The idea of the game is simple but rather fun. It's a bit too easy for me I think, I had to stop pressing the arrows to see what would happen when you lose hearts.

Adding sound would add a ton to the game, especially little sound effects as you play. I think adding some element of progression or some end goal would improve the game even further.
