Rayman Redemption: Difference between revisions

[[File:Rayman Redemption Cover Art.jpg|thumb]]

'''''Rayman Redemption''''' is an unofficial remake and reimagining of the [[raywiki:Rayman 1|the original Rayman game]], made by [[Ryemanni]] and released in 2020 for PCs running Microsoft Windows. Its final update, version 1.1.4, was released later the same year.

This reimagined version of {{rw|Rayman 1}} features nearly all content from that game and focuses on expanding it as well as refining its gameplay, story and difficulty.

The graphics remain mostly the same, using assets from {{rw|Rayman 1}}, its ports and prototype versions, as well as spin-offs, such as {{rw|Rayman Designer}}. Additionally, entirely new assets were created in the style of the original game. ''Rayman Redemption'' adds support for widescreen view and modern screen resolutions. While classic 4:3 is supported, the reduced visible range in this mode makes some locations awkward.

The soundtrack from [[raywiki:Rayman 1|the original Rayman]] remains intact aside from a few exclusions, and many additional tracks and sound effects were added. One tune returns in stereo format from [[Ryemanni]]'s earlier game - [[Rayman: The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror]].

Noteworthy changes include an entire new world known as Playtopia, new levels in most returning worlds, expanded and unified level design, new enemies and bosses including a true showdown with Mr Dark, customization through skins or Ting sound effects, new objects and power-ups, and Rayman starting with all of his abilities unlocked. A system of achievements and accompanying bonuses is present.

 

''Rayman Redemption'' uses the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GameMaker GameMaker] engine. It has been verified to work on Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10 and 11. A demo was released on 15 June, 2019, and the first full version on 19 June, 2020, after 3 years in development <ref>https://gamejolt.com/p/that-s-right-after-3-years-of-development-rayman-redemption-will-6nc8vfn6</ref>. The final build, 1.1.4, was published on 18 November, 2020.

Rayman Redemption's plot remains the same as [[raywiki:Rayman_1|the original game]], but with additions and some differences such as the inclusion of new characters, the [[Toontotem]]s and a greatly changed and expanded final part of the story involving [[Mr Dark]] and the [[Great Protoon]].

The game features every world and level from [[raywiki:Rayman_1|the original Rayman]], but also adds some new ones such as [[Playtopia]], [[Final Showdown]] and {{rr|Dark Legacy}}.

==={{rr|The Dream Forest}}===

The first world of the game is the {{rr|The Dream Forest}}, a lush jungle. [[Rayman]]'s journey begins in a region known as {{rr|Pink Plant Woods}}, at the end of which he encounters [[Darktoon]] for the first time. The next stage is {{rr|Anguish Lagoon}}, where [[Rayman]] meets the mosquito [[Bzzit]]. After a brief fight, [[Bzzit]] befriends [[Rayman]] and carries him to the end of the level. From here, Rayman can continue to {{rr|The Swamps of Forgetfulness}}. He will help [[Tarayzan]] reobtain his loincloth, and as a token of gratitude, will receive from him a [[Magic seed]] to help through the flood. The final section of the world is {{rr|Moskito's Nest}}, where [[Rayman]] battles [[Moskito]]. After the battle, [[Rayman]] reaches the first [[Toontotem]] and releases the pink [[Flying ring]]s.

The second world of the game is {{rr|Band Land}}, a landscape composed of music and musical instruments. The first region [[Rayman]] passes through is {{rr|Bongo Hills}}, an area relatively close to the ground, with many drum platforms. Next, he reaches {{rr|Allegro Presto}}, an location higher in the air, composed mainly of slippery sheet music. Climbing even higher, [[Rayman]] passes through {{rr|Gong Heights}}, high in the cloudy sky, en route to {{rr|Mr Sax's Hullaballoo}}, the final area of the world, where he battles [[Mr Sax]]. Optionally, [[Rayman]] and [[Bzzit]] can fly through [[Mosquitoes' Sonata]] - an area that combines the look, feel and obstacles of all levels in {{rr|Band Land}}.

