Reviews for "Hug Marine"
Very cute game. I always enjoy original ideas and this was nicely done. I do have a few suggestions for future games. The jump distance is bizzarly large for such close together platforms making a majority of my game time spent waiting for the marine to drop onto the platform like a big line tetris block, this broke the flow of the game some what and platforming is all about flow.
Also although the premise is cute more could have been made of the hugging, maybe an in situ animation, rather than letting us run past them then putting up a picture, or a boss "fight" of some kind where you convince it you're not trying to kill it.
Congrats though on a great game especially as you're just starting out.

Totally agree - I initially wanted a hug button, actually, but my expertise (made this in Stencyl, hence why it's passable) meant that in a time limit of a month I was stuck with collision issues and a lack of knowledge that meant I went for the simpler option. Will put what I've learned here into future projects, and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Fun little game, an interesting subversion of violent reactions to NPCs. Could be more challenging, perhaps by making the hugs themselves require a certain action, but the platforms were simple enough to navigate. Very good, I'll go hug someone now.
failnaut responds:
Yeah, made in a month-long game jam as my first proper game, so I had the limits of time and newbishness against me re: the hugging mechanic's near-absence. Glad you liked it, though!
AW... so cute.
failnaut responds:
Glad you think so!
I like the music for this.. I thought it was cool how it had the same song, but remixed to the theme of the level. Wish I could download them :\
failnaut responds:
You can now! All the music is in my music section (for listening purposes, ofc).
