Reviews
- AP2 improves upon its predecessor with better graphics, more polished visuals, and a great soundtrack that enhances the overall experience.
- The controls are more responsive and the level design is significantly better, providing a fairer challenge that is enjoyable for both casual players and achievement hunters.
- The game offers a decent length with about 24 levels, and while it is more challenging, it remains rewarding and fun to play.
- The lack of checkpoints within levels can lead to frustration, especially in more challenging sections where players must restart from the beginning after a hit.
- Some players have reported issues with hitboxes, particularly with enemy interactions and moving coins, leading to unfair deaths and gameplay inconsistencies.
- While the game is an improvement, it still feels somewhat repetitive in terms of obstacles and mechanics, lacking significant evolution from the first installment.

The music in the game has received positive feedback, with many praising the improved soundtrack compared to the first installment. Reviewers noted the enjoyable chiptune compositions that enhance the gameplay experience, although some felt the intensity of the music didn't always match the visuals. Overall, the soundtrack is considered a significant improvement, contributing to a fun and immersive atmosphere.
“The music in the levels was pretty good but felt very intense compared to what you were hearing and what your eyes were seeing.”
“The music is again an assortment of pretty good chiptunes.”
“The best soundtracks are the ones you don't even notice, and that's how I felt playing.”
“Compared to the first game, it has better graphics, less bugs (not to say there were none), and decent music.”
“The graphics are of course very retro, but I still like the art design and the soundtrack.”
“Music on the whole is way better as well.”

The gameplay in Ap2 closely mirrors that of its predecessor, featuring a similar structure and level count, but players express a desire for more variety in obstacles and mechanics. While the challenge is better designed, some elements, like a torch that inconsistently blocks bullets, indicate a need for further refinement to enhance overall satisfaction. Overall, the game feels like a rehash of the first installment, leaving players wanting more innovation.
“Ap2 is very similar to 1 in terms of structure, amount of levels (about 24), the gameplay and achievements you can expect.”
“Like there was a torch in one level that for some reason blocked some bullets on the screen, but it wasn't bad enough to hinder gameplay.”
“While the challenge is more fairly and interestingly designed in the second game, you're still left wishing for more obstacle variety or new game mechanics over the course of the game since it's a re-tread of the obstacles and mechanics from the first game.”

The graphics have seen improvements compared to the first game, featuring cleaner, retro Game Boy-esque visuals that some players appreciate for their art design. However, there are concerns regarding the lack of a launcher for graphics settings and control rebinding options, which detracts from the overall experience. While the graphics are different, they are not universally considered better or worse, maintaining a nostalgic aesthetic.
“Compared to the first game, it has better graphics, less bugs (not to say there were none), and decent music.”
“The graphics have improved and the level design.”
“There is some devolution though as the game doesn't have a launcher with graphics or control settings this time around and in-game settings don't offer control rebinding either - also with no external programs the game defaults to analog stick for controller movement.”
“The graphics are different but not better or worse, that is to say they're again clean Game Boy-esque graphics.”
“The graphics are of course very retro, but I still like the art design and the soundtrack.”

The game experiences occasional glitches and hiccups, but many users feel it remains enjoyable and worth purchasing, especially if found on sale or in a bundle. Despite these stability issues, players find the experience rewarding and manageable within a few hours.
“There are still odd glitches and hiccups, but if on sale or in a bundle, I'd say it's worth it. It can be beaten in a few hours while still feeling rewarding.”
