Hello lexaloflle BBS !
---v1.0
This the 48h compo version ! Including growling bear :3
---v0.2
Now with sounds :) And better gameplay + Fx
---v0.1
First of all, thank you a lot to Joseph, this lonely 48H LD session sounds like teamwork thanks to him !
So here's my first version of Hug Arena. I still have 20h to work on it, but not so much chars left.
No sounds in game, I just spent 1-2 hours last night to design music but I'm totally unsatisfied so I will have to make another music session today...
Instructions
- Hug those monsters until they become your friend.
- You're vulnerable when you hug stuff
- Friends will heal you if you are close enough
- A level full of friends is a completed level
- Earn 1 of 3 perks at the end of levels 1-3-6-10-15
Control
arrow to move
hold [z] near a monster to hug him
I would like to update the game version but I'm not really sure how to do it. Do I have to create another thread ? Should I edit the thread text and insert the p8.png as an image ?
One of my favorites from LD32. Thanks Benjamin!

Move Hug Arena thread out of the WIP section into the finished Carts section because it's awesome :3?
Also hseiken (and anyone else who doesn't get it), bump into the pink enemies you converted for them to spew little love hearts at you, that'll fill you up right quick, plus they'll block any incoming shots for you.
Wooow this game is hard,,, I like it a lot though.
I feel like this would be less irritating if you could get love from allies just by being in close proximity, because sometimes they're randomly running in a direction that happens to be away from you so you aren't bumping into them and you can't get any love until they turn around. >_<
Great game!
I made a release for LD #32, but it was crappy and not finished...
Hey there, I think I found a glitch. At the end of the second level, I went to hug the shooter and I died. However, the game split, where it spawned the powerups and started the next level, but it also thought that I was on the second level. I kinda expected the game to break a lot more than it did. Nice game!
Hi @benjamin_soule I can't find the voxatron version to comment there. I found a bug: The upgrades get further and further apart no matter if the game over is reached and a new one starts. To alleviate this I have to reset the cartridge every time.
@benjamin_soule I just found this game and it's great!
One day I would love to turn this into a little bartop arcade machine! I wish there was background music though.
I find it so tricky and vexing to dash in right when they shoot, because you don't teleport.
I returned to this game a week ago because I realized I never beat it before. Still haven't beat it, but I am determined to get it. I've made it to level 18 so far.
What are the names of all the creatures? I'm calling them bears, pots, omnipots, chargers, Aubreys, and Terminators.
