Ape Escape 2 is the sequel to Ape Escape. In this platform game it's your goal to catch all the apes jumping, walking and flying around the diverse levels the game has to offer. A large arsenal of gadgets can be used to make it all a little easier, with the catching net being the most important weapons of them all. Other gadgets include a RC Car, to drive over monkey's and collect objects, an Ape Radar, to detect the nearest monkey, a baseball bat, to hit monkeys unconscious, and a magnet, to move certain objects in the maps. Your quest is to catch all monkeys in the levels and to stop the evil Specter from taking over the world. All monkeys in the levels are somewhat unique with their own character abilities and their unique name. Some monkeys just sit on their place, while others attack you with projectiles or run away quickly.

What is Ape Escape 2 about?

Years after the meddling monkey Specter was first stopped, a young boy named Hikaru is left watching over the Professor's laboratory alongside his cousin and the Professor's granddaughter. A simple errand goes wrong when a batch of mind-controlling Monkey Helmets is accidentally scattered, and Specter seizes one to once again raise an army of monkeys bent on ruling the world. Armed with an arsenal of quirky gadgets and joined by a friendly baby monkey named Pipotchi, Hikaru sets off across a variety of worlds to recapture the escaped monkeys and foil Specter's plan.

Should I stream Ape Escape 2 on Twitch?

0/100 · Closed off· 6 viewers per streamer on paper

Probably not. The only English stream here holds all 6 English viewers — once you take it out there is nothing left to reach.

The only English stream here holds all 6 English viewers. There is nothing left over for a second.

Almost nobody here is available to you — either a couple of streams hold the room, or nobody is watching in English, or the category is empty, or you would be buried.

This reads the room as it is right now — how much of the English-speaking audience is reachable and where you would land — not how many followers you would gain. That depends on you.

Where to buy

All plain links straight to the official stores. Some will become affiliate links later, and they’ll be marked with a ♥ when they are — you’ll always be able to tell, and the unmarked ones will always be there.

Is Ape Escape 2 too saturated on Twitch?

Not crowded, but not open either. Only 1 person is streaming Ape Escape 2, and the one English stream holds all 6 English viewers — so the room is quiet because that audience is already committed, not because it is waiting for you.
