A sequel to a favorite of mine, certainly keeps the spirit alive. Very similar in format and style, though a bit more compact package.
I'd classify it as a needleventure, with a heavy focus on trigger needles interspersed with bosses and a few additional gimmicks. It looks good and flows well, with the bosses generally being easier than the platforming I found. It has that Gwiz charm that maintains the gameplay appeal of a serious game with some intentionally silliness along the way.
The platforming picks up over the course of the game, and I greatly appreciated that it got a lot more interested as time went on, and starts mixing in some quirky gimmicks, making a nice balance between smooth platforming that flows and slower parts with some thinking.
The bosses are fun interludes, and definitely a plus for me - each one standing out in their own way without hurting the pace of the game.
Overall, if you like GWiz's stuff, especially Christmas Deliveries, this is a no brainer. For anyone else, if you like needleventure with tougher platforming mixed with easier bosses, its a fun time and worth a play.

Didn't like stage 6 due to the length of the saves and the uncomfortably high difficulty, but everything else was fantastic. Really solid needle-venture and even better than the first Christmas Deliveries. Gwiz is a a madman.

Brillant sequel of a brillant game. While it has a huge emphasis on triggers which is not something I'm particulary a fan, I really liked it even if it was also a bit shorter than the first game. Final stage was really clever but also a huge spike in difficulty, I wish it was less exigent at some points or maybe had more saves. Bosses were also a bit weak.
I have a sweet spot for the first game so I would say I liked this one less, but I would of course recommend it to anyone.
