I totally did, and it was totally worth it.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>This is exactly what I was hoping people would do with this theme.  Something that took the theme and said &quot;wait, what if you AREN'T the monster??&quot;\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The gameplay itself was fun if for no other reason that I could just run over all of the obstacles in my way to hug my precious squishy human friends.  I wish there was a way to run faster, like a sprint or something, as the humans (although dumb) could easily run away.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The sound effects were perfect, and the elevator music fit the venue.  Which I think was an office space?  Maybe a hotel?  Both?  I'm not really sure.  \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Overall, I thought it was great!"},{"author_name":"bitsandcrafts","author_uid":"51721","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 12:33am","epoch":1440462480,"text":"&lt;3"},{"author_name":"CrazyMinnowStudio","author_uid":"56101","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 1:52am","epoch":1440467220,"text":"I must say, the graphics are absolutely adorable!!! This is a great start to a game! The concept is cute, even though it involves people bursting, but i like it!  I'm not sure how long I could play the game as it currently is. I felt my ADHD pulling me away as i got to the 20th hug.  If you continue to develop (which i hope you do!) making the number of hugs shorter or the obstacles more challenging will make the game more appealing to those that get easily distracted.  I wish I could hear the music.  There was a rumbling sound that overpowered the music.  Huzzah and great job!"},{"author_name":"Ninja Garage","author_uid":"55778","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 3:52am","epoch":1440474420,"text":"Just amazing!! I loved to see what you've done here!!!!!!!!!1!!!

I love the sound effects, especially when the monster runs. There was a slightly annoying controller issue on my Mac, but I don't know if it would be universal -- when I had an arrow pushed and I was hugging at the same time (control button + arrow), it would flip out of the game to my other open windows. It's a Mac keyboard shortcut."},{"author_name":"UltraRat","author_uid":"27370","time":"Aug 26, 2015 @ 10:10am","epoch":1440583500,"text":"I love the hugging sound. \r<br\/>(On windows at least) the controls are reversed if you hit I for info.

You really want to hug everyone you see. The problem is that you are a monster and people tend to run away from you. You need to sneak up on them to be able to hug them.

You get really sad for a moment, until you spot another human to hug.\r\n\r\nHow to beat the game: Hug all humans to death!\r\n\r\n--- Important ---\r\nOnce you grab a human, keep the hug button pressed to crush them.\r\n\r\nWe had a great time making Hugs and it will be very interesting to hear what you guys think of it.\r\n\r\nSpecial thanks to our friend Markus Kothe for creating the music and ambient sounds <3","title":"Hugs"}