The third world of the game is the {{rr|Blue Mountains}}, a cold mountain range. The first level is {{rr|Twilight Gulch}}, where [[Rayman]] finds himself chased by [[Mr Stone]], the gigantic rock creature who is the boss of this region. The next area is the  {{rr|Hard Rocks}}, inhabited by rock monsters of various kinds. After taking [[Bzzit]] on a ride through [[The Highest Peak]], [[Rayman]] continues to {{rr|Mr Stone's Peaks}}. He meets [[The Musician]] and helps him retrieve his guitar which was hidden by the rock monsters. [[The Musician]] rewards [[Rayman]] by the [[Super helicopter]] potion, critical for navigating through the spiky mazes of this area. At the end of the level, [[Rayman]] battles [[Mr Stone]]. Having defeated him, he continues to [[Tempest Terror]] high in the mountains, where it frequently snows. At the end, [[Rayman]] battles [[Darktoon]] for the second time and releases the pink [[Spring]]s from the second [[Toontotem]].

The fourth world of the game is {{rr|Picture City}}, a landscape composed of artwork and art supplies. The first level is {{rr|Eraser Plains}}, where [[Rayman]] encounters [[Space Mama|Viking Mama]] and her [[Pirate]] lackeys. Following that, [[Rayman]] will visit {{rr|Pencil Penthathlon}} and [[Art Block]], where he will battle [[Space Mama|Greek Mama]] and her [[Knight]]s. The last level is {{rr|Space Mama's Crater}}, where {[[Space Mama]] is fought in her final form. Optionally, [[Rayman]] and [[Bzzit]] can visit [[Riding the Rainbow]] and navigate through perilous pencils, spiky balls and pins.

The fifth world of the game is the {{rr|The Caves of Skops}}, a series of dark but colorful underground caverns. After passing through {{rr|Crystal Palace}}, [[Rayman]] meets [[Joe]] the Extra-Terrestrial at {{rr|Eat at Joe's}}. [[Joe]] gives [[Rayman]] a {{rr|Firefly}} to light up the dark caves. [[Rayman]] battles a [[Giant spider]] in the caves, and helps [[Joe]] restore power to his diner. [[Joe]] then blows up some beach balls to help [[Rayman]] across the water. [[Rayman]] then meets [[Mr Skops]], who knocks him down into the [[Molten Depths]]. Deep in the caves, [[Rayman]] battles [[Darktoon]] for the third and final time, unlocks the final [[Toontotem]] and releases the pink [[Pole]]s. After flying with [[Bzzit]] in [[Between a Rock and a Hard Place]], [[Rayman]] battles [[Mr Skops]] face to face in {{rr|Mr Skops' Stalactites}}.

The sixth world of the game is [[Playtopia]] and is one of ''Rayman Redemption'''s new locations, a landscape mostly composed of various toys. After making way through [[Child's Play]] and [[The Playhouse]], [[Rayman]] enters [[The Lair of the Chessmaster]], and defeats the latter in a game of chess. The defeated [[Chessmaster]] gives [[Rayman]] the Master [[Key]], which unlocks the Master [[Door]] in [[Brain Games]] - a level filled with math puzzles (similar to {{rw|Rayman Junior}}). At the end of the level, [[Rayman]] fights the final boss of [[Playtopia]] - [[The Menace]].

The seventh world of the game is {{rr|Candy Château}}, a landscape composed of sweets and crockery. In ''Rayman Redemption'' it has been expanded to a full-fledged world with multiple locations. After passing through [[Tasty Reception]], [[Rayman]] enters [[Choco Chambers]], where he meets the [[Clown Chef]]. For fixing his ice-cream machine, the chef give [[Rayman]] his sausage [[Frying pan]] to navigate the first part of the level. In the next part, Rayman finds the [[Super helicopter]] potion, and has to navigate a tricky maze with multiple [[Key]]s. Before the end of the level, [[Rayman]] is confronted my [[Mr Dark]], who sets a [[Chocolate monster]] on him. The next location, [[The Sweet Spot]] ends with a maze patrolled by walking [[Nougat]]. [[Rayman]] can take [[Bzzit]] on a flight through [[The Candy Armada]], fighting various [[Clown]]s and [[Lightning eyes]]. The final level of this world is {{rr|Mr Dark's Dare}}, like in [[raywiki:Rayman_1|the original game]]. [[Rayman]] will have to slide on a [[Frying pan]], run from [[Dark Rayman]] on two separate occasions, and overcome[[Mr Dark]]'s spells affecting his abilities. Finally, he will fight [[Mr Dark]]'s amalgamation - the [[Dark Chimera]], and [[Mr Dark]] himself.

