**Evilsmurfs 2**, sometimes styled *Evilsmurfs2*, is the second title in the Evilsmurfs series, and the sequel to the original Evilsmurfs. It is the first Evilsmurfs title by Definitive Doggo, who took control of the series after PinkMedic.

The game continues Gurglemeel's journey from the first title, picking up six months after. He is alerted to the resurgence of the Evilsmurfs, who he had seemingly defeated.

Like the original, a version exclusive to GameJolt was made, titled **Evilsmurfs2 - Gamejolt Edition**. This fixes several issues from the "classic" edition, such as an erroneous sprite origin point on Gurglemeel's running sprite and removal of the default GameMaker loading popup. The original version is preserved on the page.

A prequel to the game, titled Evilsmurfs2: Prologue was created between the releases of Evilsmurfs 4: Episode 1 and Evilsmurfs 4: Episode 2 following Evilsmurfs 2's release onto GameJolt. The title would be uploaded onto the site six years later.

## Plot

### Preceding Events

*Main article: Evilsmurfs 2: Prologue*

One month prior to the incident, Poopah Evilsmurf, who had since been revived by his army, was happily tending to his fellow evilsmurfs when a member of Tha Men stumbled upon them. Eventually Poopah found him, killing him. Oiram, as well as a corrupted vision of his brother appeared to Poopah, warning him that Gurglemeel was on his way.

### Poopah's Return

Gurglemeel soon found out about the incident involving the missing Tha Men agent, who had since been presumed dead, and knew that the Evilsmurfs must be involved. Arriving there, he found Poopah alive and well despite his apparent death at Gurglemeel's own hands. Poopah taunted him as he proceeded to eliminate his army once again.

On the way, he discovered Poopah's Anti-Smurf project, flicking a lever and dispersing it into the surrounding area.

Gurglemeel then made his way to Poopah's location. Poopah did not put up any fight, instead trying to verbally harass him, and was once again killed by Gurglemeel. Oiram and another unacknowledged apparition greeted Gurglemeel, leading to Oiram calling him a "monster."

### Aftermath

Gurglemeel settled down after the conflict, and continued his life after finding the Evilsmurfs did not return. Five years after the battle, he met a woman, dating her for five more years before marrying her. Five more years later, they had a child, followed by another two years later. Gurglemeel focused on his family from then on, putting his past behind him.

Unbeknownst to him, Poopah had been revived once more, and spent the time rebuilding his army.

## Development

Evilsmurfs 2 began development shortly after the release of the original Evilsmurfs, after Definitive Doggo asked his brother PinkMedic if he could continue the series.

The game was one of the last completed projects before Definitive Doggo's laptop suffered a hard drive crash, causing a loss of every file. Despite this, he was able to decompile the game in order to fix several issues he had with it, leading to the development of the GameJolt edition. The decompilation also lead to the inspiration to create Evilsmurfs 2: Prologue.

The game's icon had to be completely remade for the release of GameJolt edition and the prologue, as the decompilation process had resized it and made it blurry. Luckily, as the original was pixel art, it was able to be identically replicated.

Ironically, the GameJolt edition of Evilsmurfs 2 was completed on the same day as the release of Evilsmurfs: GameJolt edition.

## Trivia

* This title begins the misinterpretation and mispelling of Destrau The Melt as "Destral Del Melt." The erroneous phrase is seen everywhere throughout the game, from ground tiles to the background.
* The background featured a drawing of Tha Men, marking their first appearance. The characters would not make a physical appearance until Evilsmurfs 2: Prologue.
	+ The background art was not originally designed for Evilsmurfs 2, and was instead an illustration of an evil version of Dr. Isaac Kleiner from Half-Life 2, based on one of Definitive Doggo's custom Garry's Mod addons at the time.
	+ Two examples of dark text are hidden in the background, reading "Destral del melt." and "It's us"
	+ The Eye of Providence can also be seen in the left lens of the sunglasses, as an obvious reference to The Illuminati. The image of an all-seeing eye cam also fit due to Tha Men's role in the story as a policing organization throughout the series.
* Poopah's original death sound was not present in the game due to a lack of access. Instead, it was replaced with "Kajulch," which had no meaning to it.
* The skinnier, green version of Oiram was meant to be "Igiul," who would have been Oiram's brother. However, it was considered a contradiction of the story and so Igiul was not referenced after that point. This was later solidified in Sackboygame3andahalf.exe, showing Oiram's brother Luigi alive and well. Igiul continues to be an unexplained quirk, perhaps as an apparition created by Oiram to keep him company or another unseen entity observing these events.
