Database of fanmade maps & other custom resources for Pekka Kana 2
We host custom fan-made episodes, that is, collection of levels (or maps) that you can play in the game. To download episodes that people have made and sent us, visit our Episode Database. You will find all sorts of interesting bits and pieces varying from one-level episodes to episodes with tens of levels to play! Everything from classic Janne Kivilahti style to modern space travel adventure.
Hello and welcome to the Pekka Kana 2 Library (PK2Lib for short) — a semi-official fan-driven project that provides a database of free episodes (collection of game maps) and other resources for Pekka Kana 2, an old-school freeware 2D platformer!
We provide links for downloading maps & resources made by the fandom of Pekka Kana 2 and publish reviews, tutorials and other additional stuff related to PK2.
All services provided are completely free, and all the episodes and resources published by us are released under a Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial Share-Alike License. Visit our Disclaimer and License page for more information.
If you have no clue what Pekka Kana 2 is all about, but are a friend of old-school platform games, we recommend you take a look at our page about Pekka Kana 2.
We have tons of other resources than episodes, as well, like custom sprites, level backgrounds and tilesets. You can find them in our Resource Database.
We also have stuff to make your life easier, such as the unofficial sprite editor. We also host all the other games produced by Piste Gamez, as well as all the soundtracks of those games. See our Downloads main page for anything you might be interested in downloading.
It has proven to be very tricky to get the original Pekka Kana 2 working on modern Windows systems, such as Windows 7 and the most recent one, Windows 10. Your game might have weird colors or black boxes around sprites — and in the worst case, the game might not run at all.
But fear not! We have multiple solutions for you! Our recommended solution is to use one of the new versions developed by our brilliant community developers (see the box on the right).
If you insist on using the very original version available on Piste Gamez website, then our recommendation is to utilize a program called DxWnd. For more information, see this forum thread on the official Piste Gamez forum.
As the source code of Pekka Kana 2 has been published and is open for everyone to play with, we, as a community, are developing new versions of the game, more suitable for modern operating systems. So far a succesfull project is Danilolc’s SDL port of the original source. Another project is Pekka Kana 2: Community Edition which aims at adding features desired by the community (such as checkpoints). For more information about these projects, see our page for development.
Join our community! If you enjoy playing Pekka Kana 2, you can come chat with us on Discord. You can also register on the official Piste Gamez forum (although forums in general are a bit dead nowadays).
On our Discord server, you will get the newest updates on our software development and new PK2 episodes made by our server mates.
More information can be found on our community page.
Are you an episode creator, a map maker? Would you like to have your very own episode that you created to be available for download on our Episode Database? No problem! Send you episodes to us, and we will add it to the database.
For more instructions for submitting a new episode, see our page for episode submitting.
We have loads of different kind of help articles and tutorials for understanding how the level editor, the game itself and different kind of files work. If you want to know how to construct a tileset or how the color palettes in PK2 images work, we recommend you check out our help page.
