“The last of a trilogy brings forth a new story with older memories!" sonicthehedgeho..
Over the past 2 years our fateful hedgehog has encountered many battles in his latest series on the GBA in 2003 and even though his returning road to popularity seemed like a rough and bumpy one (especially with a lot of controversy over the fact that Sega’s main mascot was still having games being made on Nintendo platforms so people still didn’t know if the games were going to be great) Sonic managed to pull through these past 2 years very nicely and with the success of the previous 2 games in the advance series how could they complain? Well a year and a ½ later we received the 3rd and final addition to the Sonic Advance series...with it’s more so darker toned atmosphere than the original & more so like its predecessor alongside the complex story behind this game. Can Sonic Advance 3 go out in a big bang of greatness or shall darkness consume the cartridge within and tarnish the series for all who come in its path? Only one way to find out...LET’S MOVE OUT TAILS....! Erm I mean loyal readers lets read on to see how things turn out *runs towards explosion*.
Graphics: 10 out of 10
Once again like the past 2 advance games, the graphics of the characters haven’t made many changes from before which is disappointing however there are additional sprites because of a new feature that was included in this game where you grab your partner and have them curl into a ball in order to use helpful move to make you launch higher and farther with more power or make you faster. This games backgrounds however do seem to be buffed up in quality compared to the previous additions to the series, as a lot of the levels are bursting with color and great atmosphere while keeping things plain and simple at the same time. My personal favorite area’s to look at and even just sit around in the game to enjoy the scenery are: Zone 2 – Sunset Hill Zone where as you would guess you have a sunset looking foreground with the area’s greenish-red look almost as if you’re just sitting on the beach relaxing while the sun is slowing turning into night, another example could be Zone 3 – Ocean Base Zone taking the opposite approach of Sunset Hill by making everything seem more depressing and gloomy with its dark purple and dark green colored platforms and backgrounds, accompanied by the more shaded looking water running throughout some areas of the map...in a sense this kind of reminds me of Oil Ocean from Sonic 2 due to the fact of how run down and how corrupt it seems to have become compared to the original state of the land. The final thing I’d like to talk about with graphics are the special stages in this game which look really appealing to the eyes with each level’s containing a certain color for the emerald you’ll receive by completing the stage, a pretty nice touch if I may say so myself. Anyway it’s best to wrap this up before it gets to long so I’ll just leave my score here now which would have to be a 10 out of 10.
Sound: 10 out of 10
As you may remember from either my review of SA or SA2 I said that the 3rd game in the advance series was my favorite for music as there are so many songs that I remember from this game alone just by hearing the name Sonic Advance. I should probably stop reminiscing since you most likely want me to explain why I appreciate the music a lot in the game although this section could be considered true for others and false for some since music kind of depends on what you prefer. Alright well the first song I would like to talk about actually plays in two different spots in the duration of this game but I’m going to base it off of the actual map that it plays on which is named Twinkle Snow, as you enter this frozen icicle covered land you’ll be welcomed in with a nice calm tune playing in the background as if you were just sitting outside watching the snow falling or standing by grass as the wind blows around the land. Secondly I’d like to talk about the second Zone’s music (Sunset Hill) which immediately when you enter the area you should feel a wave of nostalgia hit you in the face like a frying pan as if you pay close attention to the beat you’ll realize that it’s actually Green Hill Zone from the very first Sonic The Hedgehog game which I do quite enjoy listening to every so often as not only does it remind me of my child self but also my joy I experience because I owned this handheld. Finally the last song I’d like to talk about is the special stage’s music as unlike Sonic Advance 2 which kept the same music from the original game, advance 3 actually changed it up and made it more upbeat and kind of gave you a certain adrenaline rush once you started playing the special zone...for those of you that have played that Japanese version of Sonic CD then you’ll most likely remember how fast-paced and cheery the music sounded in a sense this game basically has that same exact feeling added in. I think that’s enough to talk about for the music portion however; before I bring this segment to a halt I’d like to make on last point, which is and I’m not 100% sure but I do believe this is the very first 2-D Sonic game where the characters had voices added in for certain parts as if you do special moves similar to the previous game you’ll hear sonic say words like: “Yeah! or All Right!” and when you attack Robotnik (Eggman) you can hear him say phrases such as: “You little!” or when you defeat his machine “You’re going to pay for this!” which does add a nice sense of character to everyone which now leaves me to give my score for the sound which is going to have to be another 10 out of 10.
