This is pretty unique! The player can just spam hearts though so it’s a bit unneeded to have the paddle break. Maybe a timer in between each heart-shot could fix it.

About that, player is actually not supposed to spam hearts because there are many tougher bricks to break through next level (hence, player need to balance the size with hearts shooting). But we might take into account about the heart shot timer in the future. Thank you, we enjoyed the lovely game of yours too!
