This was a game done for the 2013 Manila Game Jam held at the Mondragon House bldg. Makati city. Please visit the game's Global Game Jam page.:)
"Beat my Heart: Your Heart is Your Own Worst Enemy" is a platformer in which you play a robot which needs to find all the keys in each level while balancing the 'beat' of its heart. Depending on whether its heart beats fast or slow the robot can do certain feats like avoid bats or jump over cliffs.
Mechanics:
1) Use your middle and index finger to tap the z and z keys alternately like walking to balance the gauge
2) Use the forward and backward directional keys to move, and Up to jump.
3) Staying too long in the low or high heart ranges will result in your character passing out or getting a heart attack.
4) Blue pills will allow your character to stay in the low heart range without passing out while the red one allows your character to stay in the high range without getting a heart attack.
5) A faster heart allows you to move faster and jump higher while a slower heart rate makes you move slower but makes you stealthy.
We just made the game in under 48 hours so there might be some bugs in the game.
