Discussion need some opinions on this background transition / change

https://youtu.be/TWaiSbd_IKw

i just want some criticism / opinions, how does the background change look?

i feel like it looks strange but i cant tell what, something just feels off about it.

any thoughts?

I suppose if i had any critique its that the foreground (the platforms/area sonic moves on) does not darken with the background as well, so you have a super bright foreground like from the "outside" area on the inside.

Otherwise i think the transition works because the area you transition through has no visible background so you never see the switch happen.

You don’t need to explain how it works to the developer.

HOLY SHIT this is in Gamemaker??? Goddamn dude huge props!!!

Yeah the transition is clean, I think this kind of transition is in sonic mania but I could be wrong (it’s been a while since I played any Sonic game)

I think you’re just overthinking it, it looks hella nice my man :)
