This is just such an adorable idea. The first person to finish Love Letter will have the opportunity to write a dedication to the one they love on the game’s title screen. And everyone will see it.
Love Letter is a tricky 2D platformer. You move from screen to screen collecting hearts, all 50 of which must be collected – without dying – before you’re considered to have finished the game.
Beyond the sweet dedication idea and the wonderfully well-chosen colour palette, what I like about Love Letter is the switchable characters. You start out black, but when you walk into a heart, you switch to red. In this form you’re smaller so you can squeeze through tinier corridors, and you’re also able to jump higher and further. Walk back into a heart and you’ll switch back to black.
It adds a nice puzzle element as you’re exploring the levels that complements the straightforward platforming and trap-dodging that forms the staple gameplay.
Can a Kotaku reader be the first person to finish Love Letter?
