Sonic Mania

A 2D side-scrolling platformer built in deliberate retro style. You pick Sonic, Tails or Knuckles and run through colorful zones full of loops, slopes and boss fights, with pixel art and a soundtrack to match. Local two-player co-op is supported, and the main run is short. Is it your kind of game?
