Gameplay
The games play as a 3D platformer with the goal being to make it at the end of the level. Each level has a maze-like level design, with numerous paths to explore and either platforming challenges, enemies or puzzles around every corner. Special items that depend on the game is hidden across every level as collecting them open up gates to challenge the boss of the world and to enter the next. Soundshock has three primary abilities: a sonic screech that can be used for combat, to push around objects and to shatter glass, the ability to swallow and then spit out small movable objects and a triple jump using his wings. Soundshock can get hit three times before losing a life though he can collect boxes holding his companion Jane, that adds an extra hit to him. Each world ends with a boss fight as they are usually either puzxle, platforming or combat related.
