  • graphics
    43 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of Commander Cool 2 are generally well-received, with many players appreciating the charming cartoonish art style and colorful visuals that evoke a retro platformer feel. However, some users noted issues such as lag, simplistic designs, and occasional flickering textures that detract from the overall experience. While the graphics are considered decent for a budget title, they may not impress those seeking high-end visuals.

    • “The graphics & animations are amazing.”
    • “Great game, I like the retro graphics style, it looks great.”
    • “I love the simple but effective graphics.”
    • “The graphics are simplistic, the controls are basic, and although not a terrible game, my advice is to wait for a decent sale, then give it a shot.”
    • “The graphics are a bit too flat and cartoonish for my taste, and the colors as well as the flashing effects often make it hard to tell the background apart from objects, especially when there is a lot going on on the screen.”
    • “The terrain graphics flicker a lot, not as much as to the point of hurting your eyes, but when you notice it, it's a bit irritating.”
  • gameplay
    30 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many players noting issues with control fluidity and repetitiveness, leading to a lack of engagement. While some appreciate the charming art style and solid platforming mechanics, others criticize the gameplay as generic and lacking innovation, suggesting it feels more like a collection of familiar elements rather than a unique experience. Overall, the game offers decent content but may not justify its price for those seeking a fresh or captivating gameplay experience.

    • “The gameplay possesses a charming style all its own and the focus thankfully is on gameplay above all else (as it should be).”
    • “Its a good platformer, with cute cartoonish graphics, interesting gameplay and much content.”
    • “The platforming elements are really solid, including some of the physics elements like the swinging stones and rolling boulders.”
    • “The controls for the game don't handle well; they're not fluid or smooth, and it borders on the point where the gameplay itself feels laggy. For that to be present in this type of game really brings it down.”
    • “The gameplay gets repetitive quite quickly.”
    • “Definitely not worth the money, considering how generic the gameplay is. You could play a flash game of similar (or better) quality for free.”
  • music
    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in Commander Cool 2 is generally well-received, with many players appreciating its catchy, Mario-esque synthesized MIDI style and enjoyable sound effects.

    • “A simple, challenging, weird/funny looking platformer game.”
    • “Controls are easy, up to 4 player local co-op/versus, online play (I have not yet played online but local co-op is fun). Various skins allow for some fun customization and humorous weapons (severed unicorn head that pukes rainbows!) make it fun to play.”
    • “Funny platformer with good design.”
  • story
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story revolves around a grumpy janitor who steals a time machine, prompting players to travel back in time to recover it, featuring a total of 33 levels with various missions.

    • “According to its story, a grumpy janitor steals a time machine, so the company calls you to use a time machine prototype, travel back in time and recover the original.”
    • “Even though the game is in story mode, there is actually only a beginning cutscene, but as you go through the levels you will not see anymore, even after beating the final boss.”
    • “The story happens in a skippable intro.”
  • stability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “However, sometimes there's a part that is a little bit buggy; for example, after the enemy was attacked, it gets stuck on a platform and is unable to move.”
    • “Bugs and glitches: perhaps there are not many of them, but they happen sometimes. I got stuck a few times and experienced random game crashes.”
  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “Performance-wise, this runs smoothly, and I appreciate that it's not a blocky rip-off or 16-bit.”
    • “Nevertheless, in its early access stage, the entertainment is very satisfactory, and performance issues are nearly imperceptible, other than the occasional crash.”
    • “The game suffers from significant optimization issues, leading to frequent frame drops and stuttering during gameplay.”
    • “Despite the interesting gameplay, the lack of proper optimization makes it nearly unplayable on lower-end systems.”
