And the way the cows' udders swing as they run is hilarious.
That one was awesome to read, both because it sounds like a really good improvement. But also because it sounds very close to what I wrote on TellTale's forums after playing the first one.

IMO this should've been a simpler action game (where you only control the characters jumping, not his position on the screen) with a more cinematic camera. Better yet, it could've incorporated some puzzles, like point-n-clickin' the right way through the valley while running. Couple this with some good cinematography and animation, and you'd have something loads better, I think.
It really sounds like they've listened to everything the fans have been saying, and improved on that. I'm wondering if they're going to have proper music mixing this time 'round. The music had the problem of never actually fitting in with the mood the game was trying to set up.
