Hotfix 1.68

Hello lovelies Too many particles in the clouds were slowing down the game to unplayable framerates which should be fixed in this update. In exactly one week from now, it's going to be the 10 year anniversary of this game. To all those who are still enjoying jumping and shooting through the floating islands of Lovely Planet, thank you for sticking around Infinite Bliss

Hotfix 1.67

Hello there! New build fixes issue with framerate settings not being set on start-up. Do note the framelimiter value won't be set if V-Sync is enabled. Have a great weekend! Infinite Bliss

Hotfix 1.66

Hello! Back with a quick update - a select few sounds in the game weren't attached to the correct effects channel which was making them extra loud!
Particularly the sound effects for flying enemies and unlocking secrets. Sorry to anyone who was affected by this I personally really dislike this sort of a thing. This issue is now fixed. If you happen to find any other sounds that are too loud, please let me know and I will fix them immediately. Also, the trophy button in the main menu now navigates to the proper speedrun.com page for the game.
Note - Only the Windows build is updated as of now. I will have the Mac version up hopefully soon. Have a great weekend! Infinite Bliss

Hotfix 1.65

Hello! Taking a quick break from working on a potential new Lovely Planet game and customizing my mech in Armored Core 6 to get this small update for us that allows arrow keys to be bindable in the rebind menu.
Make sure to set the "Controller" option to "no" for them to function properly. Hope your weekend was rad! Infinite Bliss

Hotfix 1.64

Hello again! After sitting on this one for a while, I'm deciding to change the qualification time on 5-5 from 6.98 to a more lenient 7.08. It's quite possible that with the underlying engine update, I might have included minor changes in the physics and timing that make it just a little bit too difficult to achieve that time compared to the original version of the game. It is still possible to hit the 6.98 but can involve hacks and tricks that I don't intend players to have to put up with. I know this can be quite unfair to old players who put in the hard work for that level before, so my apologies to anyone who might feel this is not right . But the game is fundamentally different now and it's been almost a decade since the release, so I think it's okay to make this small change to help reduce the suffering for new players who might be struggling a bit too much with this level. The new time is not that much easier to hit, so I think this change keeps in the spirit of World 5 being obtusely difficult as I originally intended it to be. I hope that with this update, your time with the game is smoother and more lovely. Infinite Bliss

Hotfix 1.63

Hello hello! Quick update that addresses the Restart key not being rebindable in the controls menu. Hot tip : you can change the sensitivity options using the Tab and Tilde (~) keys for faster scrolling. The same keys that allow level scrolling in-game. Infinite Bliss


[ 2023-08-14 00:13:41 CET ] [ Original post ]


Hotfix 1.62

Hello! This update adds a Developer Console to the game which can be accessed from the Main Menu.
Hit Shift + F1 to enable the console. For now, the following commands are available for use. 1) "unlock" - a soft unlock that opens all levels in the main menu. This command doesn't affect your saved progress. 2) "reset_secrets" - resets all secrets. This will remove your progress from the save file. Achievements will not be affected. All commands need to be prefixed with "!!" to work. I'll add some more functions in updates to follow. First Lovely Planet update to ship from Japan! Infinite Bliss


[ 2023-05-13 06:09:13 CET ] [ Original post ]


Hotfix 1.61

Hello! Quick fix for Lovely Planet that allows mouse buttons to be set in the rebind menu! You can now remap the Fire button to a different key and map any action to either of the left, right or middle mouse buttons! Infinite Bliss


[ 2023-04-26 08:00:11 CET ] [ Original post ]


Update 1.6

Hello! This update introduces a new options menu. Navigating the settings menu is now a lot easier and intuitive!
Since the settings menu was replaced with a better system, all saved settings will reset to default. New options include independent controller sensitivity, individual X/Y invert & FoV.

