Nymble 2 is a turn-based puzzle platformer. Runs on desktop and mobile! You play as Jack (from Jack and the Beanstalk) who jumps over things to interact with them. Find the seedling and plant it in the soil to advance to the next level!

Here's a demo of the first 20 levels. For those who played the first game, you'll see some familiar mechanics and enemies. Jack continues to ascend the never-ending beanstalk to explore several more new worlds. The full game will feature at least 100 levels in total; maybe up to 140. It will feature a cast of new enemies and clever new ways to interact with the environment.

For the past few years I've been working on Nymble 2 on and off. It's entirely a solo project: design, graphics, music, animation, coding, and all. The codebase was completely rebuilt from scratch, to make it more scalable. Currently designing the rest of the levels which will be released with the full game, but I will share updates as it progresses, and maybe even drop a playable teaser here and there.

Please let me know if you have any feedback in the comments. As this is a demo, there may be bugs; please report any bugs you encounter. Enjoy!
