About Charlie II
Charlie II is an old school 2D side-scrolling platformer where you run through levels collecting coins and diamonds, jumping on enemies, and diving into hidden water areas while hunting for secret letters and exits. With adjustable difficulty levels, hidden stages, and the ability to replay levels for 100% completion, it offers classic platforming with secrets to discover on modern systems.
This is an updated version of the original game from 2001 to make it work on modern computers.
In this game, you must collect enough coins and diamonds before you may exit a level. Depending on the chosen difficulty, the required percentage is 45%, 60% or 75% (easy, normal, hard). Once you have collected the required amount, you will see the message "Find the exit!".
There are also 7 letters (C, H, A, R, L, I, E) that you can collect in each level. Collecting them is not required for 100%, but they may help you find areas you haven't explored yet, since the letters are generally layed out from left to right.

At first, you can only play through the entire game without going back to a previous level. Some levels (indicated with a '?') are hidden, to play them, you must find the secret exit in the previous level. After you have completed the game, you will be able to select any level to play so you can find all the hidden items and secret areas to increase your score for each level until you get 100% everywhere.
The game can run using either OpenGL or DirectX (Options, Video, Graphics). If the game doesn't run smoothly, try adjusting this. Note that the Steam overlay may not work for DirectX, if you need that, choose OpenGL.
The default keys are:
\ and \: walk
\: walk faster
\: jump
\: in some places Charlie can dive into the water
\: pause game
\: swich between full screen and windowed mode

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Charlie II is an old-school platformer from 2001 that players praise for its nostalgic charm, polished presentation, and hidden secrets, appealing especially to fans of classic Mario-style games. However, the game shows its age with dated level design, repetitive boss encounters, and some input troubles that modern platformers have since improved upon. Players interested in retro gaming and willing to appreciate its historical context will find it worthwhile, though others may find it feels outdated by today's standards.
[b] Awesome oldschool game it is a bit more short than first game Charlie the Duck but too more hard the boss enemy is all same, i just think werid there are not different bosses after you go to different levels for exemple i do recommend totally for nostalgia and if you are interested in play something more different. 8/10 P.S: Just respect my review, if you dont like why need give jester reward? only shows that you're childish idiot and has no arguments.11 found this helpful
A classic, highly recommended! When Charlie 3D?1 found this helpful
The Thumbs Up here comes with a caveat: Charlie II is literally a game from 2001, updated to run on modern systems. There is nothing wrong with that. On the contrary, C2 is way more polished than many indie titles. It features nice graphics, good movement, tons of secrets etc etc. On the other side, as a product of its time, the game feels dated and contains everything you'd expect (and might not want to see nowadays): [strike]annoying[/strike] questionable level design, some input troubles, time-wasting sections, mandatory collectibles. There is absolutely no reason to play it today, except maybe to remind oneself that platforming has (thankfully) come a very long way in the last 20+ years.1 found this helpful
I used to play this game on a floppy disc, that's how old it is, and yet I find it just as fun now as I did back then. This is a platform game where you play as Charlie the Duck, collecting coins and merking coconuts, birds, and other silly enemies. If you like old school Mario, this would be a game for you to try. There is more than what meets the eye with secret exits and hidden spots, making for a fun and challenging game. It feels like being transported to the early 00's. Please note that because the game is so old, you will have to change a line of coding to be able top open it - you'll find the guide here on Steam and it's not hard to do.1 found this helpful
