Lots of charm - nice music and credits song! Game could maybe do with a bit more going on...

It was good. Very simple and ordinary, but works thoroughly. Functional graphics, functional audio. I'm having a tough time coming with substantive feedback, since it worked pretty much the way I expected.
Perhaps an expanded version would have monster abilities, or civilians and enemies with various effects on the player, battlefield, and each other?
Good job.

We need more love ! ;)

Hugs all around! I won on easy ;).
Powerups would be fun! And a ten minute CG cutscene at the end of me and my baby escaping to the swamps. ;)

Yeah! I found love on the Easy and the normal mode. The hard mode was indeed hard. :)
Nice and simple little game.

Took me a few tries before I could complete it on normal. Got a bit boring by the end though. Sometimes it just seems unfairly hard to avoid all the lasers.

Nice job with the voice acting, It was a cool intro to the story.
The music, sound effects and art gave a really cute atmosphere. That was a nice twist on the theme, literal monster, but heart of gold.
Great job!

Enjoyed the game overall; music was nice but didn't seem to loop as well as I'd like.
I would have really liked to have a dash or some other way to move around to catch the faster things running from me.

Thanks for the feedback. It's a JAM entry, so I felt free to add a Jump-Ability.

First off I loved the hand drawn graphics. A nice Game with good music :D

Pretty fun little game! I loved the intro poem.

MrDave24 Aug 2015, 17:24
First off I have to say I enjoyed the story part. I would have loved to have more after winning/losing.
I’m so pleased I clicked on the credits!

daveh24 Aug 2015, 20:37
Loved your voice-over. I really liked the mechanic of spending score to jump, makes for a nice trade-off when cornered. My skills let me down on Story and Hard, but at least I found love on Easy and Medium. ;-)

vividhelix24 Aug 2015, 22:46
I found love. I win :) Loved the premise of the game, who doesn't like a hug? I just wished I could hug the guy with the gun...

HACKhalo224 Aug 2015, 23:23
I enjoyed hugging all the little humans until I found my lover, it was fun

Integershift24 Aug 2015, 23:56
All I wanted was a hug...
Great game had fun playing. Only thing is I didn't notice my score/health for a while.

I like the humorous tone of the art, and the concept is clever.

A fairly simple but moving game exploring time-honored themes of death and love, in this case, both at once.

Vaida25 Aug 2015, 07:52
The idea and the voice-acting were hilarious! The game in itself is not overly complicated, but I liked the idea of "hugging" people and the trade-off between jumping/the score. I also liked the graphic style; nice! :)
Acerio25 Aug 2015, 10:16
I need a hug after that. I almost cried on hard mode XD Awesome game. :)

Shaw25 Aug 2015, 11:42
I found love, that's what I call an achievement. Well done. Game is cute and music is bouncy.

hexagore25 Aug 2015, 20:16
I enjoyed the voice work and loved the music. The game itself seems like it was about the right length for me, too.
Jani Nykänen26 Aug 2015, 14:32
Hahhah, I loved the music!
nassi26 Aug 2015, 16:43
For me the easy mode felt the hardest, mainly because I couldn't see anything due to the background :P. Beat it on normal though. The voice acted story was a definitive bonus.
pansapiens27 Aug 2015, 08:27
I liked the funny music, but the volume seemed inconsistent. Probably one of those usual HTML5 audio issues.






Epic game! I won on Easy, but Hard is pretty insane! :D I laughed a lot. Thanks :)
