Economical 2

Economical 2 is a 2D puzzle platformer game with 80 levels and it is the sequel to Economical. The player can move and jump around the level and collect coins like any platformer. The goal is to reach the treasure chest by spending as few coins as possible.

The player can build dirt blocks to use as extra platforms or scaffolding, but each block costs 30 coins. Jump on a dirt block and it will crack, jump off and it will break and disappear. Later in the game the player can also build iron blocks which will not break so they can be reused as platforms, but they are more expensive and cost 50 coins. Collect the yellow coins to increase your money with 50 coins.

Clear the level by collecting all the coins while spending as few coins as possible on the blocks. When you clear a level and your coins amount is below a certain par amount the game just displays " having ??? coins". Each level has two predetermined par coin amounts for good (silver) or perfect (gold) clear, but these amounts are only displayed when you reach them.

Other gameplay elements include spikes, keys and locks and enemies. Collect the keys to remove all the locks. Later levels have red walking enemies or blue flying birds. The enemies can be trapped using the blocks or tricked into dropping off the level by clever use of the blocks and locks. The player must avoid falling off the level or touching the spikes and enemies, or else the player dies and the level resets.
