Arcy 2

Overview

Arcy 2 is a German developed puzzle game, reminiscent of Chip's Challenge. The game has 60 levels split into 3 parts, each with unique layouts. Arcy 2 has many different puzzle elements, including movable blocks and hidden passages, as well as different enemies that will push blocks in particular directions or roam freely throughout the level.

The objective of Arcy 2 is to go through the game's puzzles and collect keys to open a door to end the level. The game has a score component, with score being gained through finishing levels or by collecting blue orbs that appear throughout levels and when enemies are defeated. Special block types will fall in particular directions that, with timing, can crush enemies and provide the player with both more blue orbs and the ability to progress further in the level.

Arcy 2 is split into 3 volumes of puzzles, with the first being provided for free. The game provides a phone number to a BBS to inquire about obtaining Volumes 2 and 3, for a price. The puzzles in the first volume are mainly a showcase of the different puzzle elements the game has to offer, typically involving the player to perform one action that will then cause the rest of the puzzle to solve itself.
