Thank you very much for playing and the awesome feedback! Glad you liked the mechanic and art style :D
Any thoughts on a better color combination, totally understand what you mean though, the game was definitely more slower paced and not as intense. Three lives would have been a good idea as well, I tried to add lots of checkpoints but I think I struggled to find a good balance there as well. Will keep this in mind next time! Didnt get to finish the hearts implementation, I was going for the collect all achievement! Thanks again for the comment :)
