Danger Cliff 2

Danger Cliff 2 is an open-ended 2D platformer in which you run, jump and drill through huge, interconnected levels. You choose from three playable characters, explore branching paths and collect Prism Shards as you search for the source of a new threat to Clifford’s planet.

Story

A couple of years ago, Clifford destroyed the evil Dark Prism starship created by Richard and restored his friend Boxer’s home, the Star Prism, to its place in the sky. Now several miniature Dark Prisms have been detected near Clifford’s planet. Prisma, one of the Guardian race who helped build the Star Prism, calls on the citizens of Conland for help, but only Clifford and his friendly rival Jetstream respond.

The trio must explore vast regions, use their different abilities and stop the source of the Dark Prisms before they drain all the energy from Clifford’s planet. Along the way, they help Prisma fulfil her duty as a Guardian, support Jetstream as he faces ridicule from his own people, and try to keep Clifford focused.

Explore and move

Levels have distinct themes, mechanics and branching routes. You can pursue collectables in the order you choose and use the game’s movement mechanics and optional moves to tackle challenges in different ways.

While exploring, you may find a Dream Star. It transforms your character into a dragon, granting free flight within a limited area. In this form, you must navigate airborne enemies and obstacles while adapting to the level’s mechanics and layout.

The characters

Clifford is a cheerful young explorer who is quick to help friends and enemies alike, though he has a very short attention span. His Air-Dash gives him a burst of momentum and extra height. If timed just before a hit, it becomes a Star-Guard that negates damage and restores his Rush Moves. Using a Rush lets him Air-Dash or Star-Guard again, so he can chain these moves without landing if there is something to parry off.

Jetstream is an Orchanical, an orca species with metallic properties. He stays calm under pressure and is slower than his fellow Orchanicals, who mock him for it, though he is still fast by Clifford’s standards. His Rocket-Jump blasts him through vertical challenges or across large gaps. Underwater, Submarine-Swim gives him full range of motion and lets him fire Ice-Beams at enemies.

Prisma is one of the mysterious Guardian-folk, builders of the Star Prism and enemies of the Destroyer clan. Kind and caring, she is also a skilled fighter and acrobat. Her Prism-Guard briefly negates damage from hazards, letting her take routes the other characters cannot; she can reactivate it as soon as the effect wears off. Spin-Float slows her descent.
