Great game... but what's with the editor mode when we press E?
Reviews for "Wrath of Anubis 2"
Small things to fix
I find it hilarious that the score of Wrath of Anubis is 4.17 while the score of Wrath of Anubis 2 is 3.57 when they are practically the same game! It just proves that people are crybabies when the game they are playing is too hard. Anyways, onto the review...
Despite your effort to solve all problems with the controls, I still have one: the fact that duck and action are the same button. I would customize the controls to get rid of this problem but they're the same button no matter what I do! When I'm walking and I want to open a chest, its fine, however, when I'm trying to flip a switch high up on a wall, it causes problems because it interferes with my ability to continue sliding on the wall.
Another thing that bothers me is the animation of those things that shoots arrows. I'm having a hard time distinguishing whether they're about to shoot arrows or not. It seems that it takes 3 or 4 different forms that are only a couple of pixels apart making it hard to know when the arrow will be fired. To keep it simple, it should only have 2 forms: "About to fire" and "Not about to fire".
My third problem is the ghosts. My problem isn't that they make the game too hard, its the fact that they just randomly appear. It makes coming up with a strategy for the stage completely useless because you can be thrown off the course of the strategy at any time if a blue ghost appears where it shouldn't. It makes beating the game require that the player gets lucky and luck is something that really doesn't belong in a platformer.
A couple more things to add:
- Levels 14 - 24 should tell you how many idols you've found when you stand near the door
- I noticed that the Quit Complaining medal doesn't work. I tried changing all the controls and nothing happened. I heard that you had to right click the game and click the website at the top but that doesn't work for me either. A better medal explination would be nice.
Other than that, you have a great game and I would be happy to know that there was another sequel coming! 8/10 for all your hard work!
Great game but glitchy
loved the first one and like this one as well, but the problem with the running automatically glitch is a pain in a game that requires precision. I wish I could get farther than lvl 2 but that glitch keeps running me into all kinds of problems

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I found the fix!!!!!!!! Now newgrounds just has to approve the update...
Also, can you test the update on my website? www.jflashgaming.com
Thanks
8-Bit = Awesome
Now, I'm a real sucker when it comes to retro style games, the art style was great and the music fit it perfectly. BUT, the game is a little unforgiving on the difficulty, it's really hard. And I know the warning says HARD, but it should be VERY HARD, but none the less, it's a great game and thank you for making it.
This game is a great sequel.
Although it was extremely difficult, I like all of the new enemies and traps, and I like that you don't need gems to open a door anymore. Next game I would like to see:
Horus-style guards (to match the Anubis guards)
Sphinxes
Insanely hard to kill bosses (Giant Anubis Guard, Pharaoh, Giant Sphinx)
Fire-related traps
