-
Sep 30, 2015Lovers in a dangerous spacetime is a brilliant co-op game with some clever ideas and a very nice look. Played alone is mildly fun, but when you play with a friend it's a total blast.
-
Sep 13, 2015This is one of the best indie games we've played this years. Unless you don't like coop experiences, Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is a game you should play.

Sep 29, 2015Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is a fun and enjoyable take on the shooter genre, focusing on exploration of each area instead of vertical or horizontal scrolling.
-
Sep 15, 2015A few difficulty spikes threaten to spoil the colorful, effervescent fun in Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime’s frantic cooperative 2D-shooter action, but its novel core emphasis on relying on coordination with another player or an AI partner to overcome such challenges is usually strong enough to overcome the occasional frustration.

-
Sep 8, 2015Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is a fun experience that excels both in terms of mechanics and presentation and manages to showcase the kind of innovation that indie teams can deliver in a genre that has long been ignored.

Oct 12, 2015A very clever and addictive shoot'em up co-op game, with a lovable, not pun intended, appearance. Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime has some little flaws, like its difficulty spikes, but aside those it's perfectly executed.

CD-ActionJan 12, 2016A beautiful game that shines in co-op but doesn’t have much to offer to a lone player. [13/2015, p.52]

-
Nov 11, 2015This is a simplistic albeit immensely entertaining game if you experience it with a friend. The demanding situations of the later stages will require your utter cooperation leading to exciting battles for survival. Being designed as a primarily co-op experience, though, you should prepare for a more dull and trivial experience if you approach it as a single player game.
-
Sep 14, 2015Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is the ideal game to play with two players. Your space ship has a unique way of controlling it in which you have to do everything at once, but it works like a charm. Everyone has its own tasks, but it is just as important to function as a team.
