  • Charming retro pixel art with a nostalgic classic point-and-click adventure feel.
  • Well-designed puzzles that are challenging but fair, with a helpful hint system to assist players when stuck.
  • Expanded content and length compared to the first game, including additional minigames, secrets, and a rich atmosphere.
  • Some mini-games, especially fishing and dartboard, can be frustratingly difficult and tedious.
  • Lack of windowed mode and occasional random crashes have been reported.
  • Some puzzles and item usages can feel illogical or cumbersome, and achievement hunting may require repetition or guides.

  • music

    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    56% positive mentions, 27% neutral mentions, 17% negative mentions

    The music in the game is widely praised for its pleasant, soothing, and charming soundtrack that complements the pixel art and overall atmosphere. While generally well-matched to the game’s environments, a few users found some tracks slightly irritating or mismatched. Overall, the soundtrack enhances the cozy, retro feel and immersion of the game world.

    • “The puzzles were really clever, the music really good and the atmosphere made me wish to be a part of the game world.”
    • “Was very surprised at how good the music is as well; there's one track in particular that I found myself just sitting in the room where you hear it and just letting it loop.”
    • “Beautiful pixel graphics, enchanting music, and very cool puzzles.”
    • “Only thing I'd say is the music could be a touch irritating and in some cases, somewhat poorly matched to the motif of the room.”
    • “This is a nice combination of pixel art done in a retro style with soothing music.”
    • “The puzzles are extremely easy but pleasant to solve since the sound effects, music, and art go together so well.”

  • graphics

    17 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    24% positive mentions, 58% neutral mentions, 18% negative mentions

    The graphics are charming, pixelated, and retro-styled, with significantly more detail and a cozy, impressionistic atmosphere reminiscent of classic graphic adventures. While not focused on realism, the visuals effectively complement the engaging puzzles and enchanting music, creating a delightful and nostalgic experience. Fans of pixel art and content-driven games will especially appreciate the aesthetic.

    • “Graphics are significantly more detailed (for a pixel-style game at least), and there is more music for different types of environment.”
    • “This is a lovely little adventure game with charming graphics.”
    • “The graphics and music are still great, especially considering the minimalism in which the game is made; they together create the incredible cozy atmosphere that made the first game so good.”
    • “I would recommend it to those more focused on content than aesthetics, as it is a cute pixelated game.”
    • “"Escape Lala II" is a point & click adventure which is the same in principle as its predecessor game – a set of static sceneries in pixel graphics with puzzles to solve, only it’s about ten times larger.”
    • “This sequel to the delightful first game features more of the same simple visuals and sound design with more involved puzzles, tricky supplemental puzzles, an intuitive hint system, and a generally friendly tone.”

  • story

    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    30% positive mentions, 40% neutral mentions, 30% negative mentions

    The story in this game is subtle and largely conveyed through the environment, puzzles, and context rather than direct dialogue or NPC interactions. It features a light, sometimes abstract narrative with elements like a backstory about lifting an ancient curse and a missing princess, enriching the gameplay without overshadowing the puzzles. Overall, the story complements the immersive atmosphere and encourages exploration and observation.

    • “The landscapes are unique and build the world and story of the game just by pictures.”
    • “Also has more story tucked away than I expected; once you figure out what's really going on with the missing princess, it changes the whole tone of the game.”
    • “The story is told almost entirely contextually.”
    • “This time there is even a backstory about lifting an ancient curse, although there is still almost no interaction with any NPCs.”
    • “It has a trivial story but the game itself is very entertaining.”
    • “This point and click game removes all the typical story and complicated puzzles, so there are only items to be used for advancement.”

  • gameplay

    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    38% positive mentions, 24% neutral mentions, 38% negative mentions

    The gameplay builds on the original with a much larger map, enriched lore, and additional interactive elements and minigames, resulting in a longer and engaging experience. It features well-crafted, imaginative puzzles that are challenging yet rely on simple, accessible mechanics. Overall, the design is sharp and focused on gameplay rather than complex cut-scenes, offering about three hours of enjoyable playtime.

    • “Everything great about the first game, plus a much, much bigger map, more lore, more interactive elements, more game mechanics, minigames, and still more.”
    • “Gameplay is significantly longer, not just because of larger environment, more items and more puzzles, but also thanks to a few minigames which can take some time to complete (and get achievements for them).”
    • “At around 3 hours, I'd say there's enough gameplay for the price and the puzzles and rooms are well crafted, imaginative and a lot of fun to solve.”
    • “None of the mechanics is complex; you never have to face any obstacle with more than a couple of simple steps to solve.”
    • “At around 3 hours, I'd say there's enough gameplay for the price, and the puzzles and rooms are well crafted, imaginative, and a lot of fun to solve.”
    • “Gameplay is significantly longer, not just because of a larger environment, more items, and more puzzles, but also thanks to a few minigames which can take some time to complete (and get achievements for).”

  • atmosphere

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    80% positive mentions, 20% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game's atmosphere is praised for its clever puzzles, excellent music, and a cozy, immersive world that evokes nostalgia and a sense of discovery.

    • “The puzzles were really clever, the music really good and the atmosphere made me wish to be a part of the game world.”
    • “The first LALA was really great (especially for a free game); it reminds me of a time when the most important part of games was not realistic graphics or super-realistic physics, but the deep atmosphere and spirit of discovery.”
    • “The graphics and music are still great, especially considering the minimalism in which the game is made. They together create the incredible cozy atmosphere that made the first game so good.”

  • replayability

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    67% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 33% negative mentions

    Replayability is mixed: while collecting coins and uncovering secrets adds extra incentive to replay, the game's puzzle solutions are easily remembered after one playthrough, limiting long-term replay value for some players.

    • “Finding all the coins and some secrets adds a lot of replayability (unless you use a guide).”
    • “Huge replayability factor.”
    • “Of course, this is one of those games that after you play through once you will have a pretty good recollection of how you managed to solve the puzzles, so replayability is fairly low overall.”
