Fun School 2: For the Under-6s
DOSEducational
How it plays
The game uses a top-down perspective. The player moves a ball through self-contained maze screens, avoids hazards, activates mechanisms, and searches for matching Oxyd stones. Opening the correct pair is generally the central objective of a screen.
Rooms introduce new layouts and obstacles as the game progresses. Momentum and positioning are important, so movement must be planned around walls, traps, switches, and other interactive elements. There is no character party or conventional inventory system; advancement comes from completing the current puzzle.
Plan your run
Study the entire room before committing to a route. Identify matching Oxyd stones, movable objects, hazards, and switches, then plan a path that leaves enough space for controlled movement.
Use short, deliberate inputs near obstacles and test unfamiliar mechanisms cautiously. If a room is lost, reproduce the successful portions of the route and change only the step that caused the failure.
Before you begin
Survey a room before moving quickly.
Treat momentum as part of every puzzle solution.
Remember the positions of switches and matching Oxyd stones.
Oxyd 2 is a DOS puzzle-action game developed and published by Dongleware. It presents a succession of maze-like screens in which the player guides a ball through hazards, mechanisms, and traps while trying to open paired Oxyd stones. The game relies on movement accuracy, observation, and experimentation rather than combat or conventional score chasing. Its abstract presentation and physics-driven challenges give it a distinct identity among early 1990s computer puzzles. Oxyd 2 became associated with the cult following of the Oxyd series, particularly among European home-computer and DOS players. Progress depends on solving increasingly demanding rooms, with mistakes often requiring careful repetition rather than reflexes alone.
