I love the idea of the game, and the art style is great. I couldn't figure out what timing it was trying to get me to do on the first monster, or if there was a specific way to hug it I was supposed to do. I tried from behind, getting underneath and trying to time the monster landing with the hug animation, rushing in when it landed etc. but I have no idea if I was on the right track or not, just guessing a million times and always getting it wrong. Not sure what kind of feedback would work here, could just simply be that I'm not the target audience.
The second monster I did get, which felt nice :) and then the 3rd I kept bonking my head on the platforming and couldn't get across lol def some skills missing on my end.
