Use your heart by dick-claus

made by dick-claus for LD 44 (COMPO)

You are running away from zombies. The only way you can survive to use your heart.

Game is a little bit short as didn't have time to add more levels and fix bugs. Please, listen to theme song even if you finish game faster.

Controls: Mouse and buttons on screen

Neat idea! I would love to see more levels designed for this. Definitely a solid concept to build on.

Neat concept, I hope you expand on this idea because I think more levels with more zombies and stuff could be very cool.

Idea can be expanded and the core gameplay really fits even a mobile game with different control scheme.
There are some bugs but they're not game breaking.

Polish is ok

Theme is fitted at a standard level.

Thanks for your time spent in this work!

Found pathing slightly unintuitive (preference for northeast before northwest; I got there eventually, but a dotted line overlay would be a very big QoL improvement for this UI approach). Would love to have a couple more levels to explore the concept.

Even if it's doesn't match the theme super well, i think the concept is really cool and could be expanded upon a lot if you added more levels

wish there were more levels, this is quite a nice idea and made think it would have been perhaps cool to do a game about lizards that let go of their tail to escape predators ... I like that it is turn based and in future this can become quite a good puzzle game

You could try to fix the overlaping sounds, and add a vfx/sfx to when the user dorps a heart on the ground, i didn't notice it droped and i did that twice before i attempt to move towards the exit.

What a cool idea! Liked the turn based approach. Would have loved to play more levels. But looks like you had the same problem as me (my game also has only 2 levels). Nice graphics and the music really ROCKS. Great job :D

That's a pretty sweet idea! Would love to see more levels.
