    Yiiiieeeeeeah bro this is awesome.

    The most frenetic and colorful and fun FPS I´ve seen up to this point.
    I could spend hours playing it, and listening to the incredible soundtrack and shooting at red squares and just having fun.

    Don't be fooled by the cute Katamari-esque style, this rapidly becomes a tough-as-nails twitch shooter that requires rote memorization, quick reflexes, multiple retries and excellent aim.

Most of the negative critic reviews are because of exactly this: it's too hard after the first world, especially if you take the style at face value and think it's a casual game. But if you like twitch shooters and/or failure meatgrinders like Super Meat Boy you will probably love this. That goes double if you are competitive or into speedrunning, as there are integrated leaderboards, even showing whether you got perfect accuracy on the level or not.… Expand

    Simple mechanics with enough to wrap your mind around - like discovering new ways to shave milliseconds off your best times and climbing leader-boards - to make you not want to stop playing.

    Fast, Fun and Amazing. 3 words I could use to describe it. I enjoyed every second I spent with this game I wish It never had to end. The amazing soundtrack and world design were creatively memorizing and the fast paced shooter gameplay blends right in! Worth the 6 dollars easily

    My first impression was: I was playing Katamari Damacy again. Strange scenery, strange (and funny) musics and strange characters.
    It's not the most original game ever, but it's not only one more shooter to kill zombies and get in a safe place. Now it's kill bad red guys to get in a safe purple cane in a totally strange world with dark blue innocent guys.

    Anyone who gives this game a bad review is just butthurt because they suck at twitch games. Getting three stars on every level is very addicting, especially trying to get all three stars at once. The plain visuals and sound design help you to focus on the actual game and for the low price point you shouldn't expect the game to have triple a sound design and graphics.

    I think as a genre, First Person Shooters have one of the most tedious core mechanics: moving a reticle then clicking a button. Somehow, this game has shown me that FPS can be fun. I really love this game. It's hard, so you have to replay levels over and over and over, but that's ok, because you will get better, then you will feel awesome.

You just need to be patient and fire at the right time, (although with the first person view, the jumping is still hard.) The soundtrack is amazing. I can't help but feel good when I play this.

    Unfortunately the PS4 port doesn't use gyro aiming, so play this on PC with a mouse, or gyro.    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

Although the learning curve may be difficult for some to adapt through perseverance only can one truly have fun and enjoy this interactive art piece. A person who will only play for a couple of hours then put the game down forever should not be quick to judge and those who believe it is repetitive have not been going for three stars. When I first picked up this game I had little knowledge on it. When I first saw the interesting art style I assumed it would lack in game play, but this game showed me that the beauty of this game stretches beyond the aesthetic.… Expand

    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.
