I personally felt this to be a downgrade from the first game. This sequel gives the Permen the ability to fly (something missing from the first game), adds some isometric-view levels, and (thankfully) gets rid of those board game boss battles. Unfortunately, there isn't a lot of challenge to offer in this game. Once you've maxed out your weapon, taking out enemies and even bosses is a piece of cake. There's also a lot of opportunities to get health refills - in fact, this game is far too generous in that regard. The lower difficulty is likely because the game (like the franchise) is aimed at young children, so the game may be more their speed.

I've always felt this game stuck out like a sore thumb, even for a series where every game in it is radically different from one another. There's a reason for this - it's a reskin of a game based on an anime adaptation of a Japanese shojo manga.

Believe it or not, the anime itself has some pretty crazy plots (Anmitsu goes to space in one episode, there's several episodes where she goes around the world), so why they went with something mundane like Anmitsu going to a bakery of all places is beyond me.
