LOVE
A downloadable game for Windows, Linux, and Android
LOVE is a minimalistic platforming game with a retro aesthetic and a focus on a challenging but not unfair difficulty. It has an innovative respawn system, 16 levels, a 12 track soundtrack, online leaderboards, and a unique custom level creation feature*.
Users are able to create images (both static and animated) that can be imported as level geometry, hazards, or interactive elements. Creators can craft full 10-level campaigns with customizeable screens and intros, and share them with one another*.
The challenging levels are balanced with the inclusion of a simple yet unique respawn system wherein the player can leave a checkpoint at any location at any point, as long as they are on solid ground.
Beyond the visual aesthetic, the challenging level design, and the abundance of features, there is the fantastic soundtrack composed by James Bennett, which bring the seemingly simple 3-color atmospheres to life.
*LOVE Custom is only available on Windows
LOVE is now available on Steam. If you buy the game on itch.io, you will also receive a Steam Key!
The soundtrack is available to stream for free on Spotify.
