Description:
Love+ is a platformer. True and simple. Move from the start to the finish. The game has 11 different levels, and you are graded upon completion of said levels. Once you're done, submit your score to the internet, and see who is the best!

It's a 3-bit platforming adventure game starring a nameless faceless character that hopefully you will ascribe your own personalities and quirks to. The goal of the game is to get from here to there, and depending on how well you do it, you're rewarded with a different finale.

Why love? Because love is a concept as ambiguous as this game is. Everyone has their own idea of love. Their own hopes and aspirations for what love holds, and we all approach love in different ways. Some of us are quick and straight to the point, while others are slow and cautious. There are also some people who don't believe in love, and I stand by the thought that they'll get nothing out of this game.

Opinion:
Love+ is a great retro platformer. As well as the fantastic graphics it also has unique gameplay, an online scoreboard, and multiple endings.
