Love the zen mood!

Love the mood! I've collected 13 hearts, would something interesting happen if I collect more?

It reminded me hollow knight in movements :) It's something eerie that I can't grasp fully. I managed to get quite a lot of hearts, not sure if there is an end or not.

The echoing voices are also very in theme. Congrats! Screenshot 2025-10-06 alle 10.27.51.png

Very trippy, was on full screen and felt a little lost in the eyes staring back at me. I had fun tho!

thanks for playing! technical note: you can technically keep collecting as many hearts as you feel like. the count is stored between sessions in local storage on your browser so you can return to the game any time and get some more.

is any collection truly complete?

I wasn't ready where hearing the "Nice" in the background haha Great game though

This game made me transcend space and time until I landed back in here to write this, lol. Good game.

very relaxing! gj

Very nice experience. I really liked how the platforming worked and how it wrapped around. All in all very cosy relaxing game with a nice mood and graphics. And quite unique as well. Well done!

Cute idea! It's the first Heart collecting game I saw this LD

Well, this was trippy as hell :D It was a great game, just something weirdly unnerving and calming at the same time was implanted in my brain while playing it. That being said, I loved it, lmao. Great game <3

Very nice! It took me a bit to figure out how everything works, but it was still fun even before knowing what I was doing. I love the audio and visuals, very moody. The gameplay feels great too, well done!

Nice game! I liked the visuals

eugenik 2025-10-09 21:39

Pretty nice game :D.

The graphics and sounds are just fascinating, the gameplay gets boring later, but I think initially there should have been something else. The author is good, a good platformer

Cozy game, I found myself playing it more than I rationally would. Nice ambiance and music. Would be cool to have some achievements or different colored hearts that would encourage you to keep playing. Kudos!

One of those cases where the controls do something weird — and it fits perfectly with what’s happening on screen =) An awesome psychedelic experience, I genuinely enjoyed it. By the way, is it endless?

@avhatar it is endless. i haven't tested what happens if one were to fill the whole room though.

Interesting mechanic. It took me some time to understand, but once I got the hang of it it got pretty "flowy". There were times when, once I picked up the heart, the character became separated and I was controlling both of them at the same time. I don't know if it's on purpose (it felt like it was caused by the heart and character having separate hitboxes), but it made for an original challenge! That being said, I like the combination of photograph backgrounds and hand-drawn game elements. This and the music gave it a very "trippy" atmosphere. Nice!

Very artsy! A bit hard to understand at the beginning, but well excecuted and super calming. Well done!

khaotom 2025-10-11 08:57

@ghettobastler it is! the heart actually has slightly different platforming mechanics, it has a double jump. and theres a secret way to get it to triple jump.

bentglasstube 2025-10-15 14:03

I really enjoyed this one. The music and voice really set the mood well and made it pretty relaxing. The mechanic where you don't die if you fall but you lose the heart was really cool. The artwork also fit the mood very well and reminded me of the game Hylics. Nice work all around.

Nice music and art! Did take a few tries to get what was going on

A really good entry. I liked how relaxing it was with combination of the music and the low frame rate animations.