Addictiveness: 8 out of 10
First off and foremost the very first thing you’ll notice about this game is that you always have a partner with you whenever you go to an act. So this game in a sense kind of plays similarly to Knuckles Chaotix for the 32X in that case but it’s also different one other ways to as unlike Knuckles Chaotix you aren’t attached together by a ring but instead you can use your partner by curling them into a ball and either using them after a jump or sometimes even being able to throw them depending on whom your partner is. I really enjoy this feature to the game as I always enjoyed having tails with you in the older sonic games and I always wondered why you couldn't’t control the both of them in order to make the game more interactive (well I mean controlling them by yourself without another controller). Now if you were like me and enjoyed the speed you received from Advance 2 but you felt it was too quick at certain times let me tell you right now that you definitely won’t have to worry as much now because in the event that you go to fast you can hold down the R button to grab your partner in order to slow you down a little all be it not completely but it’s still enough to regain your footing so that’s still a plus side in my books. I know I’ve talked about the special stages a lot already with the graphics and sound but I also think we should talk about how it plays don’t you? Now there is really only one word I can use to describe them with and that is “Interesting” as it takes yet again a different atmosphere than the others before it did, in a sense it basically feels like they took the stages from Sonic Adventure where you’re on the tornado & combining it with the special stages from Sonic 2 on Genesis where you must collect rings while avoiding enemies another thing to note in this here is that during the duration of the stage you may notice rings that sparkle different compared to other and these are known as special rings which give you 10 rings instead of 1 also the path of rings can be split into 2 different paths at times so keep your eyes open and choose wisely which path seems the best in the long run of things. The only thing I wish they would’ve added in from before is the fact that they don’t have the Tiny Chao Garden in this game anymore as that has been changed to where you must find chao hidden throughout stages/maps in order to get a key to the special stage it’s still not as a pain of a butt as collecting 7 Special Rings like before but it could’ve just been simpler so all things considered I think that about wraps up the addictiveness sections leaving me to give the score a 8 out of 10.
Story: 8 out of 10
Sonic & Tails have both caught wind of Dr. Robotnik’s newest plan to conquer the seven different areas within this land. As we see in the intro we see the two of them running towards his fortress in order to learn more about what he may be plotting, it’s unknown how be he was able to gain one of the seven chaos emeralds and is planning to even steal the Master Emerald once again. However he isn’t as naïve as he may look because he’s created a new robot called G-Mel to attack Sonic & his group of friends, but does this robot has his own intentions like another robot we all know and love? Sure it may not seem like as great of a story compared to other more well-known games in the series, although; this may be true it still has a lot more detail than the previous 2 games that came before it so I think it’s pretty fair if you gave this game a higher score than the others. I think we can all agree to a certain extent that Sonic Advance 3 is deserving enough of a 8 out of 10 score for the storyline, there is more to this story but I’m afraid if I told more...that it’d ruin/spoil the game for you so this is where I must end this segment.
Depth: 8 out of 10
This game also has the biggest amount of levels compared to before as well for the fact that it goes back to the old style of having 3 acts in each zone, in this game though you can go into any acts located in the level with only 1 exception and that is the boss for the current zone which can only be accessed by completing all 3 zones. This game also has a hidden level which can only be accessed by gaining all the chaos emeralds and by defeating the final boss at least once already, and then defeating final boss once again with Sonic as your leading member you’ll be sent to a different area known as Nonagression as Super Sonic with another character as your partner (I won’t say whom because that’s a secret for you to find out). It’s a shame though that there aren’t as many things to unlock as before and still some things are more tedious to unlock such as the boss option in time attack which requires you to gain all colored medals in every single level including boss fights in my opinion it’s not really worth it unless you’re going for 100%...so the only two things I find worth gaining are the sound test option and special stage mode *where you basically play all the special stages in order until you win or lose* the sound test can be unlocked by defeating the final boss and the special stage mode can be unlocked by collecting all 7 emeralds and then pressing the following buttons on the main menu screen: Up, R, Down, L, Right, and left to show the hidden option for this mode. Well nothing much else I can really show or explain here so time to leave my score for depth adding up to an 8 out of 10.
