hocus 2 is the sequel to the critically acclaimed minimalist puzzle game. It features 100+ hand-crafted levels based on optical illusions and impossible shapes. Players must guide a cube through 3D structures, utilizing new mechanics like rotating parts and multi-path logic. With a relaxing soundtrack and no timers, it offers a pure, meditative puzzle-solving experience.

Our Expert Score
Hocus 2 is a masterclass in minimalist puzzle design, taking the impossible geometry of M.C. Escher and turning it into a tactile, zen-like experience. The sequel improves on the original by introducing new mechanics like rotating sections and more complex color-based puzzles, all while maintaining the serene, pressure-free atmosphere that fans loved.
The game challenges your spatial reasoning in a way that feels like a mental massage rather than a chore. Sliding the red cube through these 'impossible' 3D structures is incredibly satisfying, especially when you finally wrap your head around a perspective shift that seemed impossible just moments ago. It is a perfect 'coffee break' game—easy to pick up, visually stunning, and deeply clever.

Tips & Walkthrough
When stuck, look for the dot indicators. These show which directions are valid, often revealing paths that appear disconnected from a standard perspective.
Gameplays
Swipe to move the cube along the lines. Focus on collecting all target points to trigger the level exit, paying attention to how shapes overlap.

Love these!
Sat Mar 20 2021 KGA246I enjoyed Hocus and was so excited to see Hocus 2! I would give it 5 stars if more levels were available! I finished all of these in just a few days, and now I want more, please. And I don’t like the “endless” puzzles on Hocus. For some reason they are all much too simple. Please keep adding levels for both Hocus, and Hocus 2!
Nice Relaxing Game 2
Thu Jun 30 2022 Allegra PetersonI like that hocus 2 added some additional features to move the little cube around and make the puzzles a little more thought-provoking. Just like the original hocus, the game gets more challenging over time but never in a frustrating way. I still love the basic design and the relaxing music. I love to play when I’m stressed or just want to do something calming. Once again, my only disappointment was that I eventually ran out of puzzles. Would love to see hocus 3 in the future!
Very nice, but finished?
Wed Nov 25 2020 Bass-geekEven better than Hocus, but hopefully an update will provide more levels, and the "infinite" mode for creating more levels, like the original Hocus! Other than chess, Hocus is the only game I play. After reading, writing and programming/coding, I just want something relaxing.
Fun but thin
Tue Jan 14 2025 wavetracedGood brain exercises. Was disappointed that there was no ending reward or even acknowledgment for finishing the last level. Definitely room for more challenging levels.
Terrific extension of Hocus
Thu Dec 15 2022 hough_transformHocus2 is more entertaining than Hocus, which is saying a lot. My only reason for not giving it 5 stars was the paltry number of puzzles included (fewer than 90).
Needs more levels!
Wed Jan 19 2022 ToxicCheeseFun. Finished it in a few sittings. Please add more levels!!
Great game
Wed Jan 13 2021 MlisagorBetter than the first one. Pick it up!
Please update the original
Mon Nov 07 2022 mset68Please update the first version. It’s superior to this version but it needs to be updated to work with iOS 16.1. Thanks
