After you do a couple of diamonds, you meet several questions. It seems that you should answer the questions right or you will die. Here is no save so I don't want to give questions area a try.

Super interesting game, it features a few simple gimmicks/enemies and uses them throughout in strange ways. The game is super unorthodox, there's a random car chase minigame in the middle, the final boss is super weird, and the aesthetic and general platforming is pretty random without any rhyme or reason. Despite this, I think almost everything here is quite good, and makes for one of the strangest and most fascinating fangames I've ever seen! Definitely worth looking into.

This review is based on a clear of everything in the game EXCEPT for EX Big Kid, as it is humanly unreasonable
LoveTrap is a game that speaks for itself, and at the same time says so little by itself. It's very basic on the surface, but everyone knows at this point that this one fangame has inspired a large portion of fangames from a variety of different makers, especially in the eastern community. It popularized Hatsune Miku as a boss fight, and made avoidance fights in general a common thing. The rooms are iconic, the traps are iconic, and the bosses are iconic. But beyond that, there's an actually GAME here, one that often gets overlooked, so let's look at it.
The game is divided into two halves at the start, route A and route B. If you head to the right from start, you get to play the water stage and cherry circle stage. The water stage is relatively unremarkable, but it gives me an excuse to talk about how good the traps in this game are. They are basic, but Nekoron can really bust out some super advanced mind games to trick you, it's the perfect example of doing a lot with limited resources. The cherry circle stage honestly holds up by modern standards, it's just a really cool and fun stage with creative stuff. The other route has the world's first bad apple stage, which is a treat to see, and the buttons stage, which is probably my second favorite. It's clever, and has super interesting platforming for 2010 that again, holds up today.
Now when we get to bosses is where LoveTrap gets interesting. Most of the bosses aren't a huge deal, there's the big cherry which I believe is the first ever use of a massive cherry as a boss, and Cirno and Dango is a nice meme, but the main points of interest are Miku and Big Kid. To start with Miku, I honestly think it's fine for a first avoidance. It's somewhat fun, and while horribly unbalanced, can be really funny at times because how stupid it is. Once you clear both routes, you can access boss rush, which contains buffed versions of every fight. One of these is Long Miku, which most people hate, but being truly honest, I don't. Now don't get it twisted, I don't think it's good, and I don't like it, but I also do not dislike it, to me it's a perfect 5/10. It's definitely slow and maybe a bit boring, but super overhated imo. It's a major roadblock for sure, but by the time you see what's next, you'll have easily forgotten about her.
If you beat boss rush, you get access to Big Kid. I like Big Kid, however this might be the most brutal boss I've ever played. It's deceptively simple, basically just one attack through the whole fight that gets harder as you deal damage, but the complexities within this boss are absolutely insane. There's so many factors to consider that are very difficult to factor in when doing reads. It's hard to explain in a review, but the combination of bouncing fruit, double shots, non-refreshing water, 4 way bullets that increase in speed, and invincibility frames create a completely heinous team of brutal deaths and insurmountable challenge. It's one of the hardest bosses ever made to this day, and will forever stay that way. I think the complexities make it fun, but it will really push your limits of what you can handle.
Big Kid is the any% clear, but beyond that there are secrets and extra. The secrets are cute, they are way harder than the normal platforming but sometimes have a cool idea, like the polyrythmic circles in the cherry circle stage, or the mouse click button in the buttons stage. If you collect them all you get EX Stage, which is a romp through all the stages in the game. It's not super interesting, but it's fine enough, nothing bad or even close to bad. The final thing in the game is EX Big Kid which is actually just humanly unreasonable, inhuman reaction time and planning required for a clear, so obviously I didn't do it.
It's very interesting to play this game, to see it's influence throughout the fangame community even now, and see how infamous it's hardest challenges are in a world where Last TIS, Debut, and many more hard avoidances have been cleared. To me LoveTrap is one of the best old adventure games at the time, it shows how clever and creative Nekoron is, and it's easy to see how it inspired so much today. Not everyone is gonna appreciate what it is, but I think it's earned respect. It may be a bit dated on the outside, but on the inside, LoveTrap will always be timeless.

Adventure game with decent concepts but some mild annoyances, for example I found the first stage quite boring, it's just super basic and interesting to me. The second and third stages are a lot better for sure, particularly the second one, although nothing I'm super passionate about. It's just pretty alright adventure gameplay, with a few gimmicks and traps. There's also two bosses, the first one is not really good, and second one is alright. Overall I just found this game decently good, but it lacked anything special to make it a favorite.
