A new developer diary video for Planet of Lana 2: Children of the Leaf shares a look at how the puzzles and design have taken "a leap forward" when compared to the first game. The team at Wishfully Studios and Thunderful share a nice little look at the "unique companion-based puzzling" in the sequel.
Planet of Lana 2's lead game designer Dan Faxe and senior game designer Christian Enfors talks about how they have built off of the first game's puzzles. They also share a look at some new abilities that allow Lana and her buddy Mui work together "to overcome the obstacles they counter on their adventure."
Planet of Lana 2: Children of the Leaf is out on March 5 for Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, and Steam.
