Here we have a very strange experience that you might or might not share with your boy/girlfriend. The thing about Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is... well, okay, the first thing is that its name is ridiculous and rad. But the second thing is you might not remember your play session if your host is generous enough with his - bourbon, was it? I don't remember.

Anyways, Lovers is a couch co-op game wherein you and a friend (or AI if you don't have friends [available]) control various parts of ridiculously spherical spaceship(s!) and destroy the anti-love that is green and has escaped its confines, now wreaking havoc upon the universe's previous exclusive force: love. It's from Canada and has a silly synthpop soundtrack. Play it!
