About Love, Hate and the other ones is a really unique puzzle game. I loved the way Love and Hate each have their own powers, and the puzzles are designed around their personalities. The art is simple but full of character, and the gameplay is both relaxing and challenging. It’s one of those games you can enjoy at your own pace, and the atmosphere is perfect for a cozy game night. Highly recommended for puzzle fans!

This game’s not about drive and not about power, but about love, hate and the other ones.

I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing. Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side. With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could play WITH ONE HAND while recovering. Somehow, I stumbled upon this game and read some of the comments. I decided it was worth a try... I must admit I didn't beat the game, nor did I play as much as some of you. In fact, I may have played this game for only a day or two. That being said, after doing so, I had a new joy and hope for life. I managed to leave behind the pain and suffering that had been thrust upon me. I could experience the joy and happiness of other people. I relaxed for 5 ♥♥♥♥ minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay. After realizing this, I turned off the game and went back to work. My hand hurt a lot, but I was motivated. I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and became the father I needed to be at that moment, not the weak boy I was behaving like. Today, I am close friends with the mother of my children. We don't fight, argue, or say hurtful things to each other. We are parents and friends. Now I have 3 children. My third child is, wait, ALSO 4 YEARS OLD. The woman I am with was going through a very similar situation at the time of my separation, and we just unexpectedly stumbled into each other's lives. We have been dating for a year and are very happy together. Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today. This silly little game helped me realize that. Thank you.

A simple and likable 2D game about drawing NPC's closer or sending them away to use their heads as footstools. Callous, maybe, but necessary. The gameplay is that simple. You click to send either Love or Hate there - you can click whichever of them you want to be active - and if you click on a "Lazy One", Hate will send a hurtful word or Love will send a comforting one to push or pull the NPC respectively. It's simple, but it makes for great puzzle solving variety. One thing I'm not so sure about is that the projectile- yes, it's a projectile- can collide on the corners of tiles. So far it hasn't gotten in the way of levels' solutions, but it still seems more like the projectile blocking should be limited to the thicker part of environmental blocks and, obviously, Love and Hate themselves. The art is great! It takes me back to a time before I lost myself in despair and each game had to be as great to look at as it is to play. The hand-drawn, hand-colored style give the sense that this ridiculously simplistic world is really there all the same and that Love, Hate, and the Lazy Ones are actually living things in it. It's a simple fun game that's great to look at. I recommend getting it on sale.