Difficulty:7 out of 10
Luckily SA3 doesn’t suffer from any problems with the camera or speed so the difficulty is lower than how it was before when they implemented the high speed movements of the characters in SA2 alongside the fact that there aren’t many endless pits to fall into a lose a life on. If you think that this makes the game just as easy as it originally started out to be then you’d better shake your spiny quills in disbelief because that isn’t the truth either, the game basically has an even set of difficulty without any cheap shots at your character. Sure the bosses may be difficult on your first try however there is a pattern to their movements so you just have to remember how things go so if you die the fault will mostly lie on the shoulder of you the gamer instead of the hardware itself. Getting into the special stages can be tedious but it isn’t as difficult as I explained before since you only have to find a certain amount of chao hidden in each act and map, one good thing unlike the special rings is that in the event that you may have forgotten what chao you’re missing or have collected already you can simply go check that chao garden and press
select to give you a map showing a number 1, 2, 3, or M designating that the numbers are which acts you must go through and the letter proving that you need to look around the main map of the zone a little deeper/closer. Either way I’d say the difficulty is pitch perfect so I wouldn't’t recommend much changes which earns this a 7 out of 10.
This is where our adventure seems to end...our hedgehog has just returned from his final battle with his partner in action, and peace has once more been restored to this land. As our hero lays there on the grounded being cared for by his wonderful friends he notices the doctor flying away and just smiles knowing that they’ll meet up again in another time and even though this blue hedgehog’s advance adventures seem to be over, we all know this isn’t the last we’ll see of him. It seems as though our hedgehog has never really experience a bad 3rd adventure during his travels and it seems like he’ll always keep moving forward just like his 3rd Sonic Advance. I won’t keep you here for too long so you can go and enjoy the adventure I’ve just shared with you!

Gotta go fast! Sonic Advance 3 review patar4097
Sonic Advance 3 is, obviously, the third game in the Sonic Advance series, for the Game Boy Advance. This one is actually the last true Sonic game that is 100% 2d, if you don’t count the Sonic 4 games (which I don’t count). Now, this one is still pretty much the same as all classic Sonic games. Run quickly to the right, collect the rings, and go on random loop-de-loops. Get all the Chaos Emeralds, and defeat Dr. Eggman. And in this game, you will also try to collect small Chaos that are spread around the whole world. However, there are also some things that make this one different from the rest.
The first difference that you will notice is that you can select two characters. The first one will be under your control, like normal. You can spin dash, jump, and fly if you have the right character, or float down slowly. And the second one will follow around you, getting hurt, dying a lot, and that’s about all you will notice at first. But they have something that they can help you with. If you hold onto the L shoulder (or whatever you’re preset is), you will hold your partner. So if you let go, you will get this power up. Sonic will make you speed up, and Tails will launch you to higher places, or take you along with him while he flies. Each of the five characters has a special ability that can help you throughout the journey. Now, these partners are really dumb though. I can’t tell you how many times that I was about to jump into a vehicle, and my partner went into it first, leaving me out to dry.
Now, along with letting you use them to help you, the partners also have some strategy involved in them. For instance, if you are Sonic with Knuckles as a partner, Sonic’s attack will go much farther. Put it the other way around, Knuckles will do a headbutt attack, but if you have anybody else as a partner, he will glide, and hold onto the walls. This means that no two partners will affect a character the same way. For instance, Amy will always make you have a jump that won’t hurt enemies, but you will get a hammer. >:-) This can let you have advantages to getting some certain Chaos that may be unobtainable with some combinations, but easy with others. So as you experiment, you will notice that some combos are good, while others, not so much. And I think this is something that should be implemented in future Sonic games.
Something else that wasn’t in the other Sonic Advance games was a world hub. Instead of instantly appearing in the next level, you will go to a world hub, where you can maneuver to find the menu coin, which is where you can change your world, view your collected Chaos, and change characters and partners. Also in this hub, you can find in each world two bonus UFO ships that will bring you to an extra life minigame, and the boss UFO. The final world has two bosses. And also, every world will have a special stage, and most have a Chao hidden in it. Now, I don’t know what others thought about this, but I really like it, even though I would forget where I was, or where to go sometimes. Now, here’s the review.
