The Power of Love
A downloadable game for Windows
A Gauntlet of enemies in haunting locales await you and up to five friends (usb game controllers required for multiplayer). This game was made for the Global Game Jam 2013.
Share food to develop relationships and heal your wounds, or be greedy and powerup your strength. But remember: Everyone needs to eat! Monsters will appear from their nests which you will have to break. Destroy the heart of the area to open the locked door! (Note: buildings and the heart have no visible feedback that you are hurting them. just keep swinging, young hero!)
Equip rare equipment to be even stronger!

- 9 Characters to choose from with vaguely different stats!
- Various weapons with slightly discernible effects. Armor and other equipment will protect you, and food can help you both power up and fall in love.
- Romance will realistically improve your chances of finding rare treasures. Share your food!
- A variety of enemies will act differently. Don't be overrun, destroy the horde but break their nests too!

Install instructions
Unzip and run .exe
Control with arrows, X and C for the two actions, V for the item menu.
ITEM MENU EXPLANATIONS
The item menu is relatively intuitive for food: hold down to eat, hold up to share. If another player goes near you, they can use the item button to share the meal.
For equipment, the item menu is bizarre: If over an item, hold the item menu button and press the direction for which you want to put the item in the slot. Over no item, the arrows will exchange the middle item with the one in that direction.
Action 1 will use the weapon in the middle slot
Action 2 will use the weapon in the left slot
Hats and helmets will provide a bonus if in the top slot
Armor will provide a bonus if in the right slot
Shoes and boot will provide a bonus if in the bottom slot.
Good luck and apologies for this convoluted mess, we were young and brave.