===[[Final Showdown]]===

The eighth and final main world of the game is [[Final Showdown]], inspired by the [[raywiki:Rayman_1|the original game]]'s SNES prototype. After his defeat at the end of {{rr|Candy Château}}, [[Mr Dark]] escapes with the [[Great Protoon]], causing the entire [[The valley (Rayman Redemption)|world]] to start ripping from its seams. [[Rayman]] travels to [[The Lonely Cliff]] and is greeted by all the game's friendly characters, and also by [[Darktoon]] who has denounced [[Mr Dark]]. [[Betilla]] instructs [[Bzzit]] to carry [[Rayman]] to [[Mr Dark]]'s hiding place. To get there, they must survive an aerial battle with [[Dark Rayman]] on Dark [[Moskito]]. [[Bzzit]] leaves [[Rayman]] at the entrance to an eerie place of dark tendrils, as he is unable to fly through them. [[Rayman]] must traverse it on foot, avoiding [[Antitoon|regular]] and [[Giant Antitoon]]s. At the end of the level, a platform carries [[Rayman]] up to the final showdown with [[Mr Dark]]. [[Rayman]] defeats the sorcerer and releases the [[Great Protoon]] from its clutches, restoring order to the [[The valley (Rayman Redemption)|world]].

Additional zones available in ''Rayman Redemption'' are unlocked throughout the adventure. This includes the {{rr|Magician's Challenges}}, {{rr|Betilla's garden}}, the shops, the {{rr|Casino}} and the {{rr|Breakout Minigame}}. It also includes [[Dark Magician's Challenge]], one of the Magician's bonus levels, which is its own small bonus world and a throwback to Flint Jail from [[Rayman The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror]].

Just like {{rw|Rayman 1}} and [[Rayman: The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror]], ''Rayman Redemption'' is a 2D side-scrolling platform game.

The game takes place in a valley which is made up of nine different worlds. Some worlds are reimagined areas from {{rw|Rayman 1}}, others are new, often inspired by locations from [[raywiki:Rayman (series)|other Rayman games]]. The worlds are a mix of natural environments (the {{rr|Dream Forest}}, {{rr|Blue Mountains}}, the {{rr|Caves of Skops}} and {{rr|Dark Legacy}}) and imaginary ones ({{rr|Band Land}}, {{rr|Picture City}}, [[Playtopia]] and the {{rr|Candy Château}}).

 

''Rayman Redemption'' features three modes acting as a permanent difficulty setting for a save file: Classic, Casual, and Demise, the latter introduced in version 1.1.0.

* Classic behaves similarly to [[raywiki:Rayman_1|the original Rayman]], with limited lives. However, unlike {{rw|Rayman 1}}, [[Extra life|extra lives]] reappear whenever levels are replayed, making their "farming" easier.

* Casual is a modern mode giving the player infinite lives. In this mode, [[Extra life|lives]] cannot be bought in the Shop and will give the player some [[Ting]]s instead when collected.

* Demise is a difficult mode introduced to challenge the player to the best of their abilities. In this mode, [[Extra life|lives]] are limited, and can only be recovered by buying them in the Shop. [[Rayman]] starts with only one life point, instead of the normal three. However, upgrades in {{rr|Betilla's Garden}} still work, so a maximum of five default health points can be reached. {{rr|Big Power}}s and [[Extra life|lives]] found in the levels are rigged, damaging or killing [[Rayman]] when he touches them. Cheat codes and mid-level checkpoints are also disabled, although the latter are still visible in levels and can be customized as usual. In this mode, the game is far more difficult, and some {{rr|achievement}}s and extra {{rr|skin}}s cannot be unlocked normally.

All levels can be replayed an unlimited number of times, in any order. Unlike [[raywiki:Rayman_1|the original game]], all boss segments, dialogs and story events are always accessible in replays, excluding a few such as the corrupted version of [[The Lonely Cliff]].

[[Cage]]s that have been broken will reappear as golden empty cages, awarding [[Rayman]] some [[Ting]]s instead when broken. [[Gift]]s and [[Magician token]]s that have already been obtained reappear as transparent versions of themselves, but won't reward [[Rayman]] with anything when collected. Unlike {{rw|Rayman 1}}, [[Extra life|lives]] respawn later in levels and the player has infinite continues, making it far easier to keep a high number of lives.

In some cases, backtracking is necessary, because certain items are out of reach until [[Rayman]] frees some particular [[Pink Helper]]s. [[Pink Helper]]s that have not yet been freed appear in their would-be locations as transparent versions of themselves, thus serving as indications to the player as to which areas will need to be revisited.

