With this one I did like the change up of the game play. In the first you only play as one snail. WIth this one you have to switch between snails and it extends the challenge for you. I also liked the soundtrack. The last one is extremely dramatic.

Chapter 2 released early! The space snail saga continues! What difficulties will our intrepid explorers slime through now? I've played about half of this chapter thus far, and I can't wait to finish it tonight!

What an ending to Chapter 2. Great throw back to Sierra classics, loved the puzzles! The parser auto complete is hilarious.

Epic adventure! My 20 minute adventure turned into a 60 minute one because this particular chapter was way harder than the last! The puzzles were very fun but tricky to solve. I loved the game even though it still has some bugs to squash -_- and can't wait to play Chapter 3!

After Chapter 1, I was really looking forward to the second installment of Snail Trek. It certainly did not disappoint. The story is hilarious and flows nicely from the first chapter. There are a few more locations this time (the first chapter had only 3 accessible screens -- 4 if you count empty space -- with almost all the action taking place on the main bridge) which allows for a bit more challenging puzzles.

Despite there being a recap, you really want to have played the first chapter to get into this and not be lost. Go ahead... splurge... it's only a buck and that's pocket change very well spent. A cup of coffee would cost you more and wouldn't bring you half as much enjoyment.

Now I'm still missing 4 points... where oh where?

Snail Quest returns with some clever new puzzles. One or two made me scratch my head, but the solution was always logical and felt a sense of triumph when I finally figured them out. That ending is intense--can't wait to see how things play out in Chapter 3.

This is a great sequel onto the original. These 20-minute adventures are very charming and fun. Phil Fortier is obviously having a great time making these games because it shows in the quality. This makes me enjoy the game that much more. Definitely a recommendation!

So episode 2 steps things up a gear and adds multiple controllable characters which obviously brings another level for the puzzles. I'm enjoying the way this story is evolving.

Great game! Very fun, it has a cute look and is well writen and very logical. No moon logic and 100% entertaining, taking a bit over 30 minutes to complete. Worth the $0.99 asking price.

Part 2 kicks off where Part 1 ends.... The crew manage to make it down to the planet, but things aren't as smooth as they'd like... Also, the planet seems to have a few nasty surprises waiting for them...

Like the first game, this one is about 20 minutes long. The puzzles are a shade more difficult in this game, but there's a wider variety of locations and some nice sierra-like effects. This one lasts a bit longer than the first if you're going for all the achievements.... There's one which requires you to keep a very sharp eye out for what's going on... So I'd say that an average player who wants to get 100% will take between 45 minutes and an hour.

Really fun game, and really enjoyed playing it... Looking forward to part 3.

Chapter 2/4 - just read the game's title, did it make you chuckle, even a little? After seeing all 4 chapters' names, I had a good feeling about the adventure to come and I was not disappointed. This "tap and type" (although, you can point and click in some cases too) game is very enjoyable and the text parser works quite well. Explore the scenes, but also explore the text parser - the tab-complete, auto-correction and up-arrow-for-prior-input are all a real nice touch. Funny and well worth the about 1 hour of entertainment it provides.

Chapter 2: A Snail of Two Worlds
The second chapter of “Snail Trek” sees the remaining crew of the Slimex Explorer class ship finally land on the planet K2-91B. Unfortuntately, their damaged ship is in a worse state than they had expected and it is unfit for lift-off. Short on food, the crew not only has to first find a safe way off the ship, but also proceed with their mission and verify that this planet is habitable to their species.

Just like the first entry, this one too is split into two main objectives, albeit with slightly more difficult puzzles that require more steps to be solved. Players will also be able to switch between the three remaining snails, Christian (yellow), Shelley (blue), and Zoomer (green) by either pressing the space key on their keyboards or clicking a little icon at the top right of the screen using their computer mouse. Not only can they alternate between the trio, however, each crew member has also been given their own inventory and, like in “Maniac Mansion” (1987) or “Day of the Tentacle” (1993, I also reviewed the latter), adventurers will have to switch back and forth between them to advance the plot.