Graphics 9.5 – The graphics in this game are outstanding. Everything from the characters, to the backgrounds, and the enemies all look fantastic. The colors are great, besides the water world which is pretty bland. The backgrounds look really good while you are running, the super speed graphics look really good, and all the movements are really crisp and clean. Probably my favorite thing about the graphics would be the mini versions of the characters. When you use Cream’s partner move, your character will get their own chao for a while. These things look really cute. ^-^ But some places, like the carnival world, the colors seem a little overdone, and looks more like a little kid’s painting. :P
Sound 9 - One of the most famous things about the Sonic franchise is the music. And this game doesn’t disappoint. Every world has a basic tune, and then the other levels in the world have a song that sounds pretty similar, but is different enough to not be annoying. Now, this doesn’t mean that the music is bad at all. You won’t really notice how similar the music is, because it’s so great. The character sounds are nice. Sonic sounds like how he should and so does Knuckles, Amy, and Cream. Tails seems more annoying that he really should have been, especially after he dies. It’s a minor complaint, but if you die pretty quickly multiple times, you might get annoyed with Tails.
Addictiveness 8/
Depth 6 - This game isn’t really all that big, but it’s a fair amount of depth. With a total of 7 worlds, with 3 levels each, and a boss fight, plus the bonuses, final boss, and special stages, it only comes out to 50 levels, with too many of these being for extra levels, and the special stages, that are all pretty much the same thing, but I’ll go over that later. just because the game isn’t exactly all that deep, doesn’t mean it’s going to get boring. If you are a Sonic fan, you will want to beat all your records from all the levels, and get all the gold medallions. I don’t know if this does anything, since I haven’t gotten that far, but I’m guessing not too much happens. But with all the Chaos to get, beating all the special stages, it will take a pretty long time to finish everything.
Story 5 – Now, I didn’t have the box for this game, and I don’t really know the story, but I’m guessing that it’s something like this: Dr. Eggman builds a robot to destroy Sonic, and take over the world. You need the Chaos Emeralds to defeat him. So, I will rate this a 5, just in the middle, but as a Sonic game, I can’t see it having much of a story anyways.
Difficulty 8 – Now, this depends on if you go on hard mode or easy mode, but if you go on easy, it will be moderately easy, but by the last world, you will still die sometimes, because the level design on the further worlds get really tough. As usual, it’s pretty cheap sometimes, with the enemies that are impossible to avoid if you are going on a normal path, but it’s manageable. But if you go onto hard mode, the game is pretty tough. Some combos can still make it somewhat easy for most levels, but the later levels will still get you some trouble. But I think this game has just the right amount of difficulty. It can start off easy, but by the end, you will struggle to get through, which is perfect.
Gameplay 8 - Like all Sonic games, you go fast, and try to jump, hoping that you don’t run into the enemies. Somehow, even though it’s pretty cheap how it works, it somehow is really fun. I really enjoy most 2d Sonic games, for some reason, this one has something about it that is more fun than some like Sonic CD, or Sonic 2. Probably the main reason would be the partners, because they not only give you more skills, but also make their tons of combinations that will match just what you are looking for. Probably my favorite levels are the boss levels. The change of speed is really nice to see in a Sonic game. One of the extra lives minigames are good too. One, you push buttons (lame!) while the other, you try to defeat all the enemies. The quicker you beat them, the more lives you get from it. I found this one really fun, even though, even on easy, it was surprisingly, really hard.
Now, on to the special stages. You are flying on a plane, and are flying through some strange world, collecting a certain amount of rings before you get to the end of the level. You have to avoid meteors that are flying at you, that will make you lose rings, and also some that stay still. You can get a x2 multiplier, that will double the rings that you get. There are two parts to each special stage. Once you get through the first part, your character will jump up, and next, you get the Chaos Emerald, for beating the whole thing. It’s really challenging, but really fun.
Something else that I love about this game is the level design. I can’t think of a Sonic game with better design. Every world has some things that make it unique. One has underwater, one has changing gravity, and another has lots of dying. :P The carnival world has jack-in-the-boxes of death, and a panda ride. This has truly great level design.
Overall 9.4 – This is my favorite Sonic game of all. It has great graphics are amazing, the music is great, and the boss fights are really good. The level design is probably the best ones that I have seen also. If you haven’t tried this one, and you like Sonic games, or haven’t tried one in a while, this one will probably get you back into it.
Thanks for reading my review. Be sure to rate it if you liked it!

