The one game I saved for last, and it did not disappoint. The art style is charming (Sorry for the accidental play on words) the audio is wonderful, and the gameplay is straight up fun (played as hugs)
I also admire how it doesn't seem to borrow any assets, and every part of the game was handcrafted by the devs
Can really tell some care went into this, it's one of the 5/5's this jam for me. Amazing work

Ha! Who would've thought you can make a beat 'em up with this theme!
The game is fantastic! I was hyped seeing all the updates on Discord! And it is very well made with the art that has lots of details! Did I spy a Banski in there?
My only gripe is the kiss is too slow. I wish it was a bit zippy. You should launch this on Steam :D

Tic Tac ToeSuch amazing work! Really great spritework and music, and super fun character designs! Kisses was especially fun; felt really, REALLY satisfying having those attacks hit. Gameplay wise, Hugs' kicks felt a little less novel, but his sprite and energy were so great that I still loved playing as him. So many cute little touches like the graffiti. Thank you so much for sharing---it was a blast!

Revel and Bask Go On A Date!Awesome!!! I really enjoyed all of this a lot. Music and sound design were great! Art was really nice too. The gameplay itself was solid, though very bare bones. You still managed to pull off the classic side scrolling beat em up so well. Blow Kissing a barricade to pieces was peak retro silliness! Really fun.
