I laughed at the concept of a "gaming" chromebook, but this game got the full 120fps to be as gamer serious as using the wiiu controller adapter to play... which also worked.

I really loved Lovely Planet! As a former speedrunner (barely) I always appreciate when games lean into additional challenges to keep it fresh. The bonus stars for perfect accuracy and getting a fast time were amazing! I didn't know you could get the stars separately until after I 100%'d the game lmao, so I forced myself to get the time and the accuracy in one go :,)
I will say though, the difficulty creep was surprising. I blew past the three star requirements for all of the first worlds, but once it got to world 3+ it definitely took some time. Especially in the mountains (world 5) I had to come back to it after an extended break to finish off that one.The secrets helped balance that out though! Having something special to scavenge for in a lot of the levels was really cool! I think it added a lot to the game, very good decision to add a ton of those.

Overall I will definitely be playing Lovely Planet 2! I will definitely take a break xD but I will play it at some point that's for sure. What a wonderful game, and a great pickup for anyone who enjoys arcade games, fps games, or even just enjoys going for fast times on a leaderboard! Love it!
