It's a cute game, but the graphics kind of hurt my eyes. Too much of a contrast, especially in the underwater level.
Reviews for "Hug Marine"

Fair point! Background fixing is deffo on my to-do list for this.
In the Grim Darkness of the 41st Milennium, we can only give hugs to the xenos...
Very original concept for a sci-fi platformer, good controls. Just feel like there are some elements missing, but it ain't bad at all.
Controls were somewhat unresponsive, but good gameplay and nice pixelated style :D
I to say it but i love this awesome game. Sweet soundtrack. You put in a lot of work for this game. but it is short and the story line is confusing. The creator deserves a big hug for this game.

Thanks! Sorry the story didn't make sense - you're a marine trained to make his way through hostile environments to hug aliens (rather than shoot them, etc).
Good, smooth controls. The artwork wasn't the best but it suited the game well. One thing it lacked, in my opinion, was a little more difficulty. The only hard parts were the mazes of single blocks, which were only really difficult when the screen was shaking. This only made it a little more annoying when you fell off because there was no checkpoints. The controls were good though, so you didn't fall off often. To make it a little more difficult, you should add some more obstacles and more movement of platforms and enemies etc. Things such as moving spikes or enemies that move through a certain path. This game has nothing but walking and jumping, so the only difficulty comes from a need of precision. Without other movement, jumping through courses of single blocks are going to be as hard as it will get. If you continue to make platformers, you should include checkpoints and more animated environments. Another idea would be a more interesting plot. But apart from that, the rest was spot on 5/5.
