[raw]
made by vidarn for Ludum Dare 46 (JAM)

Mimmi is a litte creature that has lost her friend. Being so small, mimmi's heart beats very fast and she needs to eat often to survive. Help her find her friend, but make sure she does not run out of nutrients before getting there.

Tiny heart is a puzzle game where you must find the best route through the levels without mimmi running out of any of the nutrients that she needs. There are three types of nutrients and eating different flowers will replenish their supply. The icons at the top of the screen represent the nutrients and running out of either one will make mimmi faint.

Use the arrow keys (or wasd, zqsd or hjkl) to move. Press r to restart a level.

Really cute game! The aesthetics were on point and the mechanic worked really well. The last level took me a few tries, but I got there. Good work!

Lovely game, Great graphic, Outstanding mechanic and Lightweight...
Couldn't ask for more :smile:
A little bit of audio was going to be the cherry on top.
Keep up the good work! :smiley:

Adorable game, nice ideas ! The puzzles were really interesting, and once you fail you can immediatly retry to find a better path, so the gameplay is perfect. I loved the progression in the difficulty and the fact that only one path seem to be correct (for the last levels at least) ! I would have loved to simply jump around with my weird friend on the last scene where we are reunited. Really great work, with some music it would have been perfect

Cute game! A good puzzle too, but I don't see the theme much.

Nice idea for a puzzle game. I find resource management is often boring, but I think using it as a twist on a grid-move puzzle worked really well. Good job!

The game plays very fluidly, being very easy to learn, understand, and enjoy (something quite hard to achieve in a jam). The amount of stages is just right as well.

The only thing I missed was a relaxing soundtrack to accompany Mimmi's quest =)

Perfectly executed puzzle game with wonderful painterly graphics. The details are great, like how the tiles slowly shift up and down.
