hocus 2

Ok, look. I love the game, it's amazing and the new mechanics plus aesthetics make it better than the first, but I was told that I would be satisfied by the new version which will include more levels, more mechanics, and most importantly, a level editor. The game is great, but it isn't replayable enough. You'd think I could give more than one star easily, but this promise for a new version was over 2 years ago. The only update since then was one bug fix in February 2021. So where's my editor??

It's an improvement and complete revision of the first. No longer are you heading for one point to finish a level, but instead collecting dots located around the area. The pure aesthetic of moving your piece to clear the win condition just satisfies me. Plus the new mechanics along the way made it even more intriguing, as in having to think ahead of time for some levels. It all comes to make this pretty game!

hocus 2 is a tradeoff from hocus 1. On one hand you get a better level select and multiple objects to collect instead of one endpoint to reach, but on the other hand you get arguably worse sound design (with no way to turn the music off) and extra mechanics that don't add enough to the gameplay in my opinion. I would instead recommmend the hocus 1 level pack as a value for money purchase.
