Twelve years after the initial release of the “R’n’D jue” special edition (and nine years after the last update), Jürgen Bonhagen proudly presents “R’n’D jue II”, which has been completely rebuild and redesigned, with lots of stunning new features!

The new HD screen resolution, together with completely redesigned graphics (including double-sized game graphics), is probably the most striking new feature.
