Feb 10, 2026When all is said and done, Lovish is a spectacular game. It’s colorful, creative, funny and easy to play in short bursts. Not only is this one of the best games I’ve played from DANGEN Entertainment and LABS Works, but it’s just engaging and very easy to recommend. Any fan of retro or platformers absolutely needs to own this crazy love letter to the genre.

Feb 5, 2026Lovish is a whirlwind of quirky challenges, absurd humor, and clever surprises in every corner. Each room feels like a mini adventure, packed with secrets, chaotic encounters, and playful twists that keep the game unpredictable. It’s short, smart, and brimming with personality, proving that a small game can leave a big impression.

Apr 2, 2026Single-hit deaths and a variety of challenges are countered by some silliness and reasonably-tight controls to make for a retro-styled bit of fun.

Feb 23, 2026The thing I really enjoyed about Lovish is that it’s just very surprising. Many of the cinematics are clever, there’s a set of late-game bosses and stages and directly reference many NES games from my childhood including Super Mario Bros. 3 and Bubble Bobble, among others, and you’ll occasionally find yourself playing a shockingly long minigame based directly on some old favorites. The cinematics might get old, and some of the Crowns are weirdly hard to find, but overall, I think this Lovish is a fun romp.
