Sonic Speed Simulator is a Roblox simulator game based on Sonic the Hedgehog, created by Gamefam Studios and licensed by Sega. The game was initially released in a closed beta state and was fully released on April 16, 2022.
== Gameplay ==
Sonic Speed Simulator plays much like a standard simulator game on Roblox. Players can run around in 9 different Worlds, each derived from a Zone in the Sonic series. The player has the ability to use the Spindash, Stompdash, Boost, and Homing Attack moves from prior Sonic games. Chaos Orbs, or XP can be collected to increase the player's level. After reaching the maximum level, the player can Rebirth to increase the maximum level cap and increase their XP multiplier. Rings are collected as a spendable currency to purchase Chao and Trails from the Vending Machines scattered throughout each World. The player can equip one Trail and up to three Chao (up to five with the +2 Pet Slots Gamepass) to increase the amount of XP and Rings they receive. The player can also complete additional quests and events in each world to obtain Characters and items.
== Development ==
The game was developed by Gamefam Studios, a Roblox game development group based in Los Angeles. DigitalPurgatory and CKDEV from the team working on the Sonic Onset Adventure fangame were also brought in to help with development. The game was put together in a very short amount of time, with the game page saying the project was created on March 9, 2022. Both of these people have left the team in October 2022.
A well known Sonic fan joined the team in April, that being Nibroc.Rock, known for his fanmade renders and involvement in the fangame Sonic World. He is currently the lead developer of the project.
Strike, the project lead of the team working on the fangame Sonic Runners Reloaded, and a developer of the fangame Sonic World DX, joined the team in May 2023, adding a lot of new animations and remodels to the game.
