Pint-size puzzler Jacob Jones, and his Sasquatch buddy Biggie, will return to the App Store this evening with the second instalment of their riddle filled adventure.

Jacob Jones and the Bigfoot Mystery: Episode 2 sees the pair set off towards Crackskull Mountain. Along the way they'll have to solve puzzles, find items, and help an old man reunite with his dead wife. Bleak, but sweet.

As before, it's a mix of gorgeous 3D exploration (with characters that look like shiny vinyl dolls and landscapes sculpted from corrugated cardboard) and more traditional riddles about moving blocks and rearranging parrots.

It is, we've found, a tad on the short side. There are only 14 puzzles to solve (about half the number found in Jacob Jones 1), a few locations to visit, and the game offers roughly an hour or two's worth of gameplay.

We'll go into more detail tomorrow, when we publish our full review. Until then, check out the video above. Jacob Jones 2 will be a separate app, and costs 69p / 99c. Which is about right.
