The story of Jawbreaker II takes place in a world where eating candies is the key to advancing through increasingly difficult levels. The player must navigate a maze filled with dots, happy faces, and special lollipops that grant extra points. The ultimate goal is to eat all the candies on each level before losing lives to the unwanted attention of the happy faces.
The gameplay of Jawbreaker II is fast-paced and action-packed. The player must navigate the maze using moving openings, while avoiding the unhappy faces that will end their progress. Special lollipops offer temporary bonuses, but special dots on the corners can change the maze color, giving the player a brief window to eat the happy faces. With each level completed, the difficulty increases, requiring quick reflexes and strategic thinking to succeed.
