These games are short, but the meanings people have found for the games are really neat. If we think about it, these games show some of what happens in our life. This one is how we sacrifice what makes us unique in order to be what society thinks we should be. If we do not, others will make fun of us or be hostile.

Apparently, I can't jump without the help of the crystal thieves, which are piling on top of me while I'm only hanging on by a megapixel. Derp.
5/5

When I couldn't fly and saw a mass of pink squares i tried backtracking and was like "Oh Shrapnel!" when I realized I was stuck. Interesting using them to get to high places.

This game somehow gave me a whole gaming concept and backstory without even displaying any words beside the title. I wish all games could be like this.

Omg! The pink squares stacked on each other and made stairs! I'm serious! I climbed all the way up and got the crystals :D

This is more close to a full game than the first. I really liked it, but I would like to see the episodes together in one game if possible.

Agreed BrokenWiseman.
And once you've lost it though, they help you themselves to get what you want.
It's the compromise that does it for me...

It seems that this episode is about conformity. The pink squares are hostile towards you, preventing you from getting the crystals. You want those crystals so badly that you're willing to give up what makes you unique (flying) so that the pink squares will accept you. In the end, you have all the crystals, but you have given up all of your abilities.
It's amazing when a game can convey deep messages without even having dialogue. 5/5

A very great game. i lked the fact that it is longer than the the first one but much more simple. Great graphics and music. 5/5

Quinn's Review: The Black Forest 2 doesn't have the same arty ambience and wistful melancholia of the first instalment, but it does have in its favour greater length. Whereas 1 was an anti-Pac, 2 is an anti-platformer. First you have no gravity, then you have nothing but gravity as your jump button goes from hover mode to grounded. The music was a tad more stable in this iteration, but the graphics have far more depth, and I just loved the tiny bouncing pink things. I think I enjoyed number one more for its ambient experimentalism, but the second has actual gameplay, so I'm going to enjoy this novel take on genre and gleefully move on the the next intriguing episode.
