Awesome take on the theme!

Submitted

What a unique and charming game! I had lots of fun while playing this. Your project is quite difficult the longer you play, but I love a good challenge. I can definitely see Wand of Life in an arcade!

Submitted

Very challenging!  Simple but very polish. Clean game!!

Submitted

Very challenging little game, the sound design is very similar to Pacman in a certain way. Nice one !

Submitted

very fun and challenging! the extra hearts that appear from time to time are really nice!
the themeing makes for a great premise for the back-and-forth between shootin' and getting hearts!
my highscore is 32!

It's a really cool game. Smooth controls, cool art and sound.

wow, really cool ready game, especially loved the idea and realization. Good job, done even in so short time 24 hours, wow!

Really cool game and idea! I loved the retro / pixelated graphics, and I felt that the health bar shooting was a great feature! I like that there was a mute button as I thought the music was a little bit too loud, overall a very cute and well made game :D

Wow... I love the gameplay and art, very simple but very satisfying! Music pairs along with everything very well too. My one critique is it feels like eventually you get to a certain point where the enemy spawn rate just skyrockets and you can't do much about it. My high score was 51. Overall, very well put together entry!

Very cool retro/arcade game! The fact that your hearts act as your life and your ammos is interesting! high score was 23 lol either I’m not good or the game is harder than it looks :)

I loved the retro style. It felt like an old school arcade game.

Really fun idea.

I think the concept that each shot is a health bar is unique, in addition that you can get your health back after hitting your mark.  This can quickly become an addicting game!

Submitted

The idea is simple but super effective! Plus I loved the clean retro style.
