I liked the first one and this one is good too. The gameplay has welcomed changes, but the story is less romantic. I liked how the mascot interacted with the spike trap in the first one. I think I would've liked seeing more of that in this one.
Is there a restart button? I wanted to restart the reviewer level because I had already failed once and I felt that this time was going to be a failure too. I pressed R, but that did nothing, and so I pressed Esc, but that sent me to the title screen and didn't save any of my progress. The story isn't so long that restarting is a big deal, but it's kind of annoying. I'd rather have a restart button over a saving feature.
Seeing my meta score go down was the most annoying feature of this game, in a humorous way =p
