This game's simple yet addicting mechanic made me want to try and try again. The tying of the line similar to how the heartbeat is viewed in a monitor was a nice touch.

I did have an issue when the ball would be all the way up, I could not go down unless I let go of a key.

Overall, a fun game to play.

Automatic restart when you hit a bomb would have been nice and was not a fan of shift, would've preferred space bar as an option, but eventually got through it after multiple deaths. Solid work!

This is a fun mechanic, I love that it is a hearth monitor visually!

I think you fell for the classic gamedev trap: making the game too hard in the beginning. There are some cool levels here, but the first level already is very challenging. I would make it a lot easier and maybe even don’t have bombs in there. Then the player can just focus on getting the hearts first and experiment a bit 😊

Keep it up!

Thanks for your feedback, Sander! Glad you thought it was fun. That's a very helpful point about making the early levels easier!

Pretty challenging and fun. I know you said this was sort of a flappy bird clone, but it didn't feel like it to me. The slight hum though was a little annoying.

Thanks Scubadoo2. Yes, music is not my strong point! I agree it could be improved.

That a really cool take on the flappy bird formula. A lot of fun and surprisingly difficult, but also quite addictive.

I think it would be neat if a level restarts automatically after hitting a bomb or missing a heart (I had to press "R" quite often :D)
