One True Cuddle

One True Cuddle is a top-down platformer in which you play as Punny, a rabbit kidnapped by aliens for an experiment. You gain mystical alien powers to make your way back to Lanny, your owner, while avoiding obstacles and pursuing your One True Cuddle.

Stages and abilities

Stages include four types:

• Survival: stay uncuddled until the time runs out.
• Rush: clear the stage as quickly as possible.
• Puzzle: solve the puzzle and reach the goal.
• Area Boss: defeat every enemy in the room.

You clear stages, collect stars and reach different endings based on your total. Punny can stomp on certain enemies to stun and damage them. Each boss you defeat grants a special genetic form that you can transform into; each gene gives you different abilities to disrupt enemies.

Characters

Punny is a speedy rabbit who is careful around strangers and skilled at stomping. Lanny is Punny’s kind and caring owner. The aliens and other beings encountered during the experiment include:

• Choco: an alien cat who is the first to greet Punny. She is fascinated by cute things and gets brainwashed into hugging them aggressively.
• Buboo: an alien who gobbles things when hungry, but spits out anything it will not eat rather than digesting it.
• Mumu: a curious alien dog who wants to experiment on whatever catches her attention. Her vision is very narrow, so she only runs after Punny when nearby, but she is extraordinarily fast.
• Rabbot: a robot programmed to hunt rabbits. Its intelligence system makes it tell lame jokes, sometimes in a combo. It fires a laser beam that trips rabbits; the beam ignores height, so jumping does not avoid it.
• Sirum: a slime made of bizarre things that can somehow speak. It periodically divides, or divides after being stunned, while retaining one personality across its many parts. It cannot be stomped.
• Biorny: a smart, often sleepy alien frog who acts like the leader of the place. She can run and jump to catch Punny and can move over water.
• Piria: one of three fairy stooges. She is kind to all living beings and uses her power to support Punny.
• Lucia: one of the three fairy stooges. She obeys her leader and uses her power to support Punny’s pursuers rather than getting directly involved herself.
• Tania: one of the three fairy stooges. She likes tricks and uses her power to disrupt Punny, curious about what happens if Punny loses.

Two other characters are unidentified. One claims to be a Space Spirit as an alias for the usual term “alien”; the other uses a sword to cuddle Punny.
