Game is cute and has some cute music but its really hard. Everything red kills you, and I couldn't figure out why I was dying. If a red Apple falls to the ground, you die. If you get hit once by a projectile, you die. If you touch some random red object on the ground, you die. You also have to be really speedy. Not the game for me, but maybe it is for you.

Soundtrack is good and has a good art style. The game it self isn't all too fun

Let it be known that I discovered this game through the music being used as Querxes's outro music on YouTube. The music is great, the game is not.

way too cheap and simple for it's own good

Control mapping doesn't work. The game overall isn't any good.

It's a shame as this game actually is really good especially the aesthetic they went with (its so freaking cute and i wanna see more games with this style) and gets you motivated to get all those 3 stars on each level for the first 3 worlds (personally) even with some annoying gimmicks like the apple's

All that unfortunately comes crashing down with world 4 as not only is the spike in difficulty just completely frustrating the main two gimmicks they introduce are just the freaking worst things you can add in this sort of genre. Like ok the enemy that ends the level if you don't kill fast enough is annoying but you can deal with it however that other gimmick being the FOG makes this whole game fall apart imo, not only do you have your vision obfuscated now you gotta deal with the apples and homing shots coming from all angles and frankly its just too much to expect of the player who for the past 3 worlds were only mildly challenge and then are just expected to beat ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ zone. (yeah skill issue blah blah)

Lovely Planet didn't walk it stumbled where Neon White made sure to run far away from this game's shortcomings

Lovely Planet is incredibly deceiving in it's challenge, the first 2 worlds are decent starts to what seems like a fun-"gimmick"-puzzle shooter with an emphasis on speedrunning, especially with the stars as a challenge (No Missed Shots, Under Par Time) but later on these get BEYOND what most players can do, it goes straight into having to make incredibly quick time shots, and nigh perfect timing to even get through certain levels. The Apples will be one of the biggest pains in the ass throughout the game but into "The Swamp" you'll be grinding your teeth if you're not fast enough or just calm enough to handle the trial and error it requires.
I can only recommend Lovely Planet for Well-Skilled Perfectionists and Speedrunners, It's NOT made for just anyone. I'm not even sure I'll be able to get through the last of this. Also one last thing I don't get why the levels in each world changes so rapidly.

please just get the sequel its better

I was really loving this game, everything felt great and the difficulty progression from worlds 1 to 3 felt natural and fun, and then from world 4 onwards things got really out of hand in a way that didn't feel fair at all, with the fog that hid bombs just out of view until it was too late, made it hard to judge which shots are and aren't homing in the moment, and is just conceptually a pretty ♥♥♥♥ mechanic for this kind of game completely ruining the vibe, and while it does go away in the next world the level design really doesn't recover and just turns into a trial and error slog. Obviously, a game of this nature is going to come down to trial and error at the end of the day, but the level design really goes out of its way to prevent you from having a chance to see anything coming and just makes you bash your head against the wall for ages to make any progress, testing your patience moreso than aim or movement.
These level design issues are made worse by how off-center your gun's shots initially are, making them likely to hit nearby terrain rather than whatever you're aiming at or miss altogether if you're too close, and the tiny little detail that you don't have any crosshair to aim distant shots. To be fair this is fixable with third party software, but it's an inexcusable omission in a modern shooter, let alone one that demands perfect accuracy. idk, this game might just not be for me but it was extremely noticeable just how fast it went downhill.

I do not recommend
