LJSTAR also reports that you can’t share your save file from one computer to another because it causes the red background glitch on the other computer. Doing this also activates the DRM protection. If the program is installed on the computer, you cannot search for the game’s name followed by “cheat,” “hack,” “mod,” or similar keywords on Google because the browser closes immediately. Uninstalling and reinstalling simply returns it to the blue background glitch.
Ghosts appear and kill you nearly instantly. The infamous boss theme from the US version of the Sonic CD soundtrack also plays.
If you go into the registry to try and remove things, the game’s background turns blood red with a static overlay and creepy yellow/red eyes popping in and out. The game’s background will also turn blue and it will spawn red, invincible “ghosts.” LJSTAR said that the game at this point is “not unplayable.” Uninstalling and reinstalling won’t fix the problem. If the player tries to run a cheat engine in a browser, it will close the browser. The game, “Sonic Gather Battle,” was found by Discord user LJSTAR to contain DRM. Users have reported that a fan-made game based on Sonic the Hedgehog contains malware.
