Loved the first one for its gameplay essentialism and was pleasantly surprised to find that instead of adding more stuff for the sequel, Toree 2 actually takes out some of the stuff that dragged its predecessor down and streamlines itself into a cute little running and jumping game that would no doubt make Sonic the Hedgehog envious.

Some dodgy controls (pls listen to Kaizen Game Works re: jump buttons), but I'm gonna go Death of the Developer on this one and say it was an intentional design choice to amp up the teeny tiny tension.

Would be an absolute five-bagger if it wasn't for the crummy boss battle that simply doesn't belong in the game. Game developers, remember to normalise the signal level on your audio files if you respect ears...
