Heartpounder is a fast, casual, addictive arcade game based on the phases of puppy love. Think Pachinko with a cute attitude. A friendly 2d physics engine gives players a fun and predictable feel to their shots.This responsive action meshed perfectly with the theme acted out by the emoji hearts — the targets of your bullets and your love.
Pieces with Personality
Heartpounder’s immediate appeal came from the reactive pieces. Rather than a block breaking game with plain gems, our little emoji hearts show some personality.
Drama & Humor
Heart Pounder was a hit with The N’s tween/teen players, giving them a fun puzzle game that was a little dramatic and funny at the same time.
Planned Chaos
Heart Pounder included dozens of levels and challenges, ranging from precisely aimed shots to cathartic chain reactions.
