Lovely Planet 2: April Skies

Assumes that just because a controller is plugged it, I want to play with a controller. It still allows keyboard and mouse, but all the on-screen menus are designated using controller buttons, so the UI is very hard to navigate. Frankly I've got better things to do than figure this out.

the additional polish comes at the expense of difficulty which is a bit upsetting but i'm glad we got this game anyhow adding an indicator for the apple drops does wonders

Very short. Maybe a couple hours if not going for secrets or 100%. Last world is unplayably hard. Secrets are more tedious than rewarding. Secrets should've just been included in the levels rather than found.

Unfortunately, streets have been saying the lovely planet franchise is a one hit wonder. Way too easy compared to it's predecessor, I just completely blitzed through this one. This is the first game I've played in years that I've thought was too short. And not in a "man I wish there was more" sense, in a "that's it?" sense. They also removed the leaderboard for some reason? This removes any and all motivation to improve your times, even though the game seems to be built around that idea still? There is cool stuff in this though. Soundtrack is still nice and the new jump lends itself much better to performing skips. Massive fan of all the new mechanics introduced. especially when you teleport to the enemies. It's really cool, kinda reminds me of this hidden gem called Neon White.

start with the og Lovely Planet. if you like that, this is more of the same but better. lovely game. challenging, fun, addictive, interesting, and so nicely designed.
