Good port, but there are some problems. The controls seem to have somehow gotten worse throughout updates. Sometimes the controls just stop working for a moment when I try to change direction. This doesn't happen when using a real controller. My Galaxy S23 has a pretty wide aspect ratio. As a result, foreground objects pop in from the right of the screen when walking in that direction which isn't supposed to happen. It's especially noticeable in Star Light Zone. Sonic 2 has the same issue.

The game is good overall, the wide-screen helps with reacting to enemies. The touch controls are far better than I could imagine (you just have to get used to them.) The ads are a bit "over the top" but I've been using this app ever since 2018 so it doesn't bother me like it used too, but I mean every time you pause you get an ad, so thats the only thing that irritates me. But yeah all fun and all good, this is a good way to play sonic 1.

I'm not having the ad issues some are describing; I get one ad, it clears, I continue playing. The controls can be frustrating. Since there are no physical buttons I find myself having to look down to see where the buttons are on the screen from time to time. Graphics and sound are exactly as I remember and the game flow is nice and smooth.
