Since I was told that many of you guys are mostly familiar with Prince of Persia 1 and don't know many of the funny tricks and stuff you can perform in PoP2 --and a harder mod than the Hardcore one is comming soon which is the Parkour one (perhaps this sunday)-- I decided to create an easy 'n' quick mod for everyone to play.
==================================================================================
The mod contains these changes:
- Fast-paced PoP2 Mini-experience.
- Small but complex level layouts for caverns, ruins and temple levels.
- Most level exits are found close to where you start, leaving you to explore each level at will.
- Combat is still challenging in a few areas, but it's more of an option than real task.
- The princess... can rest easy knowing you're just chilling at the gym.
This mod will teach you the following tricks:
- Jumping: yes yes, we all know how to jump, but you will learn specially when to do a normal jump, running jump under different circumstances.
- Wall-climbing/hopping: jumping onto a loose floor pannel and climbing it up before you fall. Three ways: running through, run 'n' jump to, jump to.
- Spike dropping: jumping down to the tile next to some spikes is suicidal right? Right?? Find out

- Platform dropping: dropping from different platforms (both loose and steady) will be very common in the upcomming Parkour mod. Master it.
- Duck-climbing: climbing the wall-saws from the right side and then ducking to avoid getting killed. Can also be used for climbing up halfway-opened gates.
- Combat dancing: master the skills of the warrior within the prince. There are moments you'll have to dodge, switch places often.
- Stealth: either by crounching or walking, there are momments you don't wanna make a noise.
- Sword Bungee jump: a stealthy way to drop down and skip one floor (just don't forget to grab or you'll die).
- Flame sword dueling: can this be? Can it be killed without cheating? Find out
![Smiling :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)
- Leap of Faith: calculate the distance and jump down the chasm
![Smiling :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)
- Shadow parkour: the laws of physics apply differently in shadow form, master it

- Crusher-jumping: learn to save yourself with a crusher's help (for real)
- Cartoon running: just like in Looney Tunes, you can force an enemy to run past you... to their deaths.
==================================================================================
LEVELS DESCRIPTION
(01) Palace Rooftops: Even though, you'll be facing seasoned guards again, just toy with them around and run to the exit (they die in 1 hit).
(02) Beach: Just, stay off the beach, unless you wanna meet the other survivor from the shipwreck.
(03) Caves 01 There are 2 life potions. Exit can be found right away
(04) Caves 02 There are 2 life potions. Exit can be found right away
(05) Caves 03 There is 1 life potion. Watch your step when you reach the carpet. And yes.. no skeleton bridge, but no worries, the upcomming Parkour mod will compensate you for both this and the Hardcore mod ;D
(06) Ruins 01 There are 3 life potions. The head in this dungeon is somewhat harmless. Exit can be found right away.
(07) Ruins 02 There is 1 life potion. Exit can be found right away.
(08) Ruins 03 There is 1 life potion. Ready for your first leap of Faith?
(09) Ruins 04 There are 2 life potions (Yes the minimap shows 3, but I removed one). Exit can be found right away.
(10) Temple 01 There are 2 life potions. You're trapped by the way, must clear this puzzle to escape.
(11) Temple 02 There are 3 life potions. You're trapped again... the Prince and the Shadow must work together to escape.
(12) Temple 03 There are 4 life potions. Exit is right away, but if you want those potions you'll have to do some serious wall climbing & hopping.
(13) Temple 04 There are 3 life potions. Exit is right away, but you'll have to fight your way through relentless hordes of enemies.
(14) Jaffar 01 Minor changes in here, but the end comes as always

INSTALATION
Just make a copy of your PoP2 folder, you could rename it to 'TRICKS', and replace PRINCE.DAT with the file available in this topic.

KNOWN BUGS
- At final level, if you engage the flame sword before heading down to the spider (specially via fall) the game will exit... I dunno why.
