Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is a two-player co-op micro-platformer that tasks you and a real good bud with manning the guns of a day-glo spaceship. “In mish-mash terms,” say developers Asteroid Base, “you could describe it as Jumpman meets Asteroids meets Han saying ‘Don’t get cocky’.”

Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is a frantic 1- or 2-player couch co-op action game. Explore a colourful galaxy in a massive neon battleship that you control together by manning turrets, lasers.

I’d say it’s more like FTL made by Terry Cavanagh. Or a militarised Numskulls. Or the future adventures of the Teletubbies, set loose post-environmental apocalypse to find a new home to colonise. Ludo king game for free. Or what’s really going on inside a bath bomb.

Or the best turret sequence ever devised. Or a metaphor for McCarthyism. Or the fever dreams of Bobby Kotick. Or Disney’s Star Wars.
