Install the game and mods straight from the app
Install game files (.zip / folder) in the launcher's Game files card: pick your game dump as a ZIP archive or a folder through the system file picker and the app copies everything into place in the background, with progress and cancel. The dump's layout is detected automatically no matter how deeply the folders are nested in the archive.
Raw dumps are now bootable without a PC: if the patched folder produced by the desktop installer is missing, the app builds the patched executable itself from game + update on first launch.
Install a mod (.zip / folder) in the Mods card: mod archives are unpacked into the right place with every contained mod detected by its mod.ini — multi-mod archives install in one go.
Smarter touch controls
Menus show a D-pad. On the title screen, in menus, on the world map and in the pause menu, the left analog stick turns into an 8-way D-pad — navigating game menus no longer fights the analog deadzone — and the touch camera is released so it cannot swallow taps.
Cutscenes show a single SKIP button. During in-engine cutscenes every control collapses into one wide SKIP button; the full layout returns the moment gameplay resumes.
New graphics options for low-end devices
Texture Quality (Video: Full / Half / Quarter): serves every game texture from further down its own mip chain at load time. Half/Quarter cut texture memory and GPU sampling bandwidth roughly 4x/16x — what low-end texture-pack mods achieve with hundreds of megabytes of repacked archives, applied to the base game, DLC, mods and cutscenes alike with zero extra files. UI and fonts keep full resolution.
Planar Reflections toggle (Video): turning it off skips the entire reflection scene render pass on stages with reflective surfaces (towns, water) — those stages effectively stop rendering the scene twice.
Shadow Resolution 256: a new lowest step below 512 for the weakest GPUs.
The Video menu no longer lists desktop-only options that did nothing on a phone (Window Size, Monitor, Fullscreen, VSync), and Input no longer shows Allow Background Input.
App translations
The launcher, mod manager, installer and file-provider UI are now available in Japanese, German, French, Spanish and Italian — matching the game's supported languages — plus Portuguese for the Brazilian community. The app follows the system (or per-app) language setting.
Fixes
Large mods no longer hide themselves and other mods from the mod manager (issue #58). The scanner used to spend its file budget inside a big mod's content folders before ever reading its mod.ini; Low End Mod (2494 files) reliably triggered this. Mods now cost a handful of scanned files regardless of size.
Restored the original Sonic artwork as the launcher icon, now properly filling the adaptive-icon canvas on modern launchers (no more small square in a white circle, no more black plate) with a matching monochrome themed icon.
