SEGA need to calm down with their mobile releases. Within a week we’ve had Sonic Runners launch worldwide, Sonic Dash 2: Sonic Boom released for Android and now Heroki by Picomy is out for iOS devices.
The flying/action adventure game is a “premium” iOS release meaning it has a price and isn’t loaded with in-app purchases and adverts (thank God). The game is £5.99 in the UK and €7.99 for the rest of Europe.
Sonic Dash 2: Sonic Boom has been surprise-launched for Android devices.
The sequel to Hardlight’s Sonic Dash takes its visual influence from the recent Sonic Boom animated series. The complete list of features as taken from the Google Play store can be seen below:

Sonic Dash 2: Sonic Boom is free-to-play and available to download from the Google Play store for Android devices right now.
The latest Sonic mobile title is a 2D endless runner, similar in scope to Pac-Man Dash and Rayman: Jungle Run. Sonic automatically runs through a Windy Hill-styled stage and you have to tap the screen to make him jump. That’s all there is to it.
SEGA will publish Picomy’s new mobile title Heroki. The game has been in development at the little Dutch studio for 5 years and is an action-adventure-flying game. You can check out a new trailer below:
Heroki will be launched as a “premium” title at $7.99 on the US app store. More on the EU pricing as we get it.
The worldwide launch date for Sonic Runners has finally been confirmed!
The iOS and Android downloadable endless-runner from Sonic Team will launch worldwide on June the 25th. The game had previously only been available in Canada and Japan from February this year.
Sonic Runners is free-to-play (AKA free-to-download with in-game microtransactions).
The first teaser for Sonic Runners has been unleashed! The new teaser trailer doesn’t show any gameplay but it does take a short tour of Sonic’s history which is becoming quite a familiar sight if you’re used to Sonic reveal trailers. Check it out below:
If you click the image above you will also see the first insight into the game’s graphical style which seems to be based off Sonic Lost World. Characters also have that chunky, black outline with games like Sonic Jump have adopted.
Sonic Runners will launch on smartphones in Spring 2015. It is still unclear whether this is a Japan exclusive title.
Sonic Team have revealed a new Sonic game at a recent event at the SEGA Joypolis. The new game will be called Sonic Runners and it will be a mobile-only title.
Not much else is known outside of this. There is currently no art, screenshots or video available on the game but we’ll be sure to update you when anything becomes available.
Please be aware that a pretty convincing fan-made reveal picture featuring hoaxed screenshots is currently circulating. Do not be fooled!
We’ve known about Sonic Jump Fever for a while thanks to its limited Canada-only release a little while back, but it looks like SEGA are almost ready to unleash the sequel on the rest of the world.
A new trailer has appeared on YouTube and promises a worldwide Android and iOS release “soon”. Check out the short trailer below:
SEGA have announced a new Super Monkey Ball game called Super Monkey Ball Bounce. As with a lot of SEGA’s recent output, the game is a mobile title for iOS and Android devices and looks incredibly similar to the Peggle games. Check out the trailer below:
Super Monkey Ball Bounce launches this Summer on iOS and Android devices. It will be a free-to-play title.
Yes, we’re pretty late to this news but I think it’s worth sharing because I love hidden little oddities.
2 additional stages have been discovered lurking in the source code for Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Remastered for iOS. The first is Egg Gauntlet Zone which basically acts as a boss rush. You can see footage of it below:
Sadly this zone is no longer playable as a recent update removed removed the stage’s art assets.
Next up is Proto Palace Zone. This stage recreates a faithful yet completable version of Hidden Palace Zone that was featured in the Simon Wai Sonic 2 Beta ROM. What’s more interesting about this stage is it can still be accessed to regular owners of the game. Here’s some instructions on how to do this:
1) Access the Sonic 2 level select code by tapping the letters in the SEGA logo from left to right, then put two fingers on the title screen.
2) Enter the debug code 01,09,09,02,01,01,02,04 into the sound test section.
3) Then follow this with this code: 03,03,03,0B,10,10,10,04
You can also check out footage of this zone in action below:
