After [[Chip's Challenge 1]] was released, its creator, [[Chuck Sommerville]], sought to make a true sequel, known as [[Chip's Challenge 2]] (CC2). The game was completed; however, due to copyright issues unveiled in 2002,{{fact}} it was believed that it could never be released. The official sequel was finally released in May 2015.

Given the copyright issues surrounding CC2, CCLP2 was assembled by the community to effectively serve as a replacement for CC2 using CC1's engine and mechanics.

At the original [[CC Zone]], a poll out of 13 voters yielded a 3.85/5 star rating, placing CCLP2 as the least favorite community level set to date. Its main improvement over CC1 was more diverse, less overly homogenous levels, with [[J.B. Lewis]] praising its [[Sokoban level]]s for being "a bit more interesting than [[On the Rocks]] or [[Pain]]."

Frequent complaints included the use of invalid tiles, with [[Mike Lask]] thereby downgrading the levelset to a 4/5, and occasional advanced tricks such as [[After the Rainstorm]] and its [[ram]] that J.B. branded as "just a bit mean for some players." Zero.prophet also observed that there are "many levels in CCLP2 that shouldn't have made the cut," which major CCLP3 staff and community leaders such as [[Tyler Sontag]] also agreed to. [[Rock Généreux]], while in obvious assent with this reasoning, noted that the set contained only "10 really bad levels max" and should be respected for its "extremely good" compositions such as [[Cloner's Maze]].
