After reading the comments and realising that this is only a demo, i freaking picked up my laptop and threw it across my room. The first part was great, but this? This. Is. Shit. This doesn't even deserve a 1/5.

I had to view a Let's Play on YouTube to discover that I had to hold down and jump to make it over the first big pit, which of course isn't mentioned at all in the description, the instructions, OR in game even though it has tutorials for every single other maneuver you need to do. Also, telling us to buy the game as soon as we get to the boss? Bite me. At least let us fight/beat the boss first and THEN tell us to buy it. It would also be nice if you let us know up front that this was only a demo. 1/5.

Nice, the "Great" Cogs decided to rip off the guys game idea and make you have to buy it, giving the orginal guy a bad name. Good job.

Yeah, so uh, when you make your players fight really hard to get to the end of a surprise demo, you can kiss your sales goodbye. Bad play.

Oh dang, it's a demo. But, still I can't believe there actually was a sequel. This was one of my first favorite games on Kongregate, I was in hope of that sequel for so so too too long. You should've done a bit more advertising on your old game, and probably used your old account. I was playing the first again because it is the Badge Of The Day game, but had to drop that, as I'm playing through this demo now :)

Let's get one thing straight here: The gameplay is actually trash. The controls suck, to the point were even the game tries to put you out of your misery, the levels are annoying and they don't even correspond to the plot. How did I go from science and werewolves to ancient and boring? And the traps are so pointless. Got me excited for nothing but trash.

I'm all for being challenged by a game, particularly a platformer, but this went on a little too long for anyone's taste. The controls were really slippery, and I could not get the alternates to work for the life of me. The enemy design was like the first, and took long enough to make you use your attacks carefully, which was a good point. But the majority of this demo was avoiding traps and obstacles, which is not at all reminiscent of the wolf-dominated land that the description led me to believe. Lastly, the demo ends at the beginning of a boss fight, which is extremely disappointing. I might have tried it out on Steam, if I were sure that the game wasn't going to be a series of near-impossible pitfalls.

Let's count out the many ways this game lies to us, shall we? [1] I couldn't get the IJKL button map to work at all. [2] Having to tap Space in order to kill enemies is tedious and, in quite a few cases, just won't work as the game drops inputs at random. [3] The visuals are so disgustingly small and dark that I can barely make anything out. [4] The old physics engine is completely out the window, further removing any familiarity from the first game. [5] The old game had a tough but fair level design; this game just has you traversing gauntlets of traps and obstacles that seemingly go on forever. [6] Pixel-perfect platforming plus slippery aerial controls equals an infuriating experience for everyone. [7] You're not even going to let us try the boss? At least have the decency to tell us this is a demo version. I liked VDVP1, loved it enough to make it a favorite of mine... but this? If this is any indication of what the full game on Steam is like, I'm keeping my $3.29 CAD.

I think what people don't like is how difficult the game can be, it's definitely challenging but it's a decent game! Not quite the same as the first, but not a disappointment by any means.

el rozamiento con el piso esta muy bajo, me vuelvo loco en la parte de los pinches con las plataformas iluminadas, especialmente en los saltos donde hay un dardo que sale disparado de la pared constantemente.

at first I was excited that the sequel had come out, until I actually tried to play it. what made the first episode great was the fact that it focused more on stealth versus the platforming. the controls felt so damn slippery I fell of more tiny ledges than I care to think about.

How on earth could you fail so completely after making the original? I would complain about the the controls, but they're virtually non-existent and/or completely broken.
*slow clap* Bravo.

The game made me very angry because.1 the level with the spikes I had to play it for over 100 thousand times and then I discover its a demo, that moment I wanted to break everything I found near me and demolish the house.

i found a couple glitches as well, i really liked the first one when i played it. This one is okay i guess but i wish that they kept the feel of the first one :b

I'm sorry, but this game seems to have some serious issues or bugs. My character very frequently moves without me touching the directional buttons, causing him to drift around in the air during precision platforming or simply walk off the edges of the platforms. As I type this, he is pushing endlessly against a wall through no input of my own. During the 'falling' section with the platforms covered in blue light, I initially thought the light signified that it was forcing my character to crouch, as he was crouching without me pressing 'S', and that I had to figure out how to get through using only the long jump. After numerous failed attempts, I realised that the game had messed up and he was not actually supposed to be constantly crouching. I loved the first instalment, but this, at least for me, is almost unplayable.

Something seems off... The first game was uploaded to Kong via "Weremsoft", while this one is released by "Greatcogs"...
I think I found why it's so bad.
The original creators didn't have a hand in this, more than likely. And from what I've read, that makes me think that more and more, because of how bad it is, according to other players.

Wow, you deserve to be taken away and thrown in a gulag for what you did to this game. You took the first one and shat on its legacy to make a buck. This is why steam is a double edged sword. Sure, it lets creators who otherwise wouldn't be able to get their stuff out there do so, but it also makes it easy enough developers with games that once upon a time they would've never even considered trying to charge for they now do, even though they don't have much place doing so. The only thing this has over the first one is length, and we don't even get that here in the totally unannounced demo (which I didn't even play through, because seriously, screw these controls). And it sounds silly, but the shitty, non-customizable controls only add to that; "Well this game is so great and I'm so great I will tell YOU what controls to use. Think they suck? Too bad. Pay me anyways". I hope you don't make a red penny and it serves as a wake up call.
