The Hugging Ring
The Hugging Ring is a cute, turn-based hugging competition where the goal is to increase your opponent’s HP (Hug Power) to maximum! By spending your HP, you can use a variety of moves with different effects. Some moves will increase your opponent’s HP, while others will increase the crowd’s Audience Power! When the Audience Power meter gets filled, the player who maxed out the meter will get more HP, so be careful how often you hype up the crowd!
Did your opponent fill up your HP first? Don’t give up! If you’re struggling to be the hugging champion, you will get a boost to your stats for games after losses. Keep trying, and soon you will be the hugging champion! And remember: everybody wins in a hugging competition!

This has to be the most wholesome turn-based battle ever! Very cute idea and implementation. And the soundtrack is also really fun. Out of the three very sweet characters, Caramel Cat has to be my favorite!
hey Ducky, you might not remember but you offered me a place on your team when I was trying to get team matched at the start of the jam. I promised I'd check out your game after, so here i am.
