Metal Sonic, Popstar Amy, Sir Lancelot, and other premium characters are obtainable by spending real money. Sonic’s Store includes not only limited-time offers and virtual currencies, but also unlockable characters. Eggman and other notable antagonists, these bosses test your ability to avoid the obstacles they put on the ground as well as time Sonic’s mid-air attacks. The boss fights are a nice addition, too. Think of this segment as a breather from all the running. Swiping in the appropriate direction will make Sonic do all sorts of aerial poses before landing on the other side of the track. If Sonic reaches the end of a track, he will be suspended in mid-air and arrow prompts will appear on the screen. There are other power-ups, too, including magnets and shields. While the touch controls are responsive, you won’t find tilt-based controls in this game.Ĭollecting gold rings-which is one of the game’s currencies-will fill up the “ Dash Meter,” which in turn, will let you activate Dash-a power-up that allows Sonic to run faster, crushing numerous enemies and obstacles in his wake. By rolling, you can go under obstacles and even eliminate baddies, like crabs, on the track. As with the above-mentioned endless runner titles, Sonic Dash’s controls are based on touch gestures- swipe left or right to move Sonic in either direction, up to jump, and down to roll.
