Haaaaaaard !! but pretty !

This honestly reminded me of the old 8-bit cartridge game Balloon Man. Nice concept.
The gravity was a bit too strong though making it hard to shoot and float at the same time but maybe that's just me.
Just a few suggestions.
You can increase the number of small hearts that need to pass through for the health bar to completely go down and also reduce the speed at which the small hearts float up so player has more time to play and collect score.
You can also add floating power ups that restore a bit of the health, temporarily trigger auto shooting or auto floating for the player.
Overall it's a nice and challenging gameplay with cute art that matches the theme. It has potential so keep it up.
I love a challenging arcade-style game, and this is exactly that! Great job, especially considering if this was your first time using Picotron
This one is tough!
I like the look of the game, its simple but it obviously well done with a font that matches the pixel art and lovely colors. Same for the 8-bit sounds, simple, but fitting.
The floating movement was difficult, and I guess the crux of the game! A bit embarrassed to admit my highschore after quite a few efforts was 11.
The shooting is even harder than the movement! lol because your bullet is so smol u need perfect aim. I think the bullet could afford to be bigger x3? I ended up just jumping around.
Overall though... cute game, If i could add one thing Id have the heart character have different facial expressions for when he does stufff.
thank you, this is great feedback!
Genuinely not sure what to do in the game, the hearts seem to neither damage you nor give you health, yet my health slowly drops off regardless of if I hit them or avoid them, I can shoot but at what. The game feels like a random collection of mechanics thrown into a bag without any of them actually working together.
