Katie Martin and Barry Abrams are like many other couples. They met, fell in love, got a dog, bought a house, and now they are getting married. However, this gamer couple went the extra mile to create an original side-scrolling video game to let their friends know about their upcoming nuptials.

The game, entitled "Save the Date: Katie & Barry are getting married", is a cute and fun little side-scroller that you can play here. Playing as Katie or Barry, you must save your better half from an evil robot, while platforming through three wedding-themed levels and a boss fight. In the cutscenes, you even learn a little bit about some of the experiences that helped bond them together -- including waiting together for four hours to buy a Wii. Fer cute. We wish them many years of happiness.

That's pretty awesome.

Aww that's so cute!

There are no words for how cool this is. Freakin cute and fun. I'd love to have something like this for me one day...

That's awesome! They are very lucky to have each other. Oh, and the evil robot in the picture reminds me of the monster from the old school SkiFree game.

You know you have a good wedding when Abraham Lincoln shows up. (Far right side)

And that just set the new gold standard for "informative wedding announcements". Extremely awesome and fun idea!
by Adventuring Alberto Thursday, December 20, 2012 at 08:07 PM

What a great idea! Also, what is with "fer cute"?
by DeadBull Thursday, December 20, 2012 at 10:05 PM

I'm good at platformers but awful at that game.
by Chris May Thursday, December 20, 2012 at 10:08 PM

Awesome they used my news tip!

In other news, the stresses of game development have driven the couple to an early divorce.

I want cake. Hope they have some happy years indeed.

This is insanely cool. Each level tells a part of the story of their relationship, and they're guided through it by their dog. If you collect all the hearts in each level you get a secret level that is based on something that happened to them. Really neat, original, and personal idea. Good luck to them.
by ZERØ Friday, December 21, 2012 at 03:20 PM

Is that awesome or what?
by sastgamer Friday, December 21, 2012 at 05:43 PM

awesome
by John Wrek Sunday, December 23, 2012 at 07:45 AM

I'm going to have to take on this idea as well eventually...
by wickemic Wednesday, December 26, 2012 at 06:40 PM

Didn't unlock the super secret level but it was pretty cool. Jumping was a tad floaty, but overall pretty impressive!
