I really like this game :3 I think it makes a lot of improvements.
But I think it has one really big issue, compared to the first game the level design is really boring and bland 3: I don't like how it looks at all. Most of the levels look the same. The level design feels extremely rushed. I assume most of the time was spent on the 3D animations. A lot of the layouts of the levels are just down right frustrating, tons of maze's that lead to dead ends, or high up places that lead to dead ends.
Hope the level design gets reworked and maybe a few zones purged. First game's level design was so much more colorful and pretty. This ones just looks all the same.
