Lovely Planet
Lovely Planet is a first-person shooter platform video game developed by Indian indie developer Quicktequila and published by tinyBuild. It was released for Microsoft Windows, OS X and Linux in July 2014, for Xbox One in January 2016, and the PlayStation 4 and Wii U in April 2016.
The game received mixed reviews from critics, with praise given to its visuals and soundtrack, but criticism for its presentation and level of difficulty.
The game is a speedrunning focused first-person shooter where the player must complete the level as fast as possible to progress. There is no plot, but rather "micro-levels" contained within larger areas. Being hit by a bullet, falling, or touching enemies causes the player to die instantly, and the player must memorize the levels to win.
The player's gun does not have an aiming reticle, and bullets move slowly, forcing the player to lead their shots. Players can earn up to 3 stars depending on how fast they beat a level, with the third star requiring perfect accuracy.
Certain level hazards also force the player forward, for example, apples that must be shot out of the sky or they will kill the player when they reach the ground.
The game's art style and music has been compared by several critics to Katamari Damacy. Andras Neltz of Kotaku found the dissonance between the game's graphics, music and shooting mechanics to be "unsettling".
The game received mixed reception, according to review aggregator Metacritic.
Tyler Wilde of PC Gamer rated the game 82/100, calling the gameplay "great" despite being "merciless", but saying the presentation was "mediocre", as it was too "abstract" to be appealing.
