People also forget that Ribbit is an ex-Mormon. She left a religion notorious for ostracizing ex-members. She mentions regretting cutting off her parents, and then Jax makes her relive that trauma by forcefully cutting her off. No wonder Ribbit wasn't reaching out to anyone else.
Honestly the biggest issue i have with 3D Sonic fangames, is how all of them feel like they're meant for time attacking only.
These levels all play like they're designed for speedrunners, with hardly any normal platforming segments, even the Boost games have these.
