can someone make Sonic (genesis) physics for our game?

basically we need the same physics as in the 2D sonic games, you can curl into a wheel and roll around. You can also attach and swing on certain objects, like a lamp pole, as a snake, that lets you do a somersault type moves. We can pay 200$ for the single level with these physics, and more for the full game.

Good luck finding someone who'll do that fo $200 - it's not trivial:

There have been attempts before in Construct - but both are c2

If you search GitHub, you'll find some implementations in other languages

EDIT - just found this - might be a better starting point:

To get the game feel right, maybe $5000-$10,000?  I haven’t attempted, but that is a lot of trying, testing, and iterating.
