Heartbeast by foreverisbetter
Made from scratch within 72 hours this is our first entry to Ludum Dare: a Monster Hugging Simulator!
The story is that like anyone else even a Monster needs some love and affection... or else they get a heart attack!
Our protagonist needs human hugs to cure his condition even though he's a monster and it's hard for him by nature to always express his feelings towards them clearly.
Fortunately for him there's a halloween constume party nearby this evening...
While being pretty hard as I never programmed anything like it before and I had to first think about how to approach anything I wanted to do instead of just doing it I had a blast and I think in the end it turned out pretty amazing.
Unfortunately time was running out before we could add any sounds and I hope I'll be able to add them later on and we will just not being judged in that category.
Made by the awe-inspiring Ellen Driscoll, Nandi Renner and me Daniel Bosselmann.
Thanks for playing :)

I don't know if that's specific to GameMaker, but having to install the game before playing it is a little annoying.
A weird and interesting experience.
overall a good experience!
Good graphics too, the monster looks particularly good.
