hearthbeat
you control a spaceship with a job of continually keeping the hearth alive by firing energy into it. unfortunately to avoid the risk of catching any infections the hearth is surrounded by shields which you'll have to carefully avoid to keep the hearth charged. the hearth dies after 7 seconds of not being charged and the less amount of time you have to charge the hearth the faster you move! (less time means more stress). this is my first game jam I partook in and I really enjoyed myself! this game was created for the jam during the weekdays with around 5 hours of work. its a quick project in construct as I am trying to get into the game design mood and return to unity after a long hiatus. as an additional challenge I forced myself to draw the whole game in MS paint (i usually draw pixel art cause that doesn't require a drawing pad). any comments and plays are really appreciated!

Its got a great design! Almost reminds me of super hexagon... played for 10 mins and didnt find any bugs!
It's a great design, the design is fairly simple and the sounds are great!
I would suggest updating the UI to make it more clear what's your score, how much time you have, and whatever that third number is for... that and there's a steep learning curve, but it's not so bad once you get used to the controls.
i understand and agree. the ui is explained when you begin the game but its probably on screen for a short amount of time. and with the controls i couldn't figure out an easier way to control the spaceship so i went with this. thanks for the ideas and thanks for playing!
its a great game for a first game jam! well done dood! and the game even fits the theme nice
and the sounds are great too!
