General

Gameplay

The First Stage is Explosive Love, where the player must parkour on TNT blocks, which is very similar to room 3 of Mineco. The Second Stage is Hitting the Books, where the player must run through a small library. Stage Three is called Flaming With Love, where the player must parkour over a lava pit where the chance of burning to death is very high. Stage Four is called Bridges Of Love, where the player must parkour on ladders and small bridges sticking out from the walls. Stage 5 is called JUMP! For my love! This stage is where the player takes a leap of faith to click the end sign on a love heart, where if they fall, they must restart the map completely.

Aesthetics

Valentine uses a block palette where lots of it is very similar to Mineco, the map also uses lots of red colours, such as red wool, red terracotta, TNT, red carpets to reinforce the image of love. In the second stage, the characters in the libraries body are created out of red wool blocks. Again, this is represented by a lava floor in the third stage, the fourth stages roses and the giant love heart for valentines day at the start and end of the map.

Challenges

This map is featured in six challenges: 2016 Assortment, Mineco Madness, Sweetheart, TULIP, The Path of Heroes, and Hexa.
