It's okay to say motherfuck once or twice, then it just gets stupid/silly.

I saw the trailer for Lovely Planet and didn't really know what it is, but this quicklook has convinced me. The deceptive charm of the visuals and audio is great.

Dan and Drew have ascended to my favorite Quick Look pair.

Don't shoot the butts out from under things. That sounds like it's always gonna end poorly.

That takes some mad skillz.

Playing this right now, up to 2-4 which is fucking hard, what level is the one in the GIF?

Made a video for 2-3 to show how tough it can be (choppy cause recorded off a laptop):

BTW Totally in love with this game, nothing out there quite like this mix of speedrun FPS platformer with cute aesthetic and awesome soundtrack by Calum Bowen (Cloudface).

100% accuracy and three stars or nothing. That gif is literally shit tier.

No way! Make a video, mang, need to learn from the best. Wish this had the downloadable ghosts like from Mirror's Edge.

I actually made a video of 4-5 for my post in the forums about this game: http://www.giantbomb.com/lovely-planet/3030-47153/forums/this-game-is-great-fans-of-old-school-shooters-wil-1491185/#1

NICE thanks!

The music sounds like Bo En (at least a bit in the 2nd world).

@danryckert novice Japanese reader- one of the text bits that came out of the enemy means "Defeated" I'm pretty sure. When you shoot the enemy bullets I think it says "Parried". When you shoot the "good" guys and it resets you, it says "Ally"

Time for conspiracy of the day, this whole game is the perspective of a U.S. soldier in Okinawa during WWII who has lost touch with reality after experiencing the horrors of burning out bunkers with a flamethrower.

So it's basically LA Noire: Gaiden

@mysterysheep: Awesome :D I had no idea he composed music. I saw him live when he opened for Anamanaguchi. It was an interesting performance and Jeff's personal Hell as he had a lot of Yoshi samples.

Best part of this is Drew slyly making fun of Dans overuse of the word idiot.

Dan and Drew QL's should probably just have the subtitle "Butts and Idiots" from now on.

The art style and the music were the only things that drew me in for the first half of this QL, but seeing how the challenge ramps up soon made me way more interested in the game. Definitely checking it out.

Thanks for this, DanDrew (that's totally gonna be a thing)

Why does the music sound like a midi version of The Cure?

Just watched Jeff playing this on the Thanksgiving stream. Matt Rory mentioned there was a QL of this and I knew I had to check it out.

As of now (Nov 29) this game is half off ($2.99 on Steam), and the OST is another $2.99 if you want it. I don't even play games on PC much, but I'm DLing this right now... Gonna jam the hell out of that soundtrack in my car.

I have the Chrome extension that replaces any text that mention the word "cloud" into "butt"... so an article mentioning iCloud would instead say iButt. Super fun.

Any way, I got super confused watching this QL because I had to continually remind myself that the extension can't replace spoken words in videos (obviously)... so I was wierded out every time Dan said "shoot the butts!"... like a constant stream of brain farts with me going "oh this extension is really advanced!" all the time.
