Aaargh! by schnerble
Kevin the Monster is misunderstood. He just wants to be everybody's friend, but unfortunately he's a green blob with scary teeth and horns.
You can help Kevin make friends with policeman and civilians...
... or you can just act like a monster and scare them all away.
Be naughty, or be nice. This game doesn't judge.
Controls
========
Walk: Arrow keys
Hug: Control (hold for a while)
Shout: Space (hold for a bigger shout)
You'll need to be right behind someone to hug them, or just close by to scare them with a shout. You can't hug or scare anyone who's chasing you, though.
(It's not very obvious when you've grabbed someone to hug them, sorry - post-compo version, maybe! - but note that they always say something when you successfully grab them)
You can hide behind walls and plants to give yourself a chance to sneak up. You can also move the plants to make things easier.

PS: poor Kevin.
Looks really cool, I dig the idea, as someone else mentioned the UI could definitely see improvement, other than that and a little bit sketchy graphics this is a very well rounded submission :)
Some problems with the behavior of the "NPCs".
But maybe without this the game could be very hard.
Good work on the music too!
Solid game.
the menu's cut is great!
