Better than the first by far. I remember they had the nostalgia critic as the midstage boss

I think I liked the layout of the first game more, having the larger levels with a boss fight at the end. But this one is still fun, just a little more monotonous.

Pardon me while I literally copy-paste my review of the first game.

It's childish humor thrown into an "unfair" old-school style platformer. Honestly it's gameplay is closer to Mega Man than anything else - Jump and Shoot, and plenty of insta-kills.
It's really good and fun for that kind of game - if you're into that sort of thing, definitely worth playing.

2 is basically more of the same as 1 - functionally they're very similar games. If you enjoyed 1, you'll like 2.

Not as good as I thought it would be, but it's okay.

Just a slight improvement over the first game. Intentional bullshit is still present, and the music and visuals are still very strong. I'd say the level themes aren't quite as strong this time around and I prefer certain parts of the original overall, but you can't go wrong with either.

So if the first game was supposed to be a parody/representation of the show, this this game was the same but for James Rolfe's other shows and personas and I gotta say it was brilliantly done, it still has the level feel of the first game but with a bit of a slight twist, while the first game played VERY close to Mega Man, this game feels much like Metroid to the point it has a VERY slight Metroidvania feel to it. The levels are much shorter but there are more screens and puzzles to go through.

This game is a bit more about going through puzzles and platforming so it doesn't feel AS tight due to how the control for wall jumping isn't quite perfected, but it's nothing game breaking. The game does play well all-in-all, but some of the power-ups you find needed some tweaking here and there, but the attempt was done decently well.

This game has actually better dialogue than the first and I think it just points out even more how the show is a parody of what it once was, I still like the show, but this game kinda confirmed to me that the show is getting that seasonal rot that shows go through if they've existed a while with not enough changes.
