After reviewing what the reveal trailer is showing, it seems to be mimicking part-Rush gameplay elements with occasional perspective switches to the 3D plain. That, and the fire/ice powerups will predictably be a gimmick, so that doesn't sound too harmful.

But, judging from the negative reception of the previous Boom titles and the controversial acts of SEGA attempting to distance themselves from the problems of the Wii U title, I don't have high hopes for this game to prosper. I will give credit to the developers continuing the goal of making all characters playable, but the ball stops there if they don't stick with a fundamentally solid gameplay formula that's proven successful in the past. And since SEGA is obsessed with change with nearly every modern Sonic game, I won't be shocked if this game will bomb as soon as it sets foot on stage.
