Pekka Kana 2 (Pekka the Rooster 2) is a jump 'n run game made in the spirit of old classic platformers such as Super Mario, Sonic the Hedgehog, Jazz Jackrabbit, Super Frog and so on. The simple goal in each level is to find the exit sign, which is usually not that simple as it sounds because of enemies, traps, and quirky puzzles. Pekka Kana 2 was released in year 2003 at Assembly '03 Game Development Competition, and placed 2nd. Since then the game has been featured in numerous different sites and cover discs. Players have also made their own levels with the PK2 Level Editor, which was released later in 2003. Check the link section at the bottom of the page for more information. Pekka Kana 2 has also been translated to several languages, and you can download the language files and manuals from the bottom of this page. The installer includes episodes Rooster Island 1 and Rooster Island 2, and a huge amount of translations. So install the game first, and download a translation if it doesn't come with the game. Unfortunately because the game is quite old and uses old version of DirectX (7), many experience problems when trying to run the game on modern OSs like Windows Vista and graphics cards that don't support all of Direct 7's old 2D features. Recommended setup for PK2 is Windows 98 and an old graphics card.
