Judge the hearts of the dead on the scale of Ma'at, the Egyptian goddess of order.

HISTORICAL NOTE: In Egyptian myth, the hearts balanced with the scale in order to pass into the afterlife. However, for gameplay purposes, the heart will always be unbalanced, going up for a good heart and down for a bad heart.

CHANGELOG: - v0.2: Fixed lose cutscene triggering twice when judging a heart after losing.

Played it on PC and as you said, it will probably be a better experience on a mobile. I think this can be solved by a simple left/right key bind for PC version.
I liked the game!

Nicely implemented, but I think the audio was a bit too harsh and tinny, I had to turn down my volume. Highscore: 6050 i think (clicked through the end screen too fast i think)

Short and simple mobile game with a cool theme. I like the Egyptian myth influence! I'm unsure of how an idea like this could be expanded, but imo the base gameplay is fine. You could add visual gimmicks around misleading the player; maybe add some things that could distract me from reading the scale correctly? Or misleading-looking hearts that look big but weigh the opposite, etc.

Also, I couldn't get the v0.2 version to work. It wouldn't let me press on the left and right sides when I was actually in the game. v0.1 works fine though.

@kantanloop Aaah! Sorry about that, I totally just mistyped the extra line I added to fix the bug! It's fixed now, but honestly it shouldn't be that big of a deal, the bug was pretty tiny.

Interesting game, would love to have a tutorial. I included it in my Ludum Dare 49 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/T1tx-BQwhE0
