About

Flickyhack is a unique and challenging ROM hack of Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Genesis. Unlike standard hacks, its core mechanic revolves around avoiding the Flickies, when you destroy a Badnik, the liberated Flickies become hostile "turncoats" that actively attack Sonic rather than helping him.
