The nature of the game development life cycle normally means you can expect sequels to appear approximately a year after their predecessors.

Not in HotGen's world.

This UK-publisher has decided to not only rip the iPhone games rulebook up, but to also feed it through the office shredder, and dump it into the recycling skip.

So, despite HotGen's action-puzzler-platformer To-Fu: The Trials of Chi only stretching and pinging itself onto the App Store in May, its follow-up is due this Thursday.

To-Fu 2 will feature the same challenging gameplay and elastic protagonist as its forerunner, but will introduce a new game mode and include over 100 obstacle-laden levels.

We awarded its forebear 4 stars out of 5 on review, so To-Fu 2 has deliciously large boots to fill.

And here's the official trailer right on cue.
