      Normally it wouldn't be AS bad until you realize that you paid almost the same amount as the game's price on Steam, (20 dollars. Rounded up. Not including tax.) for an inferior, unoptimized, scummy port! Mania should not be having FPS drops on modern-day devices. My old crappy potato PC can run Mania at a consistent 60 FPS, so what gives?
      Typical SEGA, they hate making money via quality. They could've easily just ported Mania on the Google Play Store without the Netflix thing for like 6-10 dollars or something using the same framework as the mobile ports of 1, 2, and CD, but that would make too much sense, so they decided to fuck up another port because that seems to be the one thing they're consistent at.

Instead, we get a sub-par port that requires a subscription to play. The gaming industry keeps finding new ways to take what should be an exciting announcement and make it depressing.

    Not 60 FPS - Are you allergic to showers?
    Bad UI - Ok? It's a mobile port 💀there offering you Mania for less than 20$ what'd you expect?!
    Bad Touch Screen Design - So, first off you can still play the game, second off, when your playing the games your not even focused on the controls, third off, JUST USE A CONTROLLER.
    They RUINED Sonic Mania - This has no impact on Sonic Mania in general, this is just the mobile port.

    My parents cancelled their Netflix subscription back in 2017 when the underpayment of POC actors came to light. Having a black parent we haven't gotten it since then due to that. So seeing a game I love be locked behind not only a paywall, not only a MONTHLY paywall, but a Netflix paywall is so confusing and genuinely heartbreaking

    I don't like how the jump button and the thumb stick look in the Netflix version of this game.

    The controls felt really stiff to me tbh, like the d-pad/joystick is sorta unresponsive

    Since android 14 released many apps have been unable to be used especially legacy apps like older versions of minecraft pe or such, the update has caused me many issues
