User blog comment:AustinCarter4Ever/Cave Chaos 2 is Aggy.../@comment-3060206-20120519052241

I have to admit, this was one of the sequels I was kind of disappointed in. Don't get me wrong; it was a good game and all, it just seemed to lose the element of "chaos" which I was really expecting for this sequel. I agree with the overall speed of the of the game though; there were some moments where the bats were coming at a slow pace, which was quite the change from the first Cave Chaos. As for the falling platforms, give them some time to fully come down before jumping on them.

There were some good things about the game, though. I enjoyed the touched-up graphics and a few of the levels that were quite fun. Another good thing was the fact that once a miner got a power up, they wouldn't be able to get that same power up again. This was a major problem for Nitromians like me who play multiplayer games in multiplayer mode. My sister would always be the miner in front with the first Cave Chaos and she would be the one who would take all the power ups, making it really frustrating.

I was surprised to see how many enemies didn't make their appearances in this sequel as well. That worm disgusted me. Most of the enemies were actually quite beneficial to the game, so it was interesting to know the boundaries between when an enemy's attack became helpful and when it was harmful. I also agree with you on the music; I like it (especially the title), but it set more of an eerie, mysterious feeling to the game as opposed to the "fast-paced chaotic" feel you get when playing the first Cave Chaos.

Overall, I felt this was just a really laid back Nitrome game. I played it with my sister for about an hour and we had already beaten it. I was utterly shocked at how quick it was. Nitrome must have run into some pretty serious issues when making this game if they had to tone it down so much. Oh, well. That will give me more time to try beating Final Ninja or Swindler (of which I sadly found at my game saves for Swindler had been erased!).

I think I will also post a portion of this comment on JayisGames - the part about the Cave Chaos 2 elements, at least. =)