Sonic Advance 3 review by SuperSonic780 SuperSonic780
NOTE: This is my first game review so expect it to be not so good and I'm also Portuguese so expect the grammar to be a little bad.
Sonic Advance 3 is a great side - scrolling game launched in 2004 for the GBA and follows Sonic Advance 1 and 2 that combines a little of the two games but there's a twist: you can play with two characters at once! Well, actually you control one character and the second one follows you like Tails does in Sonic 2 and 3 & Knuckles, but he is not the only one to follow you. As you progress through the game, you will find 3 more characters (I'm not going to spoil it, because I will not put my Viz or even my account in risk so, go through it yourself) and then after finding them, you see a cutscene and then you can go to the title screen and select Main Game or something > Single Player and select the leading character and the following character.
Graphics: 9
Sonic Advance 3 has some great (modern[!]) graphics for all characters and some awesome backgrounds, or example the second zone background is A LOT beautiful (Yeah, I don't like to say that word and when I write "a lot" I really mean it, but some people have different opinions).
Sound: 10
This game has an AMAZING soundtrack and even characters have their own sounds but I'll explain that later in the review. Some people even just go to the levels just to hear the music because of how awesome it is!
Addictiveness: 9
Sonic Advance 3 is mostly a replay game because you will probably want to get the Chao for the Chaos Emeralds (I had to even watch on YouTube a tutorial on getting all the chao!) and try to get golden medals to unlock stuff.
Story: 9
Sonic Advance 3 has quite a big story that is a little hard for me (at least) to explain. As said in the description of the game, Eggman/Robotnik has broken the world into 7 parts and only Sonic and his group can stop him by collecting the 7 Chaos Emeralds to restore the world but Eggman has another trick up his sleeves: he got a robot named Gemerl or G-Mel (whatever) which was made with pieces of Emerl (the robot of Sonic Battle) and they will try to stop Sonic and his group once and for all but Sonic, of course, isn't going to let Eggman do that!
Depth: 10
Vizzed asked if it's a game that takes a while to beat or has a lot to do, how big the game is and how much it offers. Well, I rated 10 because > 1st: the game is so big: it has 7 zones with four acts each (on the fourth act, you sometimes fight G-Mel and then you fight Eggman himself, but you always fight Eggman), the final zone and the extra zone as Super Sonic and Eggman (!), 2nd: It REALLY has a lot to do if you want to complete the game 100% (getting all Chaos Emeralds, the extra zone and the boss time attack) and 3rd: since the game is a little hard, unless you are a master, it can take A LOT of time to beat just without all Chaos Emeralds because of its difficulty.
And finally, let's go to the final part:
Difficulty: 6
The game depends of the difficulty you are: Easy or Normal (I always play games on Easy mode because I don't like hard stuff). However, the game is a little medium in difficulty because: I will first explain the easy things: the controls, where the A button is to jump, B button to attack (Different teams have different attacks) and the R button to do 2 things: hold it to do a Tag Action (new ability) and release it to do it on the ground or in the air and you also can do the Air Action (already in Sonic Advance 2) but only with the teams: Sonic & Tails, Tails & Sonic (yeah, just because they are the same characters, they don't do the same things, well, they have their own same attacks but Tails is not gonna do Sonic's attacks or vice-versa), also Amy & Cream and Cream & Amy, when you are launched by a ramp, spring, that "hand-spring" that appears mostly in the first zone, which the characters hang on them and launches you up and the "spinning hanger" which the characters hang on and then, when you press the A button and then the R button, you can do it, even in ball form, and your character says a word or something I talked about before and on the end of the level they say something too. The other easy thing is the first zones. Now there are only two hard things: Getting the Chao and the last zones! But don't worry, there is a "Hub World" that contains even mini-games to regain lives but I think you'll be relying on save-states to never lose a live or to save after a part on the level that you took a lot of time (I didn't mean a lot really now) to pass through so if you lose a life you start after that part and regain that life but you also have checkpoints to save your progress but if you press Start and select Quit you'll go to the Hub World and then you have to re-do the level again if you didn't use save-states!
Well, with this, I rate this game 9.8 overall. I didn't rate 10 because of the hard things it has and because it hasn't got a Chao Garden.
SuperSonic780 Out!

A GBA Game to Remember WaysideFan2002
This is the second to last Sonic game for the GBA!And I love it!And here's why!Welcome to my review of Sonic Advance 3,for the Game Boy Advance!
