Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is a video game developed by Asteroid Base for Microsoft Windows, OS X, PlayStation 4, Linux, and Xbox One. The project is part of the ID@Xbox program. The game's title is a reference to the Bruce Cockburn song "Lovers in a Dangerous Time".

Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime became free to members on Xbox Live Gold in February 2017 and to members on PS Plus in April 2017

The game can be played alone or with two to four players. The players pilot a spaceship with a variety of stations located inside it. These stations control the ship's weapons, engine, shield, Yamato cannon, and map. Each player controls only a single avatar (as well as commanding the AI pet in single-player mode), and thus must constantly move from station to station in order to balance flying the ship, protecting it from damage, and attacking enemies. During the course of gameplay, gift boxes can be discovered which may contain gems. These gems can be attached to the stations, giving them new, enhanced powers.

The game consists of four campaigns; each contain four levels and a boss fight. The goal of the regular levels is to find and rescue an assortment of captured creatures including bunnies, frogs, foxes, and ducks. After capturing five such creatures in a level, a heart-shaped portal to the next level is unlocked and the players may enter it to complete the level. A few levels feature an alternative gameplay mode in which a special engine is attached to the ship which the players must protect as it warps the ship to a new area. Up to ten creatures may be rescued per level. Creatures saved count towards improving the effectiveness of the ship by allowing two gems per station, or unlocking new ship layouts.

Designer Matt Hammill described the development of Lovers as "almost an accident" having wanted to create a game for a game jam that "was supposed to be this small three-day thing". However, after the jam was over the development team wanted to continue on with the concept. The team sought to avoid "default gunmetal, chrome, cyberpunk textured-look." with Hammill stating that they've " all OD’d on it". Instead the team focused on a brighter aesthetic based on such sources as Sailor Moon and Katamari Damacy. Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime was showcased in July 2013 at PAX Prime. The game was released for Microsoft Windows, OS X, Linux, and Xbox One on September 9, 2015.

By 2016, the developers added 4-player co-op on top of the original 2-player co-op mode.


There are six different unlock-able ships: Gumball Zero, Banana Split, Jelly Roll, Gumball P, Gumball B, and Gumball M.

Ships can be unlocked throughout the game by collecting points for saving animals on each level.

There are three types of gems: Power Gem, Beam Gem, and Metal Gem.

Each gem can be used as an additional power-up to add to each station (Shield, Engine, Weapons, and the Yamato Cannon). Each station can hold up to two different gems, which can be applied successively to create a combined power-up. Thus, each station has a normal version, three single-gem versions, and six double-gem versions. Gems can be collected by shooting or running into stationary boxes with question marks that are found on every map.
