The version of SDL2 we shipped with on Windows had DPI scaling bug, causing the wrong resolution to be selected whenever the game was launched. This update brings SDL2 to the latest version 2.30.11 that should fix the issue. Thanks to the person who reported this! ːloveyouː

The developer made the effort to add Steam Trading Cards, but couldn’t be bothered to add any Steam achievements. With 80 levels across four different worlds, there were plenty of opportunities for achievements, whether for completing levels, solving difficult puzzles, or finishing the different worlds. The game is a decent little puzzle experience, but the lack of achievements is a disappointing omission for anyone...

Decent gameplay and puzzles, cool art style. The main mechanic of the game (attracting and repelling creatures) was pretty interesting, and there are multiple kinds of creatures which keeps things from getting stale. The sound effects drove me insane though, and not much of a story. I'd give it a 7/10.

Really love the puzzle. Almost all of the puzzle are easy to solve, I just tend to overthink it

It's a story light puzzle game, meaning you're better off watching a Let's Play

Cute Puzzle Game with interesting characters. You control 2 chars names Love and Hate. Love can only say "Love" which will lure the Other Ones closer to him, while Hate can only say "Hate" and shush the Other Ones away. You have to think before you make a move, otherwise you may lock yourself. There is an Undo Button, so you can try as long as you need. Behind the puzzles is also a little story, shown in...

(My first impression after 75 of 80 levels.) This is a puzzle game. It is not a platformer. You can't even jump. There is no story. There is no timer. You can't die, but you can get stuck, and then you need to restart or undo your last moves. Each level fits on a single screen, no scrolling. You guide two black dudes, love and hate, and they can pull or push other dudes around and step on them and on each other to...

This review is just my initial thoughts about the game, I hope to edit this into a more in-depth review once I finish the game. About Love, Hate and the other ones is a casual puzzle game. The idea is pretty simple: you control Love and Hate in an attempt to get from point A to point B. You click where you want them to go and they go there. Love has the ability to influence Lumps towards him while Hate has the...

About Love, Hate and the other ones may have a rather cumbersome title, but its gameplay is far from that. In fact, it's a very good puzzle game - it may have the looks of a platformer, but just like Toki Tori, to which it shows some resemblances, its not. The developers are the four guys of Black Pants Studio, a German indie development studio who have given us the amazing Tiny and Big: Grandpa's Leftover/ in 2012....

This deliciously titled game, whilst not having a ton of replay value, does leave you with a memorable and fun experience working through the 80 puzzle levels the game provides. The difficulty has a gradual progression, allowing you to warm up for the mental gymnastics - yet the visuals and ambient soundtrack make you feel at ease and relax at the same time. Definitely worth picking up this cute gem during sales :)

let's call this game a point & click platformer, though there's only indirect platforming thanks to the control scheme, which is also the reason I played it, would've passed on an actual puzzle platformer otherwise. you control two characters (love with a flower on his head, hate is the evil-looking one) and the idea is to push the red button on every level with either of them. simple click (or tab) to select, click...
