Life Down
Avoid hearts and get hit by bombs to WIN!
You only get to the next level if your lives reach 0.
When you move to the next level, the difficulty rises, and you will meet new types of hearts that will make your journey harder:
- Red hearts: normal hearts that increase your lives by 1
- Green hearts: same as red hearts but they stay longer before disappearing
- Blue hearts: same as red hearts but their vertical speed is faster
- Purple hearts: same as red hearts but their horizontal speed is faster

I am DEFINITELY no good at this game, but I love the concept. Basically turning the usual game on its head. I just wish I was better at getting the bombs and avoiding the hearts (a sentence I never thought I'd type in real life).
Hey man, I did my full 10-minute review during my Twitch Stream last night (twitch.tv/aaknox), but I'm going to summarize what I said during my review:
Art: Everything was drawn great. But the almost-one tone color of everything is red, so all those details are lost because of that. I would definitely suggest that you choose different color for the walls to stand out better.
Animations and Controls: Controls were very simple, which is I love. However, the animations need some revision. If the player starts in idle, then it should be a still frame instead of a mid-stride frame. The pickup UI looks neat though.
Sounds and Music: The sounds are awesome, guys! No complaints there.
Overall gameplay: The base concept for the game works for the theme. However, the level design is formatted for like a mobile game instead of a web browser game. Overall, once you guys find a great balance curve for the game, this will be a very good game.
Hope this review helps your team grow!
Thanks! That was a detailed and accurate review. I agree with you on most of the drawbacks you mentioned, which were largely caused by the limited amount of time we had to eork on this game.
I am definitely going to keep on eye on your twitch streams.
I think you should balance the game difficulty because right now it's quite too hard and it introduce frustration but otherwise it's a great game, i think it fit well the mobile game format
Thanks for your feedback! I updated the game and adjusted the difficulty and added music and sound effects. I would be delighted if you try it again and tell me your opinion.
Definitely picked up like 50 red hearts before giving the description another look :P
Got pretty fun after all the heart types where happening in the same level. Sometimes the bombs or hearts got caught on the edge of the map while falling.
Hahaha. I fixed the bug you mentioned and made few changes on the game. Feel free to play it again and have fun!
