I highly enjoyed this puzzle game and its predecessor. The concept of a sequel actually playing out in parallel with the original seems quite novel! The setting, story, music, voiceovers, puzzles, and graphics were excellent... all building well on top of the original. It's more of what I loved in the first game and that's exactly what I was hoping for. I did notice a few spelling mistakes in the (English) dialog and I also can't for the life of me figure out how to get the book (Necronomicon?) after dream fifteen. Is it simply an Easter egg?

The images and videos in the description suggest that you will have more interesting weapons in the sequel than in the original game. But after the 5th or so level the power staff becomes a simple stick with no ranged attack. Lame. Also the controls are still irritating in this version where the swipe-and-hold control option creates all kinds of unintended moves or actions. Feeling very annoyed that the sequel’s description strongly suggests new and interesting weapons and mechanics but it’s just the same old stuff as the original game. I guess you will be happy with the sequel if you don’t want or care that there isn’t really anything new.

I played dungeons of dreadrock 1 a few years ago and loved the simple yet deceptively complex puzzles, along with the gorgeous artwork. To my surprise, I ran across the sequel a few days ago and absolutely devoured it within a few days. This is a joyously well-designed retro puzzler with 101 levels that are difficult, yet not impossible to work through. Just a perfect balance when it comes to challenge. I’ve heard a threequel is on the way. I can’t wait for it to be completed!
