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

hold [z] near a monster to hug him


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.
