The value story

The value story

64 discounts in the 13 years on record, a median of 66 percent off across all of them, roughly 8 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 19 weeks ago.

Against its own genre its score lands in the top 4 percent. It is cheaper than 74 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 96 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. VVVVVV ($4.99, scores 96) and Gato Roboto ($7.99, scores 82) both outscore it.

What players say

A lovely little platformer with challenging levels, tight controls, and solid tunes. There's a lot to LOVE here! I'm so funny.

The LOVE series is pure platforming. No quests, no dialog, just pure skill and smooth tunes.

Diving into this game feels like a bath of chocolate- sweet and a little sticky. My emotions bounce like a cat on a keyboard - one moment romance, the next full chaos!
