The briefing

About this game

Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil is a 3D side-scrolling platformer developed and published by Namco for PlayStation 2, released on July 25, 2001.

Klonoa, joined by Lolo and Popka, must stop a sinister force spreading gloom across Lunatea. Ringing the land's four bells can restore harmony, but the Sky Pirate Leorina is pursuing Klonoa for his magic ring.

Platforming and Exploration

Each level, or Vision, requires Klonoa to reach the end while pursuing additional objectives. Six Momett Dolls are hidden in every Vision, and Dream Stones are scattered throughout the stages. Green Dream Stones are worth one, while blue stones are worth five. The Dream Spirit can double the value of collected Dream Stones in certain puzzles.

Klonoa's Abilities

Klonoa can fire a wind bullet at enemies to puff them up and carry them. He can throw these enemies at other foes or jump with them for an extra boost. Holding the jump button lets him hover briefly, extending his jumps. Enemies can provide different effects, including launching Klonoa skyward with propellers or exploding like time bombs.

The game also introduces faster, more action-oriented hoverboard sections.
