Addicting

This game kept me entertained for a while.
On the surface not much is going on but, overall, I had a good time trying different approaches with different combinations of weapons/armor.
Took me a while to beat John the Butcher but, when I did, I got through the entire demo, beating that shuriken-flinging, transporting ninja (close match but I got inside at the end and was able to chop him down with an axe).
A lot of you seemed pissed off at the $20 price tag.
I might agree that the price is a little high (maybe $10 would be friendlier) but you have to remember, these people had already provided you with S&S 1 for free and gave you 3 levels of this sequel for nothing.
If you want to put the $20 towards a "real game" then go ahead and do it, nobody's forcing you to buy this thing. If it's not worth the $20 then maybe it's not worth getting upset about?
Someone has spent time on this thing for us to enjoy and deserves something for their effort.
Do you work for free? Do you just give your product (whatever that might be) away?

Yeah...RIGHT!

I'm a huge fan of SaS 1 and I was psyched to see there was a sequel but for one I was disappointed when it wasn't a sequel as it was just the first one with a few new things. I also noticed it was $20 and that made me laugh.

I can get a real game for $20. I can go buy WoW and play that for an entire month for 20 bucks as opposed to paying $20 for this and playing it for maybe 3 days...a week tops. What were you thinking? Honestly. If i were filthy, filthy rich I still would not buy this game for $20, I wouldn't buy it for $3. I would not buy any flash game for any amount of money.

It was very selfish and greedy of you to do this because the game is not only so incredibly small but it's very flawed. The game is based on 90% luck and 10% on your stats. Maybe if you could compete against other players, had a much bigger world, much wider variety of weapons and armor and basically turned it into a never ending MMO then I and most people MIGHT consider buying it and definately not for $20. it's blatantly obvious that you just sugar coated the first one and called it a sequel, therefor hardly making an effort and just doing it to rip people off.

I think I would rather play Runescape for 4 months than buy this game. You really have to think about this stuff. It's an insult, it's a joke and I'm ashamed of anyone supporting you by purchasing this game. You seriously don't deserve any profit.

I apologize for such a negative review and a negative score but I don't stand alone here, It's a rip-off and very effortless attempt at a sequel and what bothers people the most is that it's obvious you're trying to rip them off, it's insulting. Hopefully some day you will make it free to play. Also stop advertising your site, that looks even worse.

I apologise for trying to make a living. I don't have the 100 plus developers that make WoW or even the dozens that make Runescape. $20 is what companies like Pogo charge for downloadable casual games like Bejewelled and so on.

Lots of work went into the sequel. You're obviously never going to buy it and by writing such a hate-laced post, you clearly don't want others to either. Whatever. Other people like it. I'm not trying to 'rip off' people.. there's a free demo which takes a while to play - you can have fun with that and it costs you nothing.

Newgrounds is the ultimate site for the "I want everything free" generation so your comments don't surprise me. For those who did buy the game, thanks for your support and I hope you enjoyed it.

As for you, get your head into the real world .

Me likey!

For whoever said John the Butcher is impossible, you're wrong. I got through the first two tournaments, and to the boss of the third one. I got 50, 894 points. It's really quite good, but I think that the full version's price could be reduced a little.

All of your games are superb!

I'm glad to see a sequel to S&S. I really liked that you added a storyline and also improved the graphics. Now, it's more enjoyable than ever.

If you're new to the series, I suggest checking out the first one--just so you can get acquainted with the gameplay.
