Herman 2

Herman 2 is a humorous, challenging platformer about Herman’s next chapter. The aliens have returned and taken Darla. To seek redemption, Herman must make his way to the top through 50 increasingly difficult levels, using moves such as climbing, digging, throwing tangerines, jumping, kicking, jetpacking, ducking and sliding while solving puzzles and dealing with enemies.

Levels and challenges

Each of the 50 levels has its own music. Levels combine digging, timing and resource-management puzzles, and often begin with a fast, intense alien assault that you need to manage before you can tackle their puzzles and other challenges. A high level of randomization helps keep additional playthroughs varied.

Enemies and mechanics

You face nine types of alien, each with its own attacks, including bowling balls, RC airplanes, smacks and lasers. The game also includes mechanics that draw in part on a game from the early days of personal computing. Controller users can throw backwards as a bonus mechanic; keyboard controls are also included.
