IZBOT 2

this was really fun to play!

Short and fun platformer. Levels are difficult enough to take some effort but not annoyingly so. The ability to cancel the dash leads to a lot of fun movement options. Sort of like a meatboy with a dash in a way? I have some minor gripes, the hitboxes are a bit off sometimes and I think it can be difficult to see what's ahead of you in some levels, but it is a lot of fun. Maybe wait for a sale though if you're worried about length.

This is certainly an improvement over the first game I gotta say. From the double jump and air dash mechanics being more responsive to having enough space to traverse levels in different ways. This was a much appreciated fix to a concern I had and it was also accompanied by the lack of unnecessary collectibles and cringy dialogue. Just cutscenes and the game presenting itself to the player in all its more neatly pixel art drawn glory. In terms of the difficulty, I'm not keen on saying this was easier due to me becoming better at the genre, the levels being more fair, the previously mentioned enhanced controls or a mix of the above. Certainly, those struggling with the precision platforming kind of games might still find this hard, but for the rest a few hours should suffice. I'd say, this as an overall experience has earned its price tag... mostly since the ending felt a bit abrupt and would do with a bit more tweaking.

c:

Super fun little platformer in the mold of a Celeste, Super Meat Boy, or Kaizo Mario (though a touch easier then any of those). Significantly more fluid and fast paced then the first game, and a bit longer, though it's still probably only an hour or two long. Definitely worth picking up on sale, probably still a recommend at full price - just know that it won't take you very long to beat if you're used to precision platformers.
