    An absolutely brilliant game. This game oozes of style and design, and anyone who plays this is absolutely going to hit the fabled "Flow" state. Each gameplay mechanic is thought through and serves a purpose, and the worlds keep introducing new and challenging concepts, At no point did i feel cheated after a death, because i could always see how it was my fault and how to evade itAn absolutely brilliant game.

    easily a 10/10 game

    And then you reach world 4.

    World 4 introduces fog and homing bullets that come out from nowhere. And pop, just like that, the game lost its charm. No longer could a skilled player with good reaction times beat levels on the first try, now you had to restart the level over and over, until you memorised when and where the bullets would come out. When you finally beat the level the game would mock you by telling you it had hid an enemy on the level, and force you to go back to looking for it.

    Those who want to use speedruns as a demonstration of their twitch skills will likely find Lovely Planet a 50-hour obsession. Nobody else really need apply.

    Lovely Planet is pure FPS madness: don't let the cartoon look deceive you, because this game requires skills and dedication.

    As difficult and repetitious as Lovely Planet gets however, rarely is it frustrating. It’s hard to hold a grudge against a game so whimsical, especially when it delivers even the most nefarious of its tricks with such stone-faced innocence.
