Nelly 2: Ep.1
Nelly 2: Ep.1 is the first installment in the sequel to Black Square Studios' original macabre puzzle platform adventure game, and it will make you go "Huh?" and "Zhuh?!" but also "Oooh" and "Ahh". Little Nelly lives all alone in the deep dark forest, where peril literally waits at every turn. But when she goes out one night, she discovers a friend, and some new abilities, that may take her places she never imagined.

How do you
set down the mushroom
on level 11?
It was a nice game, the sounds and graphics set the mood right. Gameplay-wise, I wasn't too thrilled about doing precision-platforming with those decidedly unstable controls, but it was manageable, thus still fair. What I considered unfair was getting hit by an invisible wall of insta-death - apparently due to escaping "too fast" from a pursuer.
Still a positive experience overall, and I'm looking forward to the next part.

You don't need to. Instead, try to use its "special property" to help your buddy to a more delicious treat...
while holding the mushroom, call the pet with x, and bounce it leftward a few times, towards the fruit hanging above.
This is a vast improvement over the original. It annoyed me that a game as visually pleasing and simple as Nelly would make me rage quit.
The only bug I encountered with this was
three or four times when I picked up the mushroom it would vanish. Then my little friend would jump down onto me, eat a berry, then eat me...
The controls were a little jerky, but they where nowhere near as bad as the first. I even like the muted colours of this over the greyscale of the original. Oozing with atmosphere and creepy cuteness, I can't wait for the next chapter.

The smaller areas are nice, but the last part of the game in a bigger, more open area is really fantastic and really where the game came into its own for me. I'd be very happy if future episodes had more areas like that, possibly with optional things to collect too.
A very good and atmospheric game, only
I can't complete level 11! I always die when I reach the last box, just within sight of the railway sign, and I can't see any reason for this.
If this is the bit SiamJai refers to, where escaping "too fast" is the problem, then I don't know how much slower I can go; I've already tried going slowly enough that the critter catches me as soon as I die. Slower than that and, well...
has anyone found all the achievements yet? I keep wanting to get all of them but I'm missing 5.
I found a glitch in chapter 11.
When I pick up the mushroom it just disappears, and I can no longer move. My pet doesn't try to follow me after that, so I have no way of dying and trying again.
Okay, I still don't actually know how I got past level 11, but I did.
I either confused the game enough that when I died it put me at the next checkpoint, or I avoided something deadly by jumping on an invisible thing (in both views).
