Looks great, wish I could play it on Mac

I actually really like the mechanic behind this game, although I think more could be done to make it "feel" better. Other than the theme tie-in being a little forced, I thought this was pretty solid. Nice work!

Very nice action mechanics. Pretty fun to play, even though I totally sucked. Definitely took some getting used to.

interesting game, i liked it. (my only criticism, is what'd you do to make the game 180 megs?)

Solid jumpy gameplay, but I think that you might have been a bit close to the project difficulty-wise.

Game is very hard to playe and it depends what random give you. Addictive :)

Very difficult, but fun to play. One of the only games I've seen made in Gamemaker that is actually good. Well done!

Nice game. I like the mechanics, as there is this constant drive to get hearts. But by doing so you create problems for yourself. And then the energy bar adds so much more on top of that.

Great job!

Really good and simple idea!

My favorite game of LD33 so far. All of the mechanics just feed so nicely into each other.

It's all about collecting hearts, then the hearts turn into enemies, but you need them to advance and even to kill those same buggers, and then you jump a few too many times and you're out. Brilliant!

It is exactly the kind of quick thinking reaction driven balancing act that I like. The third level is a killer though. Hot damn!

A few non gameplay related issues:
- The graphics are crude. Many people only look at the icon and screenshots when deciding whether to play or not (even more so in a real marketplace).
- No web build. That's the second hurdle for many potentials players.
- 170 megs is way too much for such a simple game. Did you use uncompressed audio? I'm genuinely curious. Surely it's not just Gamemaker being daft.

Make as good a game next time, while pay attention to these technical issues and you'll have solid gold in your hands.

Very nice project guys, i really love it, please check our game too and if you liked it give us a vote. Look for Road to hell and enjoy.

Neat game, I think it could of used a menu and restart screen but it plays well and is fun. Nice non-distracting audio too.

So many broken hearts </3 Interesting little game :)
