.fla file with source code is included under the game. Just click "No thanks, just take me to the downloads" on the window that appears.

I like the concept, even if it isn't too deep. I'm not sure where the robots go after you hug them to death...

dkoding 2015-04-20 01:13

It's okay I guess. :-)

After I stopped being silly and read the description, I was able to get a score of 420.

The game isn't bad, but it could use more variance; Seems to easy to just sit in one spot and hold the hug key to camp and hug
most if not all of the robots, especially since they stop moving when they collide with the player.

Good concept, but it's not very chalenging

borkleby 2015-04-20 01:31

It's a bit quiet, but I get the humor of it. Even a couple sounds would make this a lot better.

anevilempire 2015-04-20 01:36

I'm not a robot without emotions. I'm not what you see...

Haha brilliant, I get 420 as well... Every time. Coincidence or showing some stoner love?

cgmorton 2015-04-20 01:37

It's interesting that the hug hitbox stays out, plus you can hug multiple at a time. Meaning you can just hold down in the middle and you won't miss any robots.

Robots look good I'll give you that.

ha ha hyper ultra grab, had fun for a little while huggin rbots, but the lack of risk made it get boring quickly for me. Great job on the graphics!

jk5000 2015-04-20 02:05

Good idea, but a bit weird way of controlling the robot.

move127 2015-04-20 02:05

You don't really have to do anything, so it's somewhat boring. The robots looks good, but the background isn't spectacular.

robotic-brain 2015-04-20 02:17

This gets boring without sound pretty quick.
Somehow this reminds me of these zombie slashers you can find online. (Hug-pocalypse)

monkeedude1212 2015-04-20 02:28

No penalty for hugging endlessly, basically just hold down to win. Fit the theme well, got a chuckle out of that acronym. If it were a little more complex, it'd be a funner game.

rantt 2015-04-20 02:38

Neat idea, not very difficult. The robots look cool. Nicely done :)

shixtan 2015-04-20 03:23

It's a fun idea :)

ruka 2015-04-20 06:12

THEY DIE WHEN YOU HUG!!
good idea, but not very challenging tho~

donan 2015-04-20 06:43

Hahaha. Really nice idea :D. The most original one i found so far.

merrak 2015-04-20 06:45

Neat concept :) -- Just needs a bit more variety and challenge.

jhell 2015-04-20 08:10

Hi, well-made, if a little simple. I would have liked some form of a challenge (maybe some hateful "I don't want to be hugged" robots?)

xaedes 2015-04-20 09:16

Very charming idea. The hugs also look very cute, gj!

braindeadgeo 2015-04-20 11:44

I came, I saw, I hugged. Nice idea :)

kassimkot 2015-04-20 14:05

i like the concept. but i could like just hold on the down key and easily hug everyone. needed something that would hinder me from hugging all of the time.

syncxzoz 2015-04-20 15:03

Good!... i like this idea..

philippeander 2015-04-20 15:31

creative, but need to manage the level design

joshyoshkenoshi 2015-04-20 15:39

I like the concept, and the game overall is okay. As others have pointed out, though, you can just stay in the centre of the screen and hold down the down arrow and accrue quite a big score. I got 420 with not much effort. ;)

jacob-eriksson 2015-04-20 15:42

Not so much content, but really fun idea and well implemented. ;D

ershany 2015-04-20 18:07

I like how it suites the theme :D but it is not much of a game :P

sbarrio 2015-04-20 18:10

Well executed. Could've used some sound effects :)

danidk 2015-04-21 05:28

Oh yes.. I loved it, there was something really tranquil in this game. I wish it had sound :)

big-cow 2015-04-21 17:54

Nice take on the theme. The game mechanics could be built on to be more challenging; like others have said, optimal strategy is just to hold the down button constantly.
