Speedy the Rollerskater: SMS Edition

About

Speedy the Rollerskater SMS Edition is a platformer built on the Open Surge Engine, reworking the original game with tweaks and fixes. You play as Speedy, dodging obstacles and enemies across levels like sunlit beaches, jungle paths, and a candy factory. The goal is to stop Iceman from freezing the island by skating through increasingly complex stages that mix jumps, rolling, and enemy encounters. The game keeps things simple but demands precise timing and quick reflexes. This version introduces a revised storyline through its 'What If' scenario, altering key moments from the original. Developer SynfigMaster91 streamlined the experience while retaining the retro charm. The level design stands out, with each area offering distinct visuals and challenges. Though short, the campaign feels cohesive and satisfying, with a focus on fast-paced action. Players familiar with 2D platformers may find it nostalgic but not impressive, yet it holds up as a polished, breezy skate through creative settings.
