About 1001 Hugs
- Now you are in Elfland with a special mission to collect Christmas presents throughout 16 levels and bring them to Santa.
- To pass levels you need to open portals; to do that you hug 4 key elves, and in return they get a candy cane.
- But you have only 1001 candy canes. Elves try to stop you by making you lose them before you reach Santa!
It's an adventure with lots of hugs, pitter patter of little feet, laughter and giggles, slamming doors, flying teddy bears, bursting water balloons, and slippery puddles!
New in this version:
+ Game story
+ 11 more beautiful and challenging levels
+ Features map with detailed game rules
+ Multiple achievements
+ Scoring and leaderboard
+ Character customization
+ Player's outfits, hats, teddy bear launchers, and packsacks















This free to play, kid friendly single player TPS requires concentration, teaches hand-eye coordination and memorizing color patterns.
It's made for children, their parents, and anyone who loves action, fun and laughter.
Be silly and enjoy hugs!
Please note: this game still contains collision bugs. We're still working on them.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
I'm playing Steam games in alphabetical order and you can watch my review here: https://youtu.be/1U6B08y_arA Prefer to read? 1001 Hugs is a developers valiant attempt at making a non-violent third-person shooter for children, that ends up being accidentally incredibly uncomfortable by making the central gameplay mechanic revolve around bribing kids with candy in order to hug them. In the process of making a game that parents would want their children to play, they've managed to create a game that children wouldn't want to play. I could go on about how terrible the AI is, how the sprinting makes me feel motion sick, how bland the level design is, but realistically the only thing that needs to be mentioned to steer anyone else away that was still reading after the first sentence is that they added microtransactions for cosmetics.4 found this helpful

INCREDIBLE I LOVE IT SO MUCH IT'S MY FAVORITE GAME EVER1 found this helpful
The game's glitching sometimes, other than WASD there is not response for other keys! And most importantly about the Settings, it does not have any option to get control over the in-game sound!
The game has Steam achievements, but the store page doesn’t properly label it as having achievements, which is frustrating for achievement hunters who rely on Steam’s filters when finding games. It’s especially strange because achievements are actually part of the game, alongside the levels, leaderboard and character customization. If the developer went to the effort of adding achievements, Steam should at least make the game properly discoverable to players looking for them.
Игра '1001 Hugs' — это настоящий глоток свежего воздуха в мире казуальных игр. Ее очарование кроется в простоте и искренности. Идея собрать как можно больше объятий, перемещая милого персонажа по уютным локациям, подкупает с первых минут. Графика здесь не претендует на реализм, но обладает неповторимым шармом: мягкие пастельные тона, забавные анимации и приятная музыка создают атмосферу полного расслабления. Управление интуитивно понятное, так что разобраться сможет даже ребенок. Но не стоит недооценивать глубину: с каждым уровнем игра предлагает новые механики, головоломки и испытания, которые заставят вас немного пошевелить мозгами. Особенно радует отсутствие агрессии и напряжения, присущих многим современным играм. '1001 Hugs' — это про доброту, уют и маленькие радости. Она идеально подходит для того, чтобы отвлечься от суеты, снять стресс и просто получить дозу позитива. Настоятельно рекомендую всем, кто ищет что-то светлое и доброе!
