 You can see the thought that went into ''Yurik 2'', in that despite the extreme senory content the design does seem to mostly take the player into account. Jumps can be tricky, but once you master the mechanics they're only rarely unreasonable. There are tricks and traps, but once you know what's coming they are easily avoided. There are only a few moments that present mandatory hits or poorly placed monsters, which stop the game's momentum while the player just tries to find a way past.
 There is one particular spike placement, in level two, that may make progress impossible. It's a subtle thing; it looks like you should just barely be able to jump past -- but the ceiling is solid where it doesn't look like it should be, and you hit your head, and the engine leaves no room for you do do anything but land on the spikes, which you have no option to push through.
 Curiously, ''Yurik 2'' appears to have been planned as a much more elaborate game than what is now available. The game contains several unused elements that suggest some dramatic additions to the game's design -- a speeder bike sprite and a backdrop seemingly digitized from a custom-made model city. Put them together and it looks like the game was to have a racing twitch level along the lines of ''[[Twister, argh!]]''.

+}}At some point after testing the ground with ''[[Stickman!!! Die]]'' (aka ''Yurik''), Yurik Nestoly banged together a much larger, more elaborate, and more deliberate clubhouse. ''Yurik 2'' maintains most of the thematic and mechanical language of its predecessor -- the grim grassy fields tainted with the distant paraphernalia of death; the choice of gratutiously violent weapons, reminiscent of ''[[Flying Guts]]'' or ''[[Caves]]''. The main difference here is in the ambition with which he employs those elements, and thereby with the world architecture that becomes the player's main guide and target of effort.
-The game stars its designer, [[Yurik Nestoly]]. Apparently a sequel to his earlier ''[[Stickman!!! Die]]'', aka ''Yurik''.

-Much more elaborate and deliberate than the previous game. Two levels; reasonably well-designed, if full of tricks and traps and the occasional mandatory hit or poorly placed monster. A part in the second level is impassible. Some unused resources, including a bike sprite and a backdrop seemingly digitized from a custom-made model city. The ambition seems to have been greater than what was completed.
