Nicky II PSP is a PSP adaptation of classic Amiga/DOS platformer by Microids. The game was published in 1993 and was also ported to the Atari ST and PC EGA platforms.
The PSP port is based on a cross-platform game engine recreation by Gregory Montoir.

User guide
The sequel to Nicky Boom; this time Nicky must find out who has been removing ladders and blocking off caves in his homeland.
The gameplay is essentially platform, with multi-directional maze-like levels. Beating the obstructions requires occasional brainwork - hidden ladders are easy enough to uncover, and there are lots of hidden sections to look for.
The levels are colourful, and the game has a cute look making it appear suited to younger players. Mirrors are placed around the levels, which transport you to a random place.
Although, save-game/level codes are currently not implemented, there are "secret" button combos, which enable a player to jump to next level and get bombs as well as other goodies.
