Our take on LOVE
Instead of relying on fixed checkpoints, this platformer lets players place a respawn point on solid ground at any moment. That changes failure recovery from a preset level structure into a choice made during each attempt, while speedrun and scoring modes add competition to the challenge.
What is LOVE?
LOVE is a retro-styled platformer built around difficult levels and a custom checkpoint mechanic.
While standing on solid ground, players can place a respawn point at any location. The game includes 16 main levels, a 7-level Remix Mode, an additional 10-level Remix Campaign with source files on Windows, and modes for easier play, standard play, and speedrunning. Online leaderboards, 19 achievements, and several scoring factors support competitive play. A soundtrack containing 12 tracks accompanies the game's limited-color visual style. The level editor lets players create stages, while XInput gamepad support provides an alternative control method.
