Bernie Needs Love
Protomni Multimedia | Released Jan 9, 2013
'Bernie Needs Love' is a simple and lighthearted platformer in which the player must guide Bernie, a nice but anguished old man chased by death, towards his girlfriend, while avoiding the many hazards of a poorly maintained city and collecting blue 'love-enhancing' pills.
The first 5 stages are already available on Kongregate as a preview of what the full game will be. This web-based version will be updated frequently as new levels and features are added and bugs are fixed — so you can rely on being able to enjoy a lot of the game online for free.
For those who wish to own a copy of 'Bernie Needs Love', with all the content of the web version plus many extra levels, enemies and features, there will be a commercial multiplatform version — initially built for Windows, Android, and the Chrome Web Store. Other systems might be added further down the line, so let us know if your favorite platform is not included.

Bernie Needs Love is, in essence, a simple and lighthearted platformer in which the player must guide Bernie, a nice but anguished old man chased by death, towards his girlfriend — while avoiding the many hazards of a poorly maintained yet beautiful city and collecting blue 'love-enhancing' pills to make it an extra-special night!
In a time of eye candy and accessibility over gameplay and personality, Bernie Needs Love truly stands out from the crowd with its charming retro graphics, lovingly composed chiptune music, and hardcore difficulty level — which are sure to satisfy players who grew up in the 8-bit era.
Enjoy Bernie Needs Love and many other great games on Desura.

Hello friends!
We are very glad to let you know the update to version 0.79 is ready and waiting to be approved by the Desura staff!
We are very sorry for taking longer than expected working on this new build, but we really wanted to iron some annoying bugs off, and add some cool new content — including a hidden stage! All in all — even though it seems version 1.0 won't be ready before June — you, our dear supporters, can rest assured we will always do our best to provide you with the most amazing game we can create.
We truly hope you like it!
Thank you all for the support and please let us know if you have any issue or idea!
P.S.: We have some exciting news about the Linux and Android ports. For more details, please stay tuned for a news article in the next few days!
I played the new level. It's really nice but now I'm through with the game again.
Hi Silverhawk85!
Indeed, we wish we could have included more levels in the last update but, like I said, there was a lot to fix and stabilize as well.
We are very glad to know you enjoyed stage 1-9 — thanks for letting us know! Have you found the secret level yet?
Anyway, there should be a news article soon and a new update in the next couple of weeks.
Take care and have fun!
Will there a update coming soon (new Levels)?
Hi Silverhawk85!
I expect to complete the next update this weekend (probably tomorrow) — it's full of bug fixes, and adds two new stages (1-9, and a hidden one).
Unfortunately, it took us longer to comb off the errors we found and to create new content than we expected, and we are very sorry for the delay — as soon as the next update is online, I'll publish a news entry showing a bit of what we have ready for the next stages, the current status of the Linux and Android ports, and a bit of the other projects we've been working on simultaneously.
That said, once more, we are very sorry for the update hiatus of March — our intention is to implement 1-9 this weekend, 1-10 still in April, 2-1 to 2-10 in May, and 3-1 to 3-10 in June. We know that's two months after our initial release date, but we'd rather provide you guys with the best game we can make, as we feel a rushed release would not be respectful to all the support you and the others have been giving us.
Anyway, we're are very excited about version 0.79 and we think you'll be pleasantly surprised when you find its secrets! Until then, you can have some puzzle-solving fun with Meatballphobia, our entry for the clay.io HTML5 competition: Meatballphobia.clay.io
Hey guys ... that great game i loved,is recommended for all who like their games in 8 bit.. Congratulations to the developers
Hi MafiaGamer_Indie!
Thanks for the kind comment! We're very glad to know you are enjoying Bernie Needs Love!
Hi Silverhawk85 — thanks for letting us know! Unfortunately, we need a little more information, because we are not managing to reproduce the bug over here.
During gameplay, there are two ways of leaving the current stage and returning to level selection: you can either die and press 'X' ('B' on the gamepad), or you can finish the level and press 'Z' ('A' on the gamepad). There is also the possibility of pressing 'ESC' ('Back' on the gamepad) anytime to quit the game ('Y' [gamepad 'A'] will confirm you want to exit, 'N' [gamepad 'B'] will cancel and return to the game). In which of those circumstances is the game freezing with you?
That said, it's nice to know you enjoyed the new level!
I'll be expecting your reply.
It froze when I was in a level, didn't finish it, pressed Esc and Y. But now I found the solution. I have to run the game with admin rights. Then everyting works fine. ;)
Thank you once more, Silverhawk85! It's a relief to know everything is working fine now — I guess I should probably add this solution to a troubleshooting section of the readme in case others find the same issue.
By the way, we are already working on the next stages, and should have another update ready next week.
Until then, have fun and take care!
