I'm certainly not well enough coordinated for this game, but that being said, its very cute and very well made. Its a relaxing little game (even if i can never get those damn high hearts >:( )
Like others have mentioned, the only thing that bats against the game at the moment is the little desync bug. But I'm sure thats an easy fix, so my ratings weren't at all influenced by it :)
I honestly don't have much critique to give, its a very good game. Would work really well as a mobile with either swipe controls, or just two different buttons, up & down.

Some updated art, a little more juice, and some more reasons to play (highscore? collecting coins as well?), and it would be a pretty complete little casual game!

Really loved the simple concept and elegant gameplay combination, pretty relaxing while also being challenging! Great art, great gameplay Great work! :)

reeeeally cool idea and great aesthetic. I think ironing out the mechanic and having some in-game teaching would be great.

Nice gameplay idea. Sadly it bugs after a while, so you can't reach the hearts. It's phased. But really lovely. Sound also really relaxing.

Love your artwork and music. But it took me a while to understand the mechanism. And  after several minutes playing, the ball just easily miss the heart.

I did indeed notice that the game sadly shipped with a bug (as it's supposed to in a game jam :') ). After testing it the game is still playable, and in endless it's even possible to survive with everything going out of sync as an additional challenge ;).
I appreciate the feedback and will upload a fix for the sync issue once that's allowed again. Thanks for playing!
