The Final Frontier

L0VE, ALL YOU NEED IS L0VE.


But this isn't love. Real love can't be bought, nor can it be sold. Sorry, it's true. You will not find love browsing a digital game store. But can you trust me when I say that I made this with love? That I love making games and I love anyone who bothers to play them? It's true. I am not a salesperson, trying to make a pitch. This is not an advertisement. It's just a "thank you" note, a love letter of sorts, to you. Thank you for taking interest in my game.

WHAT IS L0VE?


Levels redesigned, remodeled, and retextured from scratch.


Baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me, no more.

Weapons redesigned, remodeled, and retextured from scratch.


Baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me, no more.

New trippy (and very seizure inducing, seriously don't play this if you have epilepsy) and stunning visual effects across the board.


L0VE is not a game, it is art you can play.


The visuals are the best part of PH0B0S by far. It's pretty simple otherwise.

Levels:


  • PLANETARIUM: a vaporwave inspired vision of paradise.
  • CHESS: a corrupted acid trip of spasming walls and optically confounding game pieces.
  • ORBIT: blotches of ink rain from a crack in the sky.
  • MINOTAUR: [redacted] [no literally]
  • MONUMENT: a shimmering statue surrounded by swirling sands and shining sunbeams that stab at stygian shadow.
  • SKYTOWER: the most retro and absurd of all, the essence of PH0B0S, beyond description.


Weapons:


  • STARHOOK: The magical girl's weapon of choice, complete with star and heart "particles". There are no actual particles in PH0B0S. Ever notice that?
  • ZSWORD: A flowery rapier of, truth be told, subpar utility. Points for style, right?
  • ATTRACTION BEAM: Basically just an upgrade to the rifle. Love is war.
  • COMMET HAMMER: The funniest weapon of them all, rocket towards either certain victory or certain death! And now it's PURPLE!

    Some Movement / Combat Techniques:
    Hook Climbing:
    Attacking upward into a wall with the Starhook will propel you up it.

    Beam Climbing:
    Firing the Attraction Beam at walls will cause you to spiral towards them, as long as you're in range.

    Hammer Jumping:
    Attacking at a downward angle with the Comet Hammer into walls or the ground will launch you away.

    Attack Cancelling:
    Firing your gun in the middle of an attack will cause it to end early, at the expense of a bullet.

    Weapon Combos:
    You can switch weapons mid attack to form a string of attacks.