Pro tip : The Tab and ~ keys can be used to quickly skip scrollable values. The new input system also finally fixes the issue where you had to leave and press the arrow keys again before starting a new level! Hope you're enjoying the game! Up next, some QoL features for speedrunners. Infinite Bliss


[ 2023-03-21 00:15:14 CET ] [ Original post ]


Hotfix 1.55

Hello Lovelies! Celebrating the success of the last hotfix, we've got another fresh update that fixes the LiveSplit interface to split on the final level before the credits roll. Also, a missing fish model was missing in 2-12, which is now fixed. Thanks again to the community for finding this!
While the menu issue is resolved for now, I'm planning a larger update that overhauls the UI to make the whole experience more streamlined. Have a nice weekend! Infinite Bliss


[ 2023-03-10 02:23:24 CET ] [ Original post ]


Hotfix 1.54

Greetings! We continue with the struggle to address the issue with the in-game menu crashing. Once we get to the bottom of this, expect a major update that revamps the whole menu system. Thank you for your patience Infinite Bliss


[ 2023-03-10 00:48:11 CET ] [ Original post ]


Hotfix 1.53

Hi, how are you? I'm inching closer to solving the problem where the submit button doesn't work, which keeps some players from starting levels This update addresses this issue. Thanks a lot to the community for helping troubleshoot this issue See you in the next update changelog! Have a great weekend! Infinite Bliss


[ 2023-03-09 14:44:32 CET ] [ Original post ]


Hotfix 1.52

Quick hotfix! Attempted fix for speedrun route not working after 1.5 in levels 2-5 & 5-3. Improved autosplitter functionality, now includes world and level index. I've found a solution to the issue where the submit key doesn't work in the menu. Will address in next update! Cheers!


[ 2023-03-09 13:02:28 CET ] [ Original post ]


Hotfix 1.51

Hello there! Quick update that make sit easier for the game to communicate with Livesplit. Also shipping a possible solution for a bug that makes the Submit key not work in the world select making it impossible for some players to select a level. Considering a menu overhaul. Lots of potential here for QoL update! Note : Update only live on Windows version right now. Infinite Bliss

Update 1.5

It's been a while!


Hello there fellow Lovelies Hope you're all doing well! It's been eight years since Lovely Planet was first released and it almost feels like a lifetime ago. I've been on and off with sequels and spinoffs of the original game which some of you might have heard of over the years. I've not been actively supporting older titles for a multitude of reasons, mostly because of my interest in exploring new gameplay and ideas. I want to apologize for being absent from the discussion board and a big thanks to all the community members who have provided support for everyone The other reasons range from lazy excuses to formidable technical hurdles that I created for myself unknowingly. With free time on my hands again and a sudden mysterious drive that's bringing me back to working on Lovely Planet , I've crossed one very big technical hurdle with surprisingly little effort. I won't bore you with the technical details, but the game is now ported over to a newer version of the underlying engine. The biggest change - we're supporting modern 64-bit macOS! And now that the game is better positioned for potential future updates, I'll try to touch it up when I get more time. The Linux build will be a while longer, more updates on that soon. Hope you are enjoying the game! If you're looking for a fresh challenge and a little bit more variety in gameplay, I'd suggest giving Lovely Planet Remix a look see! It's got a demo too if you'd like to try it first! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1604780 Other than that, I don't have any specifics about what kind of updates we're going to see for Lovely Planet going forward. I'll be taking the winter off to see if I can find some inspiration, maybe I'll prototype a bit. A new title? Ahhh, the good ol' days! Love making videogames! See you on the leaderboards Infinite Bliss - Vidhvat

Wishlist on Steam and join the Discord! As always, the game is not a direct sequel to the original and changes a lot of things which might come to some as an unexpected surprise. Here's a quick disclaimer about what to expect from the new game for fans of the original. [quote]Lovely Planet Remix extends the original game with a variety of drastic variations that impose restrictions like no mid-air control, no jumping, slower movement & bullet drop among others in the vein of older retro shooters with non-standard control schemes, some of which are designed intentionally to be unwieldy, cumbersome and annoying to play by modern standards. Please try the demo to sample the different styles before purchasing the game.[/quote] Thank you and wishing everyone a happy holiday season! Cheers

"A great, merciless speedrunning platformer and twitch shooter" - 82/100, PCGamer


WOO! Hi everyone. The first reviews are coming in and people seem to be liking it. Thanks everyone for the support! Meanwhile I'm compiling an FAQ for the game, and some of the most asked questions so far: Q - How much will the game cost? A - It will launch at $5.99, with the same price across UK and EUR based on today's conversion rate Q - How do you get each of the stars? Anaswer.... Blue Star - Finish the level Green Star - Finish the level under the 'Q' qualification time The FAQ thread is unlocked so go ahead and ask questions there Yellow Star - Finish the level with 100% accuracy (no wasted bullets)
