Background

I shamelessly entered LD52 without any prior game dev experience, and so here we are – my first game, Heartvest.

Only had a few small goals:

1. Get used to Godot over a weekend
2. Use one common game design pattern
3. Submit something finished “enough”

Almost gave up on goal 3, but the hours flew by. Had a lot fun and learned a lot :)

*Open to all criticism – please tell me why the RigidBody2D Heart sometimes go through a Tilemap wall/floor.
