Well done Mario 2 rip off. There are some differences, but the feel is almost exactly the same. The content is good, but nothing really original.
Reviews for "Drake and The Wizards 2"

We take inspiration from a lot of old school games, like Donkey Kong Country, and I don't have a problem admitting it. I simply don't understand why you feel it has more resemblance with Mario 2 specifically.
Anyway, the critic is still valid. We were aiming for a game with good controls and few bugs; a "well done Mario 2 rip off" is actually a compliment. Now that we polished that aspect to an acceptable level, we can focus on create something less generic for our next games.
Great game. I played it all through in one sitting. The controls are more fluent now and the addition of the upgrade shop is quite nice. I've only noticed one problem however, when entering a new area the music will stop sometimes other than that I love this game

Hi Thomas, could you please let us know what INTERNET BROWSER are you using and what is your operating system please? Thanks
The game Has a lot of potential, i played some of the first some time ago, but time has caught up to me, and i am 18, i cant play this as it was definitely targeted for a much younger audience between 12-18. I find the programming, coding and graphics absolutely wonderful though, and the music while it was annoying for an adult :P, it is great for younger folks! amazing value, it reminded me right away when i was playing Super wario bros or kirby for the gameboy advance or color, so its like a full retail game! for free! wonderful i say!. I bet you guys will improve this, and work with all the ideas the audience offers. Its fundamental to see what the people that play suggest, as they are the ones that bring and put value on your published games (: keep up the good work!

One of the most important things to do the game is the players opinion, when they play DRAKE 1 they give us a lot of ideas and ask for a new version, so with this new version we will take a new feedback from you and take note about it to a new game of the saga. We love you like the game and thank you for your feedback.
A little background information: I'm a retro gamer and a bit of a Super Nintendo wizard. This game presents itself like so many Super Nintendo games I fell in love with as a child and still play to this day. It happens to be a little too easy for my tastes, but is none-the-less very enjoyable and has made a place on my favorites list.
A lot of places were found lacking in challenge, at least on my level. Many places I fell, I expected to die only to land on solid ground, or jumped over moving spikes to find they didn't even reach half-way to me where they should have shot up and crushed me. All of my "Aw that was a mistake" instincts seemed falsified. This is fine, if you don't want to be too hard on your players. It is merely personal preference.
Another area of unexpected ease was my ability to retry bonus areas. In my experience, they are often closed after one try. This is likely allowed because your shop is reliant on the gems at the end of the bonus levels, and that is understandable.
This game is chock full of Super Nintendo nostalgia, good gameplay, and great design. I look forward to another installment and plan on playing its predecessor.
