Report #146: 12 Labours of Hercules II: The Cretan Bull

Well, another franchise game completed


This is my week of short game completion :D I was challenged to play the game by bron, although I said in my last post about the first game, that I probably don't play the next game for a year or so. Haha. I enjoyed it.

The second game is almost the same as the first, there are only a few new elements. Like a super heavy boulder, which requires a lot more resources. A few changes when it comes to auto-generating resources and one difficulty more. You have the casual mode (without time limit) and then two difficulties the same as the first game. For almost all achievements you can play with medium difficulty. Casual difficulty will exclude you from some more achievements. And for "Beat the Dev record 5 times" you actually need to play 5 levels on expert, otherwise you won't get enough points. I used the mini-games aka. final levels of each stage to get those and the very first level. And got it within a few minutes.

In this game it actually happened, that I got stuck at some point, out of resource. Unable to reach the end of the level. Turned out you need to keep a strategy to not collect resources although you already are at the limit for a resource.
