Banana Kong 2

This game and its predecessor are pretty fun! They feel like as close as we are gonna get to a DK auto-runner on the phone. I will say I think I had a lot more fun with the first Banana Kong game. This one has some core issues and cuts out a lot. For example, the charge ability felt creative and kinetic. In order to enter the underwater you had to dash through the sewer pipe, in order to enter the underground you had to dash through the barricades, to enter the treetops you had to dash at the perfect time when on a vine! Each area was really fun and it all came together because you wanted to save your boost for when you could enter a new area, especially because the treetops and underwater don’t kill you! But then again you didn’t want to save your dash for too long because of the catching up banana hoard! And then they had the Rocket which didn’t require a boost because the area wasn’t any better than the standalone area, it was just different. Having this one not require a boost is a good pace breaker and making all of the areas like that felt pretty lame. For a third title I just hope it builds on the basis of the original with fresh graphics and new ideas! I loved that you have animal buddies!

It’s great to play this sequel to one of the best platform runners on iOS! The graphics has been greatly enhanced and the gameplay feels more fluid. However, when comparing this to the original there are some disappointments. You no longer get to earn (or pay one-time for) the perk of being able to make one mistake but keep on going. This greatly reduces the length of pay and feels less fun to playing the original. There are other quirks as well, like if you get eaten in the lower water level the game abruptly ends. In the original game if you get caught under water you’d get kicked back up to the main level to continue the run. These are disappointing elements that take some of the fun out of the game when compared to the original. So, while it is nice to be able to play this sequel, I sometimes find myself going back to playing the first game and wishing some of the things there were brought over to game 2. But I appreciate the efforts made here with new enemies and challenges and I’m glad to find Banana Kong alive and well with this new version!

I love this game, it’s probably the best infinite runner on mobile. the art and gameplay mechanics are all fantastic. I only have run into a couple bugs. The magnet power-up does not stack with itself. Meaning if I get a second magnet power up while my current magnet is about to run out in 3 seconds, my magnet will still run out in 3 seconds after I grab the second magnet. Another bug I noticed is that it was impossible to clear the mission where it told me to “let Kong jump off the surfboard automatically, then powerdash before landing” I tried many times but I couldn’t complete it so I skipped it with Kong coins. If you could fix the magnet power up that would be awesome, thanks for the cool game!
