## What is Hugstorm?

A cozy crowd game where nobody gets hurt. Send a storm of tiny helpers through the gates, multiply them into hundreds and hug every grumpy monster until color comes back to the valley.

Hold to pour, slide to aim. Your seed pot pours out a stream of tiny helpers. Pick the right gate and lane, and one helper becomes a hundred in seconds. Every helper that reaches a grumpy monster opens its mitten arms and gives it a hug. The monster cheers up, a flower grows and color comes back to the land.

1,000 levels
Choose your gates, hold your lane and cheer up the bosses. Every boss has a signature move, from a royal belly flop to a big sneeze, and a mark on the ground shows where it will land. Helpers that get bumped tumble back, sit dizzy for a moment and run right back in.

Cute animal friends
Collect cute animals, each one fused with a garden thing, like Lumi, a hedgehog with a lantern. Bring them along, level them up and watch them stroll around your village.

Build a cozy village
Spend the stars you earn to bring your village back to life. Upgrade the hall, the bakery, the workshop, the nursery, the beehive and the wishing well.

Every week
Climb the league, join the race, finish daily quests and collect season pass rewards.

Plays offline
Levels and your village work without wifi or internet. The league, the race and purchases need a connection.

For everyone
Hugstorm is made for all ages and has optional in-app purchases. Chests are earned, never sold, and every item in the shop shows exactly what is inside. Optional reward videos can double a reward. Players under 18 never see personalized ads.

Optional in-app purchases include the Membership, a monthly subscription that renews automatically until you cancel it in your Apple Account settings.
