When pressed for what to call the game they'd nearly finished, Strife said whatever two words came out of her mouth next would be the name they stuck with. Throw It In!: By Word of God, the name of the series was a result of this.While the relationship has been revised to be more cordial, Lilac's comment remained in the game, making no sense at all. Orphaned Reference: In the original version of the game's script, Carol and Milla didn't get along, and later Lilac commended them for agreeing on something for once.Fake American: Milla's voice actress, Aimee Smith, is Australian.They would still politely ask the player to donate to Galaxy Trail nonetheless, though. Surprisingly, they would have been okay with the player pirating the game, with Lilac outright saying they'd let the player keep playing the full game and only bother them about it this one time for that save file. Another scene, likely taking place after the cut Rage Ravine level, would have played on pirated versions of the game, where Lilac and Carol talk directly to the player in question.Sabrina stated in a livestream where she played the game for its nine year anniversary that these lines were cut due to time constraints. There's also several lines that put together show there would've been some quick cutscenes between stages, most notably Brevon would've made an Ironic Echo to Lilac putting her friends in danger as he infects Milla.When the girls are at the treehouse, there would've been a discussion about the characters' families with Lilac appreciating her friends, Carol mentioning that she and her sister haven't talked in a while, and Milla wanting to find her parents.The scene where Carol and Lilac talk about her dragon ancestry to Torque was cut, as Strife felt it took away from the impact of the Pangu Lagoon cutscene and made less sense for her to be surprised about something she would've already suspected.The scene was cut, yet Lilac would still comment on it halfway through the game with the line "You both like something? Is this the end of the world?" As of Update 1.20.6, Lilac's line is also Dummied Out. There was a cutscene early in the game where Carol and Milla would be clearly established as Vitriolic Best Friends. Descended Creator: Sabrina DiDuro, the head of GalaxyTrail, provides the voice of the Bird Soldier ("Quack").Relic Maze has a third variation, a theme for a stage that never made it into production called Rage Ravine, Trap Hideout had second act music (the composer has expressed regret this one didn't make the cut), a theme for Zao's Airship, and a somber, slower version of the main theme. Cut Song: Aside from several early demos, the official soundtrack also has some material that went unused.And with so much of the Sonic DNA showing, but not the pedigree of being an actual Sonic title, the game ends up feeling less like an homage and more like a cheap knockoff. The dialogue and voice acting make a cheesy late-night B-movie sound like Shakespeare by comparison. The problem is you never feel attached to the characters or the story in any way. From a purely mechanical standpoint, the game is nearly flawless. The stages all take advantage of the characters' abilities, whether it's Lilac bouncing off the walls like a pinball or Carol racing across the ceiling on her motorcycle.

But open your eyes a bit and you start to see the frayed threads around the edges.įreedom Planet is easy to pick up and play, just like the retro games it emulates. In fact, squint your eyes just enough and you'd be forgiven for thinking you're playing a missing, gender-swapped, Sonic spin-off found in some hidden corner of the Sega archives. A super-fast main hero teamed up with a slower, stronger hero who can climb up some walls? Check, and double-check. Freedom Planet certainly shares a lot with the original 16-bit Sonic the Hedgehog games. If it's true that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then there's a certain speedy blue hedgehog who's feeling quite flattered right about now with this action game.
