Do yourself a favor and spend some time just browsing OverClocked ReMix. After 25 years, there is a ton of content on the site, and it is just one of the best communities on the internet.
The rings are in jumping just before an enemy touches you. If you time it right you don't have to jump "on" them. Although sometimes this will throw you into an unavoidable collision.
I'd suggest adding a state transition on sonic that only let's the character destroy enemies when coming down from the peak of the jump. Or else make it a double click to be able to destroy enemies from take off as a special trick move.
The parallax effect on the vertical axis doesn't really make sense in terms of perspective.. the camera isn't travelling up, just the character.... and even then, depending on the distance it probably wouldn't be pronounced like it is here. It's a nice effect but I think the game would be fine if it was a horizontal parallax instead or non at all.
The jumping right before hitting an enemy is intended. If you do this, you can then more reliably land on another enemy right after and gain a x2, x3, etc... combo depending on how many enemies you land on before hitting the ground again.
Simple and very nice!
i wonder if adding the possibility to lose the rings and die only when hit while having no rings left just like in a real Sonic game would add more fun.

Might I suggest a remix of Chemical Plant Zone for background music instead of traffic noises? I like this one: https://ocremix.org/remix/OCR04552

Good job! Great game, fun.

I made something similar to wish my wife a happy birthday with GDevelop/JavaScript. I thought I had opened the source up... I should do that.
