Barkley 2: 2 Open Source Clones Compared
Barkley2_Original is the official demo build of Barkley 2 as distributed to the game's Kickstarter backers — a raw, unpolished snapshot of the GameMaker Studio project rather than a finished release, and development on it has stopped. Barkley2_Godot is a separate, actively worked-on attempt to port that same source code to the Godot engine; the author describes the port itself as currently buggy, unstable, and janky, and notes that some original controls (the Zauber key bindings) don't work in it.
