Open Sonic is a free open-source game based on the Sonic the Hedgehog universe. It introduces a different style of gameplay called cooperative play, in which it's possible to control three characters simultaneously. Unlike most similar games, Open Sonic provides a greater level of interaction between the player and the levels. It's more than just a jump'n'run; the user must come up with some strategy in order to get through the levels.

Open Sonic is written from the ground up in C language and uses the Allegro game programming library for graphics, sounds, player input and timers. Currently this game works on Microsoft Windows and GNU/Linux.

Call for artists

Open Sonic is requesting artists to help replace ripped artwork and music with new and original user-made resources on their home page. This is to help provide original content that can be licensed along with the game engine and distributed by Linux distributions and to avoid too much copyright infringement.
