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.

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 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!

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. ;-)

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...

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.

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! :)

I found love, that's what I call an achievement. Well done. Game is cute and music is bouncy.

I enjoyed the voice work and loved the music. The game itself seems like it was about the right length for me, too.

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.

I liked the funny music, but the volume seemed inconsistent. Probably one of those usual HTML5 audio issues.
