- LOVISH Announcement - by LABS & Matt Kapp - 18 October 2024
Hey everyone! This is Matt Kap! Some of you may know me from my work on Astalon: Tears of the Earth, Castle In The Darkness and The Binding Of Isaac: Rebirth. I’d like to introduce LABS' newest game that was just announced, LOVISH! What started off as a side-project that I was messing around with in between Castle In The Darkness 2 tasks (that’s still going smoothly by the way) has become a full and proper game! LOVISH is an action-adventure platformer that’s full of heart (get it?)! Play as Sir Solomon, as he quests through 50+ bite-sized stages in order to “rescue” the “love of his life”, Princess Tsuna, from the grasp of the evil Devil Lord! Between every stage, you will see a random event scene, in which anything could happen! Honestly, the less said the better, there are a lot of surprises. Find items, defeat monsters, see familiar faces, and collect crowns on your way to your show…

- The modern Metroidvania had a vintage year, but the simplest one is the best - 26 December 2021