Graphics-7
I really liked the graphics!They were really great for the GBA!I liked every character sprite and I loved the backgrounds!The sprites were animated greatly!They were very smooth.the could have been kinda better though,like,if your moving at high speed,the sprites get very blurry and look like just scribbles of pixels.Same goes for Sonic Advance 2.
Sound-9
Do I really have to say it?Okay.The music is Amazing!Everything from the intro music,to level music,to the music in the final boss was just epic!My favorite track in the game was from the second zone in the game,Sunset Hill!I really liked the sound of it,it just had a certain vibe to it that made all amazing!They even added small voice clips,like Sonic Battle!But just like Sonic Battle,Amy Rose and Cream's voices were annoying at times.
Addictiveness-9
You will ALWAYS want to play this game again,and again,and again!It's just so fun!There's something about it that's just mega fun!
Story-9
The story is great!The evil Dr.Eggman splits the planet into pieces using the power of the Chaos Emeralds!Now Sonic,Tails and they're other friends must re-collect the Chaos Emeralds to get the pieces of the world re-connected!
Depth-9
This game is pretty long!You have lots to do!They're are 3 acts in each zone,plus a boss fight,and two mini-games!You also need to collect 10 chao in each zone to get a key,then you must go in the hub world of each zone,to find the special spring,and zoom into the special stage(Which I will not spoil.)And when your done everything,you can replay the game,do Time attack,and play in multi player with a friend!
Difficulty-6
The game is not the hard,the only hard thing about it is getting to the special stage.
Overall-9.9
This game is amazing!Due to great graphics,An amazing soundtrack,and a great story,it's a really fun game!The only downsides were,when you run at high speeds,the sprites go blurry,Amy and Cream's voices were annoying,and the game is not that hard.Anyway,I hope you enjoyed my review of Sonic Advance 3!

Sonic Advanced 3 Review LukeHayesII
This game is amazing, since most games use this type of 8-bit sonic, the graphics are good for a game of this style and choice, I have not played Sonic Advanced 2 or Sonic Advanced 1 yet (SA1) or (SA2), but as most people recognize, newer games have more to offer, if I played the older games, I probably wouldn't be seeing newer stuff in the older games, the sounds are amazing, - the fact that most of this game is, the game is really addictive because you can unlock levels or (acts), and characters (well not new but you know), the story is probably like the same, I haven't completed the game yet, (although I should), which is probably the real reason why people make reviews is because they play it more than just the first act/level like me. The game offers a lot, since you can do bonus missions, and is quite difficult since you rarely find games like these anymore.

Sonic advance 3 Review Final Weapon
Graphics: Compared to most other GBA games, the graphics were fairly decent. Enough to make the game enjoyable for everyone.
Sound: The game's sounds were pretty good. Each character had their own voice with catchy quotes like "Alright!" or "Yeah". The music was good and unique. It gives the player the feeling of a sonic game.
Addictiveness: Sonic advance 3 gameplay felt unique and gave me the feeling of a sonic game. Stages, bosses, everything. I will most likely be back to play it.
Story: The story basically takes place sonic and tails running to stop Dr. Eggman from taking over the world, but are too late and now it's up to sonic to stop eggman's evil plans. The plot in fairly good.
Depth: Sonic advance 3 does have a few things to offer like seaching for the hidden chao and testing the player to see how fast they can clear the act. Not to mention trying to clear the special stages.
Difficulty: The game's difficulty wasn't too hard or too easy. It felt just right. The basic controls were easy and quick to learn.
Overall: Sonic advance 3 is a game that mostly everyone can enjoy.

sonic is awesome GAMEGEEK101
this was one of the first games i ever played. it is also my favorite gameboy sonic game ever!
the basic concept of the game is you control 2 sonic characters at once, beat dr. eggman, save the chaos, collect chaos emeralds, kill enemies, collect rings, run, beat dr. eggman for the final time, watch the credits, and do it again because it is fun. i dont remember the storyline exactly because it has been years since i have played it. i will play it after tour de vizzed is over so i can post stuff.
i highly reccommend playing this game because it is AWESOME! try to avoid the spikes. :P
grafics: 9 because it has very fast moving animation.
sound: 8 because i like the sound affects and music.
addictiveness: 10 because i could play this non-stop for hours
