“About Love, Hate & the Other Ones” is a puzzle game in which you influence your surroundings by the force of Hate and the power of Love.
History
Love and Hate first came to live about ten years ago, when Tobi was studying animation and had the idea for the two characters. They gave their debut in an animated short film of roughly one minute length. The short went to international festivals and garnered quite the success, despite its runtime.
Motivated by this, Tobi began prototyping a game called “About Love, Hate & the Other Ones” featuring the two characters. Finally, he developed the first iOS Version of the game, assisted by computer science students from Kassel.
Just like the short film, the characters and the world of Love and Hate found a sizable audience.
Now, in 2023, Black Pants Studio has created a complete remaster of the game, including new graphics and lots of technical improvements.
