Take Heart

Take Heart is a rhythm-based game that challenges your reflexes and coordination. Inspired by the theme "Take Heart" for Hyper 1 Hour Game Jam 76, this game was created as part of an experiment to see what could be built using AI tools in just one hour.

Test your skills by clicking on the hearts as they fall, keeping pace with a rapidly increasing heartbeat. Starting from 50 BPM and racing up to 200 BPM, every moment counts!

Gameplay Features:

• Quick Reflexes Required: Time your clicks with the heartbeat. Miss a heart, and you lose a life!
• 5 Lives: Start with 5 lives. Can you keep up with the heart-pounding tempo before they’re gone?
• Dynamic Heartbeat: Experience the beat speeding up from 50 BPM to 200 BPM in just 3 minutes.
• Score System: Track how many hearts you successfully hit and aim for a high score.
• Game Over Screen: View your final score, BPM, and time remaining with a "Try Again" option to keep pushing your limits!

Created with AI:

As part of this project, Take Heart was developed using AI tools to handle everything from code to visuals, with a retro-styled, pixelated beating heart as the central visual. The game is part of an experiment to explore what AI can achieve in a short period of time.

Visuals & Sound:

Retro, pixel art visuals bring a nostalgic charm, while a dynamic generated heartbeat sound accompanies your gameplay to heighten the intensity.
