Join him in a wacky precision platformer in which he’ll realize that finding love isn’t as easy as he thinks! Collects gifts, avoid treacherous hazards and fight off weird creatures, all in the best possible time! It's an absolutely heartbreaking hairy-tale, if ever there was one...

Sir Lovelot reminds me of a bit of Super Meat Boy, but easier and less hair pulling challenging. It’s a fun addictive little platformer that will have players go “one just more level” until they reach the end.

With a silly premise, tight 2D gameplay, and rewarding collectibles, Sir Lovelot is sure to delight as you master stage after stage.

Sir Lovelot is the next entry in the tough 2D platformer craze, following in the footsteps of Super Meat Boy and Celeste. Set out on a cartoony adventure to save the princesses across the land. However, does it do enough to stand out from the crowd?

So, here I am comparing Sir Lovelot to a game made eleven years ago. Had the developers made one or two slightly different decisions, Sir Lovelot would earn a place in my heart. Instead, I tore through the game in two hours – though this could be extended if you want to find all the hidden items and secrets. I felt deflated after every level. Like a jilted lover, Sir Lovelot did not perform.

Sir Lovelot is a fun 2D platformer with tight controls, but light on content.
