    Brilliant and captivating, Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime really shines when played with a human partner.

    This is one of the best indie games we've played this years. Unless you don't like coop experiences, Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is a game you should play.

    Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is a fun and enjoyable take on the shooter genre, focusing on exploration of each area instead of vertical or horizontal scrolling.

    Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is like a relationship: is fun only with an actual mate. [Feb 2016]

    A beautiful game that shines in co-op but doesn’t have much to offer to a lone player. [13/2015, p.52]

    With charm, style, and large worlds to explore, Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime offers both a great local co-op and single player shoot em up experience.

    The hope and expectation generated by a successful launch dissipates all too quickly, leaving these lovers floating aimlessly among the stars, a spaceship without a rudder. [Nov 2015, p.123]

He confirmed, and fortunately he made this game much less comedic dystopian and much more comedic fun.

    This is a great game to play with a significant other who might not be into videogames, up there with Portal. The art and sound is approachable and cute, you can tell the non-gamer that there really are only two buttons, and it's immediate laughs when someone tries to pilot the ship and runs into an wall: "It came out of nowhere!"

    I've only dived a few hours into the game and the only issue I can see is a short shelf life, like with Nidhogg or Towerfall Ascension. But I may be pleasantly surprised the more I play, there appear to be many unlocks available. Otherwise, if you want a breath of fresh air for couch co-op this is the game for you. It's a much more memorable experience than a ticket to a movie anyways.    … Expand
