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

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!

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 :)

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

sometimes then u get hit next level monsters show up but old ones not disappear

The Snuggler ! The videogame.

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!

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.

Very interesting!I like it:）

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

@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.

Killing with love

murder by hugs
u choked him too hard

hugs are love

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

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.
