ere

A while back, I highlighted a game called Love in my Indie Nation series. Even if the game was too damn hard for me, I loved the game's unpretentious nature and the player's ability to set his or her own respawn points. 

At the time, the game cost $1 to play. Now it's free.

If the insane difficulty put you off from spending a greenback on the game back in May, worry not: now you can enjoy Love in all its addictive, sadistic glory without paying a single red cent.

Insert your own joke about the American economy here.

Seriously, though, the game's pretty cool and, now that it's free, I can't wait to see if anyone actually manages to beat it. Should anyone accomplish such a task, you'll have proven yourself infinitely cooler than I, or indeed most people, will ever be.

[Thanks, Blake!]

Oh hell yeah, I'm downloading that right this second.

Someone better stand under my window if they want a free laptop, I'll be chucking mine out of the window in no time. You might want to watch for the falling shards of glass, though...

I beat the demo relatively easily, so you bet your ass I'm gonna try and beat the full version.

I bought this when you featured it and it's awesome.I even gave more than 1$ for it. I almost finished it without dying to get the best ending but I lost one life on one of the lasts levels. I also finished it without setting any respawn points. Forgot about the game, I think I'll go and replay it now.

Ok I just went and played it again and I lost all my skills. I quit when I lost half my lives on the 3rd level, haha. I need to get the hang of the jumping again before I attempt a no death run again...

I played it for 45 mins. and got to a blue level that's like a maze. The level before it had me touch 4 circles to open a door.

It's pretty fun. I really like the music.

Holy shnikeys, you guys wrote another article about it! I really appreciate the love you guys are spreading (pardon the pun), and I hope you all enjoy it. My roommate and I are working on something a bit more substantial, but that won't be seeing much light in the foreseeable future.

Again, thanks to everyone who's tried it out, and thanks to those who have donated. You guys are the best.
