It’s a review of a puzzle game from Youzu Stars called the Love Engine. Batten down the hatches and let’s start.

Simple But Magical Graphics

Love Engine Review

Each level has the same theme, but it’s different in color and there are a few variations on each. The overall graphics is simple, but clean and it has this magical touch to it. It’s supposed to be a romantic love puzzle, but the two characters in the game look more like of ghosts than lovers. Nevertheless, they are still cute. Nothing’s too fancy or intricate about the overall look, but it works and the pastel colors are great on the eyes.

Soothing Background Music

The background music is a winner. Even if you won’t play the game, listening to its music is worth it, especially if you want to feel relaxed, because it’s soothing and calming. Piano is used for playing the music. There are no lyrics that came with it but it’s enough as it sounds good.

Fresh Take on Puzzle Game

Like most puzzle games there’s a specific goal that you need to achieve on each level. Most of these games will require you to move the character directly. This game has a fresh take on that one. You will not be moving the characters directly because there are two hearts that you need to move to push the characters on the direction that you want them to go. The main goal is to let them meet so you can move to the next level. Moving two characters by yourself is also something that you don’t see on most games.

Can Be Slow

This free to play game can may take a little getting used to compared to other puzzle games since you are controlling two characters instead of just one. Plus, you will be using the joysticks on the screen, instead of tapping or swiping, which is quicker and something that you may be used to doing as this is common in most apps. That being said, moving the characters and allowing them to meet can be slow.

The Good

It’s a free game with good graphics and soothing music. It also has a new take on puzzle games, which is interesting, especially if you are looking for a fresh feature on a game since most apps seem to be the same.

The Bad

The game can be slow since you need to move not only one characters but two. It also doesn’t use the more convenient option of moving or swiping on the screen, but there are two joysticks that you need to control in order to make the characters meet.

The Verdict

If you love puzzle game and you are looking for a fresh take on the genre, Love Engine is a good option for you. It can be a bit slow to move the characters to meet each other, but it has unique features that are not typically present in similar games.
