![]() None of this is helped by the technical problems Woodle Tree 2 has. I would usually look to the shadow of the character to know where I was jumping, but you have very little control over where you’re going and the camera controls are so bad being able to see the shadow consistently would be a miracle. There is a glide mechanic to help you travel further, but often further isn’t the problem and it’s the shorter jumps that provide issues. Jumping is very inconsistent, with the distance covered varying wildly. The jump tutorial is shown after the first set of jumps! Most of the game’s mechanics are tutorialised by images set into the walls of the world near where they might be useful, but often much after they would first be useful. There is a distinct lack of information given to the player in Woodle Tree 2 which makes the platforming very underwhelming. There are some little creatures that occupy this world, and some of them are aggressive, though this can be very hit-and-miss as to what will actually kill you as there is no feedback as to when you’ve been hit or how much damage you can actually take. I found it possible to attach myself to places where two blocks joined to climb to places I wasn’t supposed to be. The world itself is a bit of a mess: a series of different-coloured blocks stacked on top of each other poorly. I have no attachment to this character or this world. There is no indication of any character traits and this makes Woodle Tree 2 really rather bland to play. The acorn makes little squeaking noises occasionally, but past that it has no real character. ![]() You play as what I think is a square acorn carrying a leaf, and you have to jump around a series of coloured blocks collecting fruit for reasons that aren’t explained. Woodle Tree 2: Worlds has none of those things, and builds on the reputation of the original to be a wholly disappointing experience. Successful 3D character platformers need three things: likeable or relatable characters, good level design and tight controls.
