Reviews for "Hug Marine"
An absolutely adorable game my friend! I first saw it a minute ago and I was like cool! I do agree with LordJacor on maybe naming it hug ninja based on the character's design and running style, but it was great. We should see if the military would adopt these type of 'special tactics.' A little short, but then again I love short games and platformers! It was very cute how the music went with each scene. Sometimes it was almost like the beat was the character's jumps, and I had fun timing them up together. My only concern was the background be a little to mild, but then again that's not was you intended to do, was it? Also, this is just me but while playing the background made my eyes go a little cross-eyed! XD No worries though, I'll screw them back in straight! Loved the game and I hope to see more~

Yeah, the background does tend to futz with people's vision - made me feel sick during a recent test, actually, so I may have to patch that soon. Glad you liked it!
I love this game.
failnaut responds:
Thank you! Happy to hear it!
Loved the game. Only issue I had is that the character's running style very much reminded me of a ninja from one of those Japanese movies... his arms are flung behind him as he runs. This game should have been titled "Hug Ninja". Seems more appropriate for the character's look. But then, I suppose that would make it less space-ish.
failnaut responds:
You're very right! The idea is that he's in a suit, and it just seemed cute to have his arms flail behind him - inspired by a certain Super Meat Boy, if memory serves.
Ninjas can totally rock it in space - it's totally silent out there!
I can't pin down exactly why, but I really enjoyed this. It stands out from all the other platformers in such a good way. Loved it.
failnaut responds:
I'm glad you did - I think the lack of DIEDIEDIE mechanics might help with the standing out, but I'm happy to hear that it did.
