My first thought when playing this game.
Man... I'm SHOCKED. That was so simple... yet so CLEAN. And I really felt it man! You guys might say I'm tripping but I do really feel like this was a great representation of relationships.
If you try to rush to the hearts at full speed, your spikes are gonna destroy them... and they'll become your opponent. That's the same in real life. If you come too strong on a girl, even if she was interested at first, you'll turn her down real quick. And if you keep pushing with that same energy, you might actually start to bother her... and then she'll be indeed your opponent. You can also look at this the same as an ex after a bad break-up. She'll try her best to get under your skin if she was hurt by you (example: you cheated on her).
Instead, you have to slowly move towards the hearts while looking out for the spiky ball to keep them safe. But still, you're game is pretty tragic man. Even tho you're trying to keep a reasonable distance, the hearts do try to get closer as well, which doesn't help. No matter how much you struggle, your going to destroy the hearts at some point and get a Game Over. There's no happy ending in your game, that's sad dude! :')
I don't even know if you though about that whole thing that far X) but that's how I felt when I played it. You REALLY did got me in my feelings man... X)
That was beautiful. Nice work man... :')
