... or maybe just send some missiles and blast your neighbour!
In Universal Love you control a planet inside a solar system, where others planets like yours coexist. You can either send them love, which will boost up their vitality or you can crush them with missiles in order to destroy them.
But be careful, because they can do the same thing to you!
You need to receive love to grow stronger. The higher your health gauge goes the more love/missiles you will be able to send.
Other planets will react to your actions, if you love them they will probably love you back and if you attack them they will surely retaliate, so you have to plan your strategy carefully in order to achieve the stage goal.
- CONTROLS -
LEFT/RIGHT KEYS - choose attack/love and target.
SPACE KEY- confirm selection.
ESC KEY - cancel selection.

You need to receive love to gain health. When your health is over a certain level your level will go up and so will the amount of hearts/missiles you will be able to fire at once :)
Also, if your health level drops your level will also go down!
Love the political play this game encourages, I love the simple mechanic forming such an emergent gameplay of bluffing.
Dissapointed there was no end game, the newb nebula just kind of continued when I'd killed everything, so just had to quit. But still a great little game!
There was more strategy to it than I thought at first! I won the affection of my neighboring planets to fuel me a lifeline of hearts so that I could crush another planet. But then we both kinda sat there and he wouldn't love me or attack me.
Awesome game, nice graphics! I found it a bit too easy at the end (both planets are very close to victory and you can just wait until the other planet sends you love to win). Otherwise, great game.
That one really cool idea. Got through every scenario and it was a lot of fun. I like how I can destroy missiles by love just coliding them, especially when they are on different routes. And I really wonder how did you get the idea to make a game about love in space
First game I have played to completion, because it was fun and functioned 100%. I love this simple concept with love vs rockets and the mentality in it, would be fun as a party game with people and AI in same game.
I made a game about love and planets and was curious if this was similar. I started without reading instructions and was pleasantly surprised. I like how you the use of tacics is involved. original game, this
I've been playing it for the last 15 minutes, a good game here. A sure way to win is to send love to all planets, get to level 3 and turn your enemy in an asteroid belt with x5 missiles. I would like to see a little more challenge here but it's a trivial matter of balance. Overall, a top entry, congrats on it.
Great idea! Reminds me of board games, when there is love at the beginning until people takes sides and missiles fly everywhere :D Good graphics and mechanic.
But those damned Metroids stopped giving love as soon as Corneria was lost. Then I couldn't win that scenario, which required complete love saturation.
Interesting idea , I think you could develop it further, add more gameplay ,etc... I win by only sending love more or less at random I don't need to attack :D
Buen trabajo! Love beats missiles. Nicely balanced mechanics, though when I achieved the goals set for my scenario nothing happened. Great job with HaxeFlixel, I though you were going to use Unity judging by what you wrote on the blog. Keep it up!
Some times you get a kiss, sometimes you take missile to the face. It's great that such complex idea was exposed in such easy-to-understand game. It's nice that game provides 4 different scenarios - gives a clear target to the player.
Next time communists attack I will send those evil bastards 5 tons of love!
I really like the graphics, reminds me somehow of the game Megalomania. The game also has a nice strategic layer hiding beneath simple gameplay. Great entry :)

But then two of them started a fight, but they still both love me... So how do i win? What are the winning conditions?
The winning conditions vary on the scenario. They appear on the top left corner of the screen right when the scenario begins.
For example, on Newb Nebula you must obtain full Health to win.
On BodyGuard Cluster you must protect Monen adn defeat WoodStoick 69 to win.
I don't have time now but I'll try to make the scenario objective more easy to see on future fixes.
Thanks a lot for your feedback!
Thanks!
No... i mean: Love is stronger than war!
I like the idea !
But, how can we level up ? I'm still blocked at level 2 >.>
Also, if your health level drops your level will also go down!

Really neat game, cool use of the theme!
I like how you the use of tacics is involved.
original game, this
Nice work! :D

Glad you liked the game anyway! :)
Which scenario did you have problems on?
Next time communists attack I will send those evil bastards 5 tons of love!
