The gameplay in "Dadish 2" is widely praised for its engaging mechanics, creative boss battles, and challenging levels that build on the foundation of the first game.

“This game adds some cool new mechanics, and the third boss fight especially is so creative and cool.”
“Tons of new mechanics helped to keep the gameplay feel new and fresh, whilst still keeping the charming dialogue and cartoonish graphics.”