Access to new areas is gained by freeing the [[Pink Helper]]s and interacting with them. [[Rayman]] will also receive new permanent upgrades and temporary power-ups along the game. {{rr|Shop}} upgrades can be turned off in the game's settings.

 

* [[Grimace]]: [[Rayman]] can grimace to get rid of tall [[Livingstone]]s which are scared of this. An achievement is also tied to this ability.

* [[Telescopic fist]]: [[Rayman]]'s main power, which allow him to punch enemies to defeat them. It can be temporarily powered up by [[Golden Fist]]s and [[Speed Fist]]s.

* [[Grappling fist]]: [[Rayman]] can use his fist to grapple onto [[Flying ring]]s which are scattered around the place, allowing him to reach high places and cross wide gaps. He can also use it to grab [[Extra life|lives]] from afar.

* [[Helicopter]]: [[Rayman]] can use his odd-looking hair as a helicopter which allows him to glide down, extending his jump range. Unlike [[raywiki:Rayman 1|the original game]], [[Rayman]] can glide indefinitely, similarly to its sequels. The activation mode of the [[Helicopter]] (tap, like in {{rw|Rayman 2}} or hold, like in {{rw|Rayman 3}}) can be configured in the game's options.

==={{rr|Shop}} power-ups===

 

All {{rr|Shop}} upgrades, once bought, stay until the end of the game.

* Better [[Power|power-ups]]: A shop ugrade which gives [[Rayman]] more extra health when collecting a Big Power.

* [[Cage locator]]: Bought at Joe's Wares, it points at cages located in the current section of a level.

* [[Item locator]]: Bought at Joe's Wares, it points at [[Magician token]]s and [[gift]]s located in the current section of a level.

 

* [[Flying ring|Pink ring]]s: Imprisoned in the {{rr|Dream Forest}} [[Toontotem]]. Freeing them allows [[Rayman]] to grapple to them.

* [[Spring|Pink spring]]s: Imprisoned in the {{rr|Blue Mountains}} [[Toontotem]]. Freeing them allows [[Rayman]] to bounce on them, similarly to other bouncy surfaces.

* [[Pole|Pink pole]]s: Imprisoned in the {{rr|Caves of Skops}} [[Toontotem]]. Freeing them allows [[Rayman]] to climb on them, similarly to vines.

 

* [[Ting]]s: Small blue bubbles used as a currency in the {{rr|shop}}s. Unlike in {{rw|Rayman 1}}, they are not automatically converted into [[Extra life|extra lives]], and so a large number can be accumulated (which is required for a specific achievement).

* [[Rainbow Ting]]s: Yield 9 [[Ting]]s when grabbed.

* [[Power]]s: Come as a small red atom with a P on the front, or a large red one - the former gives [[Rayman]] one or two units of health, while the latter replenishes his entire health and gives extra health points (reset if [[Rayman]] loses a life). Differently from [[raywiki:Rayman 1|the original game]], big powers can keep increasing [[Rayman]]'s health even further if he collects more. Big powers are rigged in Demise mode, damaging [[Rayman]] upon touch.

* [[Speed Fist]]: Allows [[Rayman]]'s fist to fly faster and further than normal. Up to three upgrades can be stacked at the same time - additional ones have no effect. Losing a life drops the speed by one level. Speed power-ups also affect [[Bzzit]]'s projectiles.

* [[Extra life|Life]]: Gives [[Rayman]] an extra life, as well as restoring his entire health. They are rigged in Demise mode, killing [[Rayman]] upon touch.

*'''[[The Magician]]:''' He introduces the game's story. During the game, [[Rayman]] can visit him at the {{rr|Magician's Challenges}} area, in which he hosts a variety of time-based challenges.

*'''[[Betilla the Fairy|Betilla]]:''' A benevolent floating female fairy, who failed to protect the [[Great Protoon]] from [[Mr Dark]]. [[Rayman]] can meet her in {{rr|Betilla's Garden}}, where she would upgrade his life points every time he breaks a necessary number of [[Cage]]s.

*'''[[The Photographer]]:''' This character acts as checkpoint. Should [[Rayman]] lose a [[Extra life|life]], he will return to where he last had his photograph taken.

*'''[[The Monk]]:''' Encountered in {{rr|Gong Heights}}, he releases [[Golden rings]] into the air, and teaches [[Rayman]] to swing on them to reach new areas. It is unknown whether other [[Golden rings]] encountered in later areas were also produced by [[the Monk]].

