I’m always on the lookout for a good pixel-art platformer, so when Sir Lovelot appeared on my radar, I was instantly intrigued. This is a classic-style 2D platformer about a knight who throws himself into all sorts of danger to impress princesses and hopefully find true love.
Sir Lovelot reminds me of a version of Super Meat Boy that was designed using the aesthetic of Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse — and this is definitely intended to be a compliment.
Here’s a list of features straight from a recent press release:
- Love is a battlefield, and you’re about to find out why, as you take on devious challenges, in over 40 handcrafted levels.
- Take on rivals to your affections as you face unsavory nasties who roam the land looking to end your journey in heartbreak.
- The road to romance is rarely straightforward; discover secrets and special treasure that will surely surprise your future paramour.
- Serenade your player 2 with a beautiful soundtrack by Alexander Falinski, known for his talent on Cut the Rope, LightSlinger Heroes, and Tap the Frog.
- Sir Lovelot is fluent in 14 love languages: English, French, Dutch, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Polish, Turkish, Korean, Japanese, Chinese – Traditional, Luxembourgish.
Sir Lovelot is due out March 3 for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Steam. You can check out the game’s launch trailer below.
