The much-anticipated, IGF-nominated, pixel-artisan’d indie scroller action game, Noitu Love 2, has finally arrived. (Well, it came out last week, actually, but I was on a secret mission to Moscow.) You can purchase the game via the developer’s site here, or check out the demo. (Less than a Peggle.)
It’s retro-robot-bashingly excellent, although I couldn’t find a button to quit. Esc for universal quit/menu standard!

Thats just silly

They explain quitting in the tutorial. Enter pauses, then you can use escape to quit. It is silly. Thankfully, the rest of the game is so great that I can forgive the gaffe.

You have to play through the tutorial to learn how to quit? Ehm….

If you like this one, try the original Noitu Love, it has the better soundtrack imho.

Love it.

I’m madly in love with this game. After playing the prequel and also loving it, I was a bit skeptical about the different control scheme, but using the mouse feels surprisingly good.

Played the demo, loved it. Also tried the predecessor on Gurrah’s recommendation and (after playing through a full level) found it extremely crude by comparison. This I mention to caution others.
But yeah, NL2 seems pretty rad.

Alt+F4.

@PleasingFungus: Yes, playing the first one after the second is definitely not a good idea. I just did it myself and, even though I really liked the original at first, now it feels completely obsolete.
