Heartbeat

The goal of the game is to bring your heart to it's destination, north of the starting location

Made in 48 hours for the GMKT game jam of 2021! 

~Theme: Joined together~

Gameplay:

Carry your heart and bring it to it's destination to win the game. On the way there, protect it from the incoming horde of phantoms and destroy their portals. Put down your heart to be able to fight. Stay close to it and shoot your enemies with your plasma blaster, or keep some distance to enter Wrath mode. In Wrath mode, your attacks deal devastating damage to everything around you.

Tip: Destroying a portal will kill all phantoms that spawned from it.

Controls:

-Use the mouse to aim and left click to shoot.

-In Wrath mode, left click to use your special attack

-WASD or arrow keys to move

-Hold spacebar to carry your heart

Using headphones is advised, as some of the sound effects may get lost over speakers

We really enjoyed working on this game jam. It was the first time we worked together on one, and Iestyns first jam! We planned on adding animations, health bars for the portals, in-game instructions etc.  but just didn't have the time. 

Hopefully you have fun playing this game!