Overall, this chapter does not disappoint. It ups the difficulty and enlarges the game’s world just enough so that those who played the previous title will feel challenged, but not overwhelmed. Just like its predecessor, this one too takes less than one hour to beat and features no dead ends.

Again, Good Old Sierra games for the newbies, in a shell ? ( ^^ And... Can't wait to try out the sequels, #2. )

My pro/meh/con list for this chapter is basically the same as it was for chapter 1:

Pros
-----------------------------------------
-Super classic early Sierra Online-esque style text parser interface.
-Incorporates modern quality of life updates (text autocorrect, in game hints).
-Good music.
-Can die like in classic Sierra games but has built in autosave and retry functions.
-CRT emulation is nice touch for the nostalgia factor.

-New for this chapter is the ability to play as different characters. It adds a new dimension to the puzzles and is always a welcome addition to P&C games.

Meh.
-----------------------------------------
-Extremely short (approx. 20-30 min).

Cons
-----------------------------------------
-No major complaints!

You can pick up the whole series for under 3 bucks so if your interested in playing I suggest grabbing the bundle. On to chapter 3 I go!

Fun sequel to Snail Trek - Chapter 1.

I recommend this if you already played Chapter I (my longish review here). It's continues directly from where the first part left and plays much the same way.

So, it's a text-based graphic adventure game, so although you can move with either mouse or arrow keys, you "do stuff" by typing it out.

The second chapter brings one new mechanic that you can (and in order to complete some puzzles you have to) play with all the unfortunate snailiens. My only qualm about this is that the screen switch (when applicable) takes a few seconds: it could be faster.

I liked the puzzles, although they seemed easier than in Chapter I. The game can (apparently) be completed in 20 minutes. There's a cliffhanger again, as the game continues in part III.

Myself, I took my sweet time and played it for an hour before completion. However, it's been almost a year since I played the first part - maybe that's why I was sluggish.

Wow! What a Wild second chapter!

Everything from meeting new things in hidden places to a devious plot from a new enemy while simply trying to save your species.

If you've played Chapter 1, Chapter 2 is a SOLID continuation.

It costs like a buck. But you really get something that you'll never forget, in a good way.

During the ending scene there was an epic song that played that felt almost ominous. I'm super stoked to see what comes next!

I give this game a HELL YES.

A continuation of the Snail Trek saga, the fellow snails land on the planet they found in the first chapter. The game is quite short and continues in the following chapters.

The game is a homage to old Sierra titles and is definitely recommended to people who love old school point n click games!

My review covers all episodes of the Snail Trek series! I already enjoyed playing the old Sierra games and Snail Trek continues the tradition with an improved text parser.

All four Snail Trek games are interconnected SCI (Sierra Creative Interpreter) episodes in which the protagonists are snails in search of a new planet for their species.

I won't go into detail about the story because I don't want to spoil anything. The episodes are short, exciting and with good puzzle design.

All episodes contain a certain number of achievements that are just waiting to be unlocked. This and the good humor invite you to replay.

My conclusion: Everyone should have played the complete series once in their life! I love the complete series!

SUMMARY

Surprises! Betrayal! Murder? Twists and turns await you in this action-packed and high octane thrill-filled sequel to Snail Trek Chapter 1!

The puzzles are clever and cute, the dialogue is helpful and properly informs you, and it does everything you'd expect from a decent point and click adventure. Bringing in a new environment is much appreciated over the compact area of the ship and seeing the planet surface is neat.

The story is actually, for what it's worth, pretty intriguing. They take an absolutely farcical parody of a theme and manage to make it somewhat compelling and well written with heart-warming humor, which is all you can really ask for from a title such as this, for as cheap as this is.

The sound is also on-point and never irritating and continues from the last one with its catchy ending theme that is strangely energetic.