*'''[[The Musician]]:''' Living high in the {{rr|Blue Mountains}} with his family, his guitar had been stolen by a rock monster. [[Rayman]] returns it to him, and [[the Musician]] gives [[Rayman]] the [[Super helicopter]] power.

*'''[[The Painter]]''': [[Rayman]] meets him in [[Art Block]], where his art kit has been stolen by the [[Antitoon]]s. For returning it, he rewards [[Rayman]] with a [[Paint fist]] - a power-up that allows [[Rayman]] to create temporary platforms on blank paper walls. Like [[Tarayzan]], appears to belong to {{rw|Rayman's species}}.

*'''[[Jack]]''': A friendly jack-in-the-box met in [[Playtopia]]. He gives [[Rayman]] a [[Key]] that allows him to open the nearby [[Door]] and continue on his quest.

*'''[[Clown Chef]]''': Met in [[Choco Chambers]], he gives [[Rayman]] his old [[Frying pan]], in return for fixing his ice-cream machine. May belong to {{rw|Rayman's species}}.

*'''[[Bzzit]]:''' Initially appears as an enemy, but befriends [[Rayman]] after their fight. He plays a much more significant role in ''Rayman Redemption'', accompanying [[Rayman]] in multiple levels throughout the game, including the trip to [[the End of the World]].

*'''[[Darktoon]]:''' A recurring mini-boss, met several times throughout the game. He claims to have been sent directly by [[Mr Dark]] to hinder [[Rayman]]'s progress. After being defeated repeatedly, he falls into disfavor with [[Mr Dark]], who takes away all of [[Darktoon]]'s powers.

*'''[[Bzzit]]:''' The first boss (or mid-boss) of the game, a large eyed [[mosquito]], who lives in {{rr|Anguish Lagoon}} in {{rr|the Dream Forest}}. After [[Rayman]] defeats him he befriends [[Rayman]] and lets him fly on top of him.

*'''[[Moskito]]:''' [[Bzzit]]'s stronger counterpart, and the boss of {{rr|the Dream Forest}}.

*'''[[Mad Drummer]]''': A miniboss in {{rr|Bongo Hills}} of {{rr|Band Land}}, he attacks [[Rayman]] with his huge maces, which cause damage either by direct hits or through flames and lightning bolts created as products of their activity.

*'''[[Space Mama]]:''' A very large woman who's the boss of {{rr|Picture City}}. She fights [[Rayman]] three times, wearing different contumes, and sometimes accompanied by helpers such as [[Pirate]]s and [[Knight]]s. She is able to attack [[Rayman]] with lasers or knives out of her rolling pin, or fireballs from her torch.

*'''[[The Chessmaster]]:''' He awaits [[Rayman]] inside his own [[The Lair of the Chessmaster|lair]] in [[Playtopia]] and challenges him to a game of chess, while smoking a cigar. Attacks [[Rayman]] either by summoning [[Chess piece]] minions, or hurling his bow tie at him. He is the only boss who is never attacked directly, but surrenders after being checkmated by [[Rayman]].

*'''[[The Menace]]:''' the boss of [[Playtopia]], he is a green mischievous monkey-like creature who attacks by clinging to the wall and hurling explosive balloons at [[Rayman]], or simply spinning around the arena. After taking a few hits, he summons his red-colored angry friend, and [[Rayman]] must defeat them both.

*'''[[Giant spider]]:''' Guards the deep dark caves of {{rr|Eat at Joe's}}. Attacks [[Rayman]] with his legs or his fangs.

*'''[[Bad Rayman]]:''' The result of a spell that [[Mr Dark]] casts in the {{rr|Candy Château}}, he resembles [[Rayman]] with a dark palette and mimics every move he makes throughout the stage. [[Rayman]] must stay on the move as [[Bad Rayman]]'s touch is lethal. Can only be defeated by finishing the stage.

*'''[[Dark Moskito]]''': accompanies [[Bad Rayman]] in their air battle against [[Rayman]] and [[Bzzit]] en route to [[the End of the World]].

*'''[[Chocolate Monster]]''': awaiting [[Rayman]] at the end of [[Choco Chambers]], this one lives inside a pool of hot chocolate, with only its eyes visible. [[Rayman]] must drop fruit onto the [[Chocolate Monster]], while avoiding its projectiles and the rising flow of chocolate.

