Love can oftentimes feel like playing games. You fail, fail, and fail. Despite all of that, you never stop getting back up to try again.

Playing games oftentimes comes with the same sensations of admiration and happiness that love can provide to you. Games can fill some of your greatest memories.

Although there are so many different kinds of games, we never stop pursuing that love we feel towards them. No matter the time period or genre, that chase for love never quite stops. It's what unites all games together. 

This abstract game comes from an area of love and respect. A reminder of how amazing and incredible love is. I hope you love playing games just as much as me.

This is really AWESOME. The different styles of "play" presented here (2D Platformer, Top-Down, Action) conveyed as these more abstract games makes me realize and appreciate the simple joy of games as a whole. The use of fade-in/out and title cards makes everything feel like a very cohesive package (while still paying homage to memorable games).

btw this itch page and logo is fire

is the large sword level some puzzle? why am I always sent back?

i was having some trouble with that too, but I think it's a 3-hit kind of deal, so having to reach that boss three times without dying i think?
