Henry lives his life, makes decisions and does things. But you're not Henry. You're his Heart!

Hit heartbeats in time, keep health indicators in range, and affect Henry - all with one button!

Made for GMTK Game Jam 2023 in 48 hours. Theme: Roles Reversed


If you struggle with in-game tutorial, there are some tips:

Press [space] to beat a heart

Synchronize with Henry's heartbeat to obtain control

When synching, ONLY hit on the beat. You need 4 in a row, black heart means you're back to 0

Continue beating to keep health indicators in range

Hitting space increases oxygen, holding space increases pressure

Physical activity drains oxygen faster, eating food drains pressure

Double tap space to make Henry pet the nearest dog (if there's any!)

Collecting dogs to your house makes Henry's heart greater!


A lot of things not completed or included because of time limit

That's such a good idea! I love how you showed connection between oxygen and blood pressure. its fun to keep it in balance! Interesting how his heart will behave if he fall in love =D

Falling in love was in the list of ideas from the very beginning :) You would help Henry choose the right lady. Unfortunately couldn't add it in 48 hours

Hehe) Cool idea!  You did well! Great 48 hours of work <3
