When the path ahead seems blocked, draw your own with the stylus for an exciting new kind of touchy-feely platforming gameplay, a perfect fit with the amorous The Chase: Felix Meets Felicity. To fan the flames of desire, Felix and Felicity will have no shortage of help in their romantic race against the clock with impassioned advice from love gurus and in-game power-ups including Time-Freeze, Love-Rush, Newton-Bomb and the explosive Love-Nuke.
