You gotta ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky?

Well, do ya, punk?

Okay I’m quoting Dirty Harry because this latest update involves a Casino. Get it? It’s a bridge, and I crossed it. Sometimes I can’t help myself, and sometimes I don’t want to. There was probably a better way to open this quick story, but I couldn’t think of it, so here we are.

In hindsight I think it could’ve been worse.

Anyhoo…

Red’s Kingdom keeps on giving right? Right. The good folks at Cobra Mobile have been squirreled away behind closed doors creating more than 50 new levels in this latest update, which involves new foes, The Golden Nut Casino, and a new puzzle mechanic. Now keen observers would spy that I’m borrowing heavily from the iTunes update notes here, and they would be right.

My apologies but there just haven’t been enough hours in the day yet since this update dropped to enable some quality time with this excellent puzzler, but all going well ATVG will jump in this weekend and see what’s to see.

If the original release is anything to go by, which we reviewed here (and loved), then you’re in for a treat. We liked it so much we included it in our article featuring three games you just have to play with the Siri Remote.

Newcomers of course will have access to not only the original levels, but also the first update which already brought two new islands to explore, plus this latest update with another two islands.

Better get cracking folks.

Enjoy!

Happy Friday circle of Earth. And what timing too, on this Eurovision Song Contest weekend. Minus the 2, don’t you think Pursuit of Light is the perfect title for a Eurovision winner? It carries all the optimism, hope, cheese, and reaching for the sky the competition is famous for. After semi-final one I have to say my heart is with Belgium, but your smart money should always be on Sweden.

Full disclosure: I’ve only played the first three levels, so I’m in no position to offer any sort of authoritative critique here – this is purely a tell-it-like-I’ve-seen-it account.

Visually, first impressions of Lemon Jam Studio’s Pursuit of Light 2 are stunning. The backgrounds and cut-scenes are simply gorgeous. The music is also very soothing, with a mysterious and slightly cryptic edge to it. Check out the image above though – is the character from Journey missing a hoodie? Thatgamecompany has a lot to answer for.

Gameplay-wise, Pursuit of Light 2 makes me feel like someone has gone to an awful lot of trouble to try and teach me left from right. And when I grow up, I’m gonna have a very weird associative issue with Moons being left, and Stars being right. Maybe in higher levels gameplay gets more complex, but so far it’s a very simple platform puzzler explored one step at a time by hitting the left or right half of your Siri Remote, depending if the next step tells you it is a Moon or a Star.

It’s hard to write it off this early because it’s so lovely to look at and listen to – surely there is more to come.

Pursuit of Light 2 is free to play so jump in and give it a go, and let us know on the Facebook link up the top of this page if you’re digging it.

Cheers for now.
