The sound effects are <3

The sound is HILARIOUS and truly unconventional. There's so much hugging and loving going on! The controls are simple and effective and the level design works. Fun little concept, I hope you keep working on it!

I liked concept of your unconventional weapon, after the boss it felt like it needed more different content.

rofl, made me laugh. sound effects were great too. nice work.

cryotube 2015-04-20 05:11

Really love the sound bytes, really makes this game unique. interesting hug mechanic but could use a bit more explaining.

braindeadgeo 2015-04-20 05:36

Nice wee game! As with the other comments I'm loving the sound effects!

akokich 2015-04-20 05:39

HUGS!

Cool game, sound effects are great. Also nice theme integration.

resty 2015-04-20 07:27

lovely idea, just collected everyone before leaving!

thumbgarden 2015-04-20 17:49

fun top down shooter but with hugs and love.

cogcomp 2015-04-20 18:50

HUGS! So simple but still so much fun!

pixzleone 2015-04-20 18:51

Could have been some music and more sounds, and maybe another font for the GUI, but overall good. Good job!

scorched 2015-04-20 18:54

Looks like "teeth collector" game)

joshyoshkenoshi 2015-04-20 18:58

I really like your take on the theme, and thought that overall your game was really sweet! The console threw up a few errors about a missing prefab in the second boss battle, though... Also, it took me quite a while to work out how hugs worked. Still, very enjoyable. :)

Fun and simple game. Kinda easy when you can just click and fire as many times as you want.

davidcmcdonald 2015-04-21 00:34

Hilarious audio and smart concept

kihira 2015-04-21 00:38

Fun little game. The sound effects made me giggle.

xwarzonex 2015-04-21 01:26

I liked the game, solid and enjoyable. But I would have given a max to how many hearts you could shoot, cuz all I had to do was spam.

anokta 2015-04-21 01:26

hahaha this is 'lovely'!! and kudos for the sound effects as everyone already mentioned. :)

ewchap 2015-04-21 03:55

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Fanttum/xWarZonex, I agree. I wanted to actually cap the distance of the hearts range to make it more difficult and force you to use the friend hugs shot more. ran out of time as I am sure you all understand.

davikin92 2015-04-21 07:20

Hugs! Hugs! Thanks! Hehe, I'll remember those words all day, they keep sounding in my head! The sound effects work really tightly with the concept, and will make your game hard to forget. You can make the levels more detailed graphically so it looks even more appealing.

Like many others, you used the "throw people" concept, but doing it with love and hugs is what makes it pretty original.

swizzcheez 2015-04-21 12:36

Great idea and application of the theme.

manicminer 2015-04-21 12:43

What I like about this game is that it has a really SOLID feel - a lot of LD games are a bit wobbly on their feet, but this one just feels well made. Nice job.

Sound effects were adorable and very funny

seconddimension 2015-04-21 19:20

Sound effects were funny, the boss fights were pretty fun and mixed things up a bit

liamlime 2015-04-21 23:32

"Hug requires friends" D:

I like it, the sprites, as simple as they are, are adorable. How they rotate to look at you is adorable :D

tommyboys0107 2015-04-22 03:24

Sound effect is so humorous :)
The concept is great!

firaa 2015-04-22 04:41

This was pretty amusing. It's pretty easy with unlimited range love waves, but as far as love 'em ups go, this is pretty good.

pushmepullyu 2015-04-22 04:54

HUGS!

diegoescalante 2015-04-22 04:56

The gameplay was simple, but those sounds put me in such a happy mood. Nice job!

tortoise 2015-04-22 17:50

Good use of theme. I liked the amount of levels and how you had to defeat the bosses, my only complaint is the variety in the levels was low, liked the sounds and overall gameplay.

kitsubi 2015-04-23 02:06

I really liked the use of the converted enemies as projectiles (hugs) to convert more enemies. Truly interesting.

srakowski 2015-04-24 03:02

Love the sound effect, and game play was really challenging and fun. Well done!

aeveis 2015-04-24 04:37

liked sending out friends for hugs. Sometimes the hugs didn't work though. The bosses were interesting. It looked like friends got stuck inside or something and they also double when hitting a red part? very strange, but eventually the whole thing would turn. Maybe a love bar (hp bar)? nice job!

plasmaernst 2015-04-26 23:02

Ha, funny sounds :D
