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...

  • You're vulnerable when you hug stuff

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 ?

you just have to replace the number of the cartridge

Super idea and amazing production values !

Gah, love doesn't increase fast enough...is there something risky we can do to make it go up faster?

P#16030 2015-10-30 13:15 ( Edited 2015-10-30 17:15)

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...

P#16693 2015-11-16 10:56 ( Edited 2015-11-16 15:56)

awesome!

P#16755 2015-11-18 21:51 ( Edited 2015-11-19 02:51)

This game increased my love meter. I like how the monsters come running when you're hugging one of them... like "What d'ya think you're doin'... get off him...". Ha. Great music and sfx too!

P#19627 2016-04-06 13:59 ( Edited 2016-04-06 17:59)

This game rocks!

Really neat if you add a random level selector, which I did and is one of the reasons I love the PICO8 platform :)

P#25802 2016-07-24 01:41 ( Edited 2016-07-24 05:41)

Excellent game, I really enjoy the character and concept. Gameplay rocks to boot!

I just realised I never commented on this classic!

Really love the way how the arena shooter was simpified, really clever controls and mechanics.

One of my favourite BS games, alongside Mistigri <3

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!

P#42419 2017-07-12 21:52 ( Edited 2017-07-13 01:52)

Think you made an update - totally broke it - the easy guys now shoot... no fun, and the shooting guys can shoot after you've begun the hug... no matter how I time it I get hit... extra no fun!

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.

P#70621 2019-12-05 20:52

Very interesting!I like it:)

P#77455 2020-05-31 16:22

What happened to the voxatron version? I can't find it

P#93722 2021-06-19 03:58

@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.

murder by hugs
u choked him too hard

P#104915 2022-01-12 19:48

hugs are love

P#110892 2022-04-26 16:30

Its a great game, but I always preferred the Voxatron version. That had much more charm.

P#110894 2022-04-26 16:56

I find it so tricky and vexing to dash in right when they shoot, because you don't teleport.

P#112266 2022-05-25 15:54

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.
