I got it on my fifth or sixth try (I just got into a pattern of landing 2 or so hearts then run up until after the attack was performed. Took a long time.\r\rAdditionally, found an entertaining bug. If you were holding shift when you lost and kept holding shift, hugs will register on the monster when it walks over you. You can eventually get "Monster Calmed" even though you lost."},{"author_name":"Tipyx","author_uid":"20954","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 11:51am","epoch":1429530360,"text":"Ah ah, the sfx made with the mouth :p.\rTake love TRex ! :3"},{"author_name":"Rulrite","author_uid":"46265","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 12:06pm","epoch":1429531260,"text":"All monsters fall to hugs in the end...\r\rIt's a very cute and simple game! The spinning attack was very hard to dodge; I suppose that comes with practice.

Great animations and so intuitive! The controlls could be better placed but is awsome anyway.\r6 stars for animation!"},{"author_name":"fullmontis","author_uid":"21736","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 1:00pm","epoch":1429534500,"text":"Very cute graphics, animations are lovely, and the concept is really funny :) \r\rIt is very very hard. I've tried for more than 5 minutes now, dying maybe 6 times, but I was never able to calm the beast down. Still, gameplay is very fun and I really like it. \r\rOnly complaint I have is that when the monster turns it is very hard to predict so I end up getting hit. Also, a two hand configuration would feel easier to play with."},{"author_name":"Zo0MER","author_uid":"48042","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 1:01pm","epoch":1429534560,"text":"Very goos idea with cuddling monsters, i love it.

If you can't make progress I don't know what to Impove, perhaps some music and some better and some more sound effects."},{"author_name":"nassi","author_uid":"45156","time":"Apr 25, 2015 @ 1:31pm","epoch":1429968360,"text":"Like others I also had some problems with the bite at first, but after switching to right shift and a two hand setup it went pretty smoothly. The tells were good, but because of my somewhat bad reaction speed I rolled away even before them just to be sure I didn't get hit by that bite.\r\rGreat animations and sfx, some kind of a background track would've been nice (maybe some ambient made by slowing down a sentence by 800% or something :P).\r\rI think it was a good choice to focus on polishing what you had, but of course more monsters wouldn't have hurt. Good job!"},{"author_name":"Pietdagamer","author_uid":"46438","time":"May 8, 2015 @ 12:53pm","epoch":1431089280,"text":"Quite hard, in my opinion, but it's a nice concept and the game looks great."}],"images":["ld32\/25676-c531561304709fc0209b27d802250768.jpg","ld32\/25676-d00ccf8a6a55c5005a3a55eebb3450dc.jpg","ld32\/25676-61fc7062de03b573589453f80eb40258.jpg","ld32\/25676-a55205168e0c688f9300f371179c1710.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/110509866\/Monster%20Hugger.rar","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/110509866\/Monster%20Hugger.rar","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"11468","g_author":"25676","g_event":"LD32","g_eventkey":"27","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"11498","g_title":"Monster Hugger","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"368","g_commentcount":"16","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/444368\/25676-shot0-1429492121.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/444368\/25676-shot1-1429492121.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/444368\/25676-shot2-1429492121.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/444368\/25676-shot3-1429492121.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Ohh no!
