Loved the heartbeat concept!

The audio lives up to the name of the game :D

the last level "Fight" was frustrating for me, didn't realize I need to stick to the edge near the end

Played from start till end and had fun :)

Haha, we had very similar idea with the heartbeat. I love the fact that so simple objects were used and something playable was created. Good work

For a game that uses the stock unity cube, one maybe two point lights, and a single "heart beat" sound - holy shit, you made something really fun. It wasn't until the loneliness level that I figured out the heart beat lets you know you're getting closer. Fight was really mean man - that level required sheer memorization and that tiny little cube before the final platform was a big FU but I played it over and over until I beat it. I can't give you a lot of stars for graphics but you're getting 5 stars for fun from me.

Thanks for the feedback and I'm glad you had fun with it!

Cool game, especially for how little time you spent on it, the artwork appealed to me, but some of the game play came of as very difficult, could use a bit more light like the others are saying, but cool idea, fun game overall!

I agree, that if it was a bit brighter, it would be *double* fun. It's already that, and maybe you should have gotten this feedback sooner...

Interesting and awesome game concept. I found it a little bit too dark. I guess the knocking background sound helps you somehow to find the right path. You definetly deserved some stars for this nice game.

Thank you for the feedback. After the initial submission we actually thought of re-adapting it to be a fully "blind-friendly" game given most of it's core gameplay is based on auditive hints (that's why you might have found it somewhat dark).

Awesome game it was really interesting

pretty good concept of the closer you get your heartbeat increases, very simplistic but it works just as intended, I couldn't really find myself to go a wrong path either, nice little game for 30 hours :)

Thanks!
