If ever there were a love letter written to 1990's era Treasure, Noitu Love 2 is it. Frantic, fast, furious, and fun. It can take a bit to come to grips with the unique control scheme, but once you've spent some time in the tutorial and gotten mastery of a few stages under your belt, you'll be up to speed and zip around the screen causing all manners of chaos.

The game features an incredible amount of variety packed into its arcade length. There's no shortage of stage gimmicks and unique fodder enemies to pound away on, and how could you forget the positively over-the-top boss encounters, which will push your dexterity to the limit and require a good bit of thought to truly best.

Noitu Love's difficulty is also balanced very well. Each of the game's difficulties suits a range of player skill levels, and advancing to a higher difficulty level doesn't only make enemies hit harder, they also have a few new tricks up their sleeve which keep things fresh and interesting. It's far from punishing like a lot of 2D platformers and action games these days tend to be, but you will be tested and failure only leads to more learning.

Add a couple unlockable playable characters with some fun stage variations between them on top and you've got an amazingly solid little package just eager for lovers of frantic old-school games to take hold of and enjoy.

Do you like Mischief Makers? Do you like Gunstar Heroes? Do you like Alien Soldier? Do you happen to enjoy highly-rasterized cult classics with fast movement and faster combat (Treasure games)? If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, then pick up Noitu Love 2. Each one of your punches and kicks resonates with that distinctive crunch and pop that calls pixel art games home, while an unrelenting lo-fi keyboard soundtrack and and screen-filling explosions whenever anything blows up (there's hardly a moment where something isn't blowing up) seal the aesthetic deal. It's very satisfying when all's said and done. Good game for speedrunning if you're into that, too, since the entire game is built on that very concept.

Nominated For The “I Thought This Game Was Cool Before It Won An Award” Award!

Pretty good but short sequel to original Noitu Love,It's a good example how indie games should be made: nice soundtrack, colorful pixel graphics low price and interesting gameplay, every enemy has a new attack, so you'll need to adapt to it, even after 5 years of my first playthrough I've had fun playing it, so I would recommend this game for buying even at full price.

Most amazing 12MB on the internet!

Seriously, If you like fast paced 2D action games, you will adore this game. Controls are quite innovative - they take advantage of mouse & keyboard setup and create a beat'em-up game that works suprisingly well. Bosses in this game show up at killer rate and each one of them is pretty imaginative and fun to fight. Graphics are also solid. 16-bit feel is present here.

There are only two hickups. Firstly, one level forces you to use unique weapon and game is not that good in explaining how it exacly works. This can lead to few deaths before you eventually get that devs wanted you to do. Secondly, title is little on the short side, but fortunetly unlockable playable characters make up for it.

If you are looking for Hidden Indie Gem on Steam, this is it! Noitu Love 2 is a awesome game, worth your time and money.

You know, some games just have a great style.
The story is so-so (IMO), and technically, the game would be "meh" overall. Yet, the music is great, the set pieces for each stage are coming together so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, for a lack of a better word, stylish, that the game's simply hard not to love.
A good game for a good price, this one may give you some fond memories and some fun time. One of the few indie titles I've honestly enjoyed all the way through.
Too bad I cant spend my dosh to buy the soundtrack on Steam, but I guess an officially free download is acceptable.

I recommend this obscure gem that goes unnoticed by many people. Very fun and with a great replay factor, this unique game has beautiful visuals and great music in 16-bit style.

Beautiful sprite works from veteran sprite artist Joakim ‘Konjak’ Sandberg, even this game is intended for using mouse and keyboard, i think the controller is well implemented, while this game also is kinda short, but it really had a full of variation of cute monster design and great boss battle

I bought this on a little bit a whim, and I was not dissapointed. It's a truckload of fun. It's exceptionally fast-paced and crazy-- in a good way.

Also, you can play as Mr. Almond, whose gameplay revolves around sliding around on his belly and being dragged around helplessly by your cursor. It's a sight to behold.

This game is a nice little hidden gem to discovery.
It gameplay remind me of Gunstar Heroes.
Each character have a different kind of gameplay, which make the game even more interesting.
Luv it! =P
