This was a lovely game and an interesting take on the theme! I really loved the music, and the game mechanics felt good to play.

Fun little game. It made me laugh when the birds turned up with a bomb.

Very interesting idea with a lot of potential.

Despite the chill music if found it quite stressful  (in a good way). It reminded me a little bit of Mini-Metro in this regard :)

The mechanics are simple and fun to play with. Music gives a good vibe. Nice entry!

Cute! The music works well with the gameplay, and it's clear you put a lot of thought into the different obstacles. I think you did a great job picking a screen capture for the game icon too -- very intriguing!

Is shooing away birds the only way to collect more pulse energy to make more hearts? That was a bit I was confused with, since it seemed I had to wait until a bird landed and was holding on to a pulse energy circle before I shooed it to ever collect more energy.

this is so great!! what a cool interpretation of the theme and interesting game mechanics. i had a lot of fun trying to place hearts and connect them and keep them safe. a lot of potential here if you wanted to develop it further!

The game mechanics are interesting, I liked the lo-fi background music you chose for the game.  A score system or timed sessions would be a nice addition to the game. Also, it would be nice if there was a sound/visual effect when new enemies enter the screen, as a feedback to the player.
