Um... I love this game so much.
There's that trend of making 3d mascot platformers that are these huge AAA collectathon affairs. Then there is the quick speedy delight of Toree... where you go through beautiful low polygon levels in like an hour. The whole thing is glorious and the APPROPRIATE amount of effort has been given to the 3d mascot platformer.

You know what? I am a fan of a franchise with games that are a buck each! When is 3 releasing???? I would totally recommend this game. It improves upon a lot of things from the first, but there is one thing it didn't do. I'll get that out of the way. It was too easy. The first game had a challenge with those annoying moving vehicles you have to jump on and some of the levels were harder. This game doesn't have as much of a challenge and most of the levels don't have moving platforms to jump on. I also think it needed a bit more variety. It did introduce something new that wasn't in the first, but when it comes to the platforms, it's generic. The first had ice to run on and more things like that, but this game doesn't really have much of that. I like the added green jump shooter though. If it wasn't there this game would've been bland. But other than that I enjoyed it. I think the game fixed my problem with the ending of the first where it actually has a boss fight giving the game a nice climax. I also thought that the game ran a bit smoother than the previous one. My biggest improvement though is there is more than running and jumping. The first game was only that along with collecting stars, but there wasn't much else. This one had an attack when you walk through the green wire where you can attack enemies. It gives you something else to do. Obviously there is the boss fight too, but in the main levels it added something. I think that if the developers combined this and Toree 3D, with some improvements in difficulty and variety with 2, then this could've been a nice two hour game. That could fix my problem with the end of 3D and the problems with 2. In the end, for a buck it was great and I made way too long a review for a one dollar indie game on Switch. I highly recommend this and Toree 3D. Release Toree 3!

Still a fun breezy time for a super cheap price. I'm not sure its quite as good as the original, the level designs as a whole just don't click with me as much as the original ones did. Also the end-boss is a GIANT jerk. Its still worth getting for those who want a neat little bit of bite-sized nostalgia.
wtf im a toree fan now
Better in every aspect to the first game.
Improved on the level design by focusing on speed and removing all the objects that had you stopping for seconds in its prequel such as fans, elevators, the need to wait for some platforms to get closer and the list goes on...
The music is also better in here, Sparkle Park was a banger.
At the end of the game they added a Klonoa-esque boss battle which I thought was great for a change.
Like its prequel, this game can be completed in less than an hour and it's $1.

A direct improvement over the first game in practically every way. Still super short but the levels are much speedier and thrilling to play through. I would really love if this series eventually got a more full experience, this game is absolutely worth the price of admission with how cheap it is but it feels like it just barely taps into its potential.
