in-browser framerate, I added downloads for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux builds, which may run more smoothly on your computer. Feel free to give the downloadable version a try!
