A year or so back i came across a nice little indie game that was being started on kickstarter. the game is Freedom Planet and it's come a long way.It's a platformer inspired by Sonic, Megaman and Gunstar Heroes.it has 5 playable characters in total, 2 being unlockable. It has 10 stages planned(11 counting Milla's exclusive Aqua Tunnel) and i really can't say much to do it justice. what i CAN say is give it a shot. it started as a sonic fangame but evolved more and more and has been differentiating itself and removing stuff like rolling and all that. plus, it's going to be released on steam this coming spring! i'll hand out a few links below. i just wanted to spread some publicity for this fantastic indie game.
