I saw this game advertised on the home page, and, while I know you're not supposed to judge a game by its cover art... I totally did, and it was totally worth it.

This is exactly what I was hoping people would do with this theme. Something that took the theme and said "wait, what if you AREN'T the monster??"

The gameplay itself was fun if for no other reason that I could just run over all of the obstacles in my way to hug my precious squishy human friends. I wish there was a way to run faster, like a sprint or something, as the humans (although dumb) could easily run away.

The sound effects were perfect, and the elevator music fit the venue. Which I think was an office space? Maybe a hotel? Both? I'm not really sure.

Overall, I thought it was great!

I must say, the graphics are absolutely adorable!!! This is a great start to a game! The concept is cute, even though it involves people bursting, but i like it! I'm not sure how long I could play the game as it currently is. I felt my ADHD pulling me away as i got to the 20th hug. If you continue to develop (which i hope you do!) making the number of hugs shorter or the obstacles more challenging will make the game more appealing to those that get easily distracted. I wish I could hear the music. There was a rumbling sound that overpowered the music. Huzzah and great job!

Hilarious... I love the sound effects, especially when the monster runs. There was a slightly annoying controller issue on my Mac, but I don't know if it would be universal -- when I had an arrow pushed and I was hugging at the same time (control button + arrow), it would flip out of the game to my other open windows. It's a Mac keyboard shortcut.

I love the hugging sound.
(On windows at least) the controls are reversed if you hit I for info. It's ctrl for hug and alt for run.

Amazing artstyle and simple but very funny gameplay.

kidando 2015-08-30 11:54

Great graphics. I realized later that you have to press and hold to hug "effectively" B-). Solid Entry

Very good graphics and well realized gameplay. Good work overall.

should probably throw up some taller colliders on the walls in case some crazy person decides to build a ramp out of debris and escape the levels confines... or use it as a mechanic for exploration / advancement

Got 29/30 hugs, I didn't find the last one. Very fun game and nice graphics. Audio is cool too, I love when the monster runs ^^

Love it. Very simple, but running around hugging people to death is just awesome.

Hug collisions seemed a bit of at times, but who cares! So much fun! Like that you made so many models for all the people. Did I see a ninja?

judasbenhur 2015-09-14 08:21

Hey fellow comrade! I liked your game! :D
Graphics were pretty neat, the humorous sounds were make me laugh, the monster was just 'hugable'! :D

Loved it!
Who was that ninja in the office? :P i ran after him to hug him, is he a thief or something?
good job!

This is just great! :D This goes straight on my list of best games. :)
I'm sorry I couldn't judge audio, but I can't make noise right now... :/