*'''[[Mr Dark]]:''' The main antagonist of the game, who stole the [[Great Protoon]]. He first attempts to slow down [[Rayman]]'s progress through the {{rr|Candy Château}} with various spells, then sets his [[Dark Chimera]] amalgamation on him, and only after it is beaten, fights [[Rayman]] directly. If [[Rayman]] manages to defeat him, [[Mr Dark]] escapes to [[the End of the World]], where [[Rayman]] must follow for the [[Final Showdown]].

The game contains 37 levels, split across 9 worlds. 6 of the worlds are returning from [[raywiki:Rayman 1|the original Rayman]], and 3 are new. Of the new worlds, one is a normal world, one contains the final showdown of the game, and the final one is a bonus world, consisting only of a single, hard level, which is unlocked if the player manages to beat all prior levels, while breaking all the [[Cage]]s. The total number of levels and content is more than double that of [[raywiki:Rayman 1|the original game]].

In each of the returning worlds, all original levels are present. Each level in '''Rayman Redemption''' is a reimagination of the corresponding level of ''{{rw|Rayman 1}}'', with recognizable design and changes on top of it, usually expanding the level. Many worlds have entirely new levels. In ''{{rw|Rayman 1}}'', {{rw|The Dream Forest}} and {{rw|Band Land}} contained 4 levels each, while the later worlds had 3. ''Rayman Redemption'' adds additional levels, so that all the worlds now have exactly 4 main levels, including the new one - [[Playtopia]].

All worlds after the first have new levels, where [[Rayman]] is riding [[Bzzit]], similar to the section in {{rw|Anguish Lagoon}}. These levels are optional and their completion is not required for story mode, but they contain extra [[Magician token]]s, which unlock additional challenges. Some of them contain custom skin collectibles for [[Bzzit]].

All of the [[raywiki:Bonus level (Rayman 1)|Magician's bonus levels]] have been removed from the levels, and replaced with harder and more varied [[Magician's Challenge]]s. Access to the challenges is granted by collecting a certain number of [[Magician token]]s in the regular levels. The final three challenges include a throwback to the [[Flint Jail]] world from [[Rayman: The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror]], and two "boss rushes" - a regular and a hard one.

The levels are laid out on a map of {{rr|The valley}}, similar to that of [[raywiki:Rayman 1|the original Rayman]], with additional areas for the new worlds. Special points on the map exist for extra sections, where the player can purchase upgrades, or access [[Magician's challenge]]s. The {{rr|Breakout minigame}}, which opens up after completing [[The Final Challenge]], now has its own icon on the map, instead of requiring a [[raywiki:List_of_cheats_in_Rayman_1|cheat code]].

* [[Mosquitoes' Sonata]] (Bzzit)

* [[Tempest Terror]] (new)

* [[The Highest Peak]] (Bzzit)

* [[Riding the Rainbow]] (Bzzit)

* [[Molten Depths]] (new)

* [[Between a Rock and a Hard Place]] (Bzzit)

===[[Playtopia]]===

* {{rr|Betilla's Garden}} (new)

* [[The Shop]] (new)

* [[The Casino]] (new)

* [[Joe's Wares]] (new)

* [[The Lonely Cliff]] has two different variations, with the second one only being available during the end of the story when [[Mr Dark]] corrupts the world map.

* The game automatically saves the player's progress each time a level is completed or exited. Thus, the special save icons present on the map of ''{{rw|Rayman 1}}'' have been removed, as they serve no purpose.

The game features most of [[raywiki:Rayman_1#Sony_PlayStation|''Rayman 1'''s PlayStation soundtrack]], as well as some sounds and music taken from other games such as the main theme from the [[raywiki:Rayman (Atari Jaguar)|Atari Jaguar version of ''Rayman'']].

The new tracks of ''Rayman Redemption'' were composed by [[Ryemanni]], some of which are inspired by some pieces from a few versions of [[raywiki:Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']]. This new soundtrack has been made available to download on the game's [https://gamejolt.com/games/raymanredemption/340532 Game Jolt page] page, including three early versions of some tracks as an extra.

Rayman Redemption was received extremely favorably, being regarded by many players as one of the best [[raywiki:Rayman (series)|Rayman]] games both fan-made and official, and one of the best fan-made games in general. Informally, it is considered as "the ultimate version of ''{{rw|Rayman 1}}''".

Criticism tends to focus on the difficulty of the final worlds and some of the bonus challenges or achievements. However, most of the game is viewed as considerably easier than [[raywiki:Rayman 1|the original]], and it is often recommended to new players as the least frustrating introduction to the ''{{rw|Rayman 1}}'' experience.
