Hey everyone! Time for another round of updates — this one’s all about bringing more life (and danger!) to the HUD.
The health HUD just got some serious personality!
Ripped Heart Effect – whenever you take damage, the heart that was lost now visually “rips off” the player and falls away with a little spin before fading out.
Low Health Warning – when you’re down to your last half-heart, that heart now continuously pulses and flashes . It’s an extra bit of tension that makes it very clear you’re on your last legs.
These tweaks add more polish to the game.
The HUD feels more alive, giving immediate, visceral feedback when you’re hurt. Losing a heart isn’t just a number change anymore — it feels like you lost something.
And if you’re clinging on with that final half-heart, you’ll definitely know it.
