How it feels

A punishing yet fair precision platformer that demands careful timing and patience, where the ability to place custom checkpoints provides a small but crucial reprieve from constant repetition.

What players say

Players describe LOVE as a short, minimalist platformer with tight controls and a retro pixel art style that only takes about 30 minutes to finish. Its chill music and simple mechanics make it a relaxing choice, though some find the physics slightly annoying at first and one level particularly rage-inducing.
