A-review-of-Return-Man-2-Mud-BowlReady! Set! Hut! We now have a spin off to Return Man! Coming back as Return Man 2 – Mud Bowl. This time it’s even muddier than ever. Play a football star, catch the football and return it to the end-zone for a winning touchdown! Well, what can we say? Have fun and do not get too dirty!

Gameplay.

Imagine this, Return Man 2 – Mud Bowl is on a tie of 21-21 and has then been thrown to overtime. Your opposing team is just about to kick that ball. Your task is to catch the ball within that yellow circle and then run it downfield to the end-zone without receiving a tackle. But you have to watch out for the huge mud puddles. These will slow your pace! Within the play, you will find items that look like lightning bolts or stars. Try collecting these! These lightning bolts will boost your speed briefly while stars will give additional points to the final scores! Obtain high scores to get your name onto the Leaderboards! On those slippery snowfields, when you must try to stop running, ensure you do account for your slipping. Try timing your stopping-times appropriately and hence still stop just within those yellow circle and not too far ahead of the circle or too far. Keep your eyes on the number of times you fail particular levels. Each time you receive a tackle, you will lose possession. If you lose four possessions, you’ll ultimately lose that game and then have to begin the level all over. Do not worry though, the stage progress is saved – so it isn’t a complete loss.

Controls.

Player controls in Return Man 2 – Mud Bowl are quite unusual when compared to other flash games. Why so?

Additionally, you could also press your spacebar if you wish to continue your game, and then press the M key when muting the sound effect. Once you complete a certain level in completing future levels and stages.

A – Spin.

S – Speed Burst.

D – Front Flip.

Stages and Levels.

There are stages in Return Man 2 – Mud Bowl and every stage has different number of levels that you have to complete to unlock the next stages.

You might find your football heroes sliding and slipping across the field like ice skaters in certain stages, but rushing onto the end-zone while dodging the mud puddles and opposing the team players in others.
