It was only back in June of this year when Devolver Digital released To-Fu: The Trials of Chi onto Google Play. The rather unique puzzle platformer has since done quite well for itself, most likely to the unique style of gameplay that it comes with. Well Devolver Digital has now released a second part in the series, appropriately named To-Fu 2, bringing with it more elastic To-Fu flinging goodness with it.
