Would it be fair to say this is Sonic Spinball but actually good?

Sonic Spinball will always have a place in my heart for it's visual style, game play, and music, all unique to the Sonic series at the time. I loved how dirty and grungy and edgy the whole thing was, very 90's and very contrary to Sonic's bright and clean aesthetic at the time.

The game was, in my opinion, held down by it's crushing difficulty and floaty physics. I say "crushing" because I still can and do go back and replay the original Sonic games over and over. Spinball I've beaten maybe once. I've found the only reliable way to finish it is to never die and collect extra one-up's through the first three levels, and then hope to survive long enough to finish level four.

I love Spinball but I do think Yoku is kind of a spiritual successor in that it takes the ideas and improves upon them.

Now, if only we could get a remake / sequel / reboot of Sonic Spinball (maybe with proper physics this time...)
