Checked this game out since my start point was very similar! Cool use of the camera shake :)
I also recently started gamedev, so a newbie question - how'd you do the heart beat animation? Did you just paint the individual frames? I like the style :)
Thank you for taking your time to play and comment on my game.
Yes i first painted a static heart image then i would would duplicate the layer one step erase the blood,paint new blood etc for each frame 24times in Krita.
There has to be a better way though, maybe the transform tool or move brush.
I animated only the inside of the shape so that i would not have to draw a unique collision shape for each frame of the animation in Godot.
