An abysmal platformer with totally unresponsive controls getting on your nerves, pathetic level design and a terribad poem. This is by far the worst platformer I've ever played - and I've played lots! Knyszekanimated, you should never make games and your friend should never write. I mostly play without logging in, but now I felt I just had to log in and comment on this terrible game.
Reviews for "Heart++"
You inspired me to write this as a reply.
It's not good by my standards, but it gets the message across. After reading that my brain shut down for awhile. The last stanza, as I fear this may be wasted on a fool's ears, refers to three poets you really, and I mean really, need to look into.
As for the game. The three was for the concept of playing a game to read a poem. I got to about level 16 I think before I got bored of it. The only reason I went that far is because I wanted to read the entire poem without %uFEFF in it. God help me, I don't know why I wanted to read any further than that, but I did. Then i called my brother to ask him to read it so i knew someone else in this world suffered as I did.
On a last note. Yes, I did write this poem to slander yours. But in the process of insulting you I had fun. I decided I hated you much less and ask that you see the advice that the poem gives as well.
Oh I guess I didn't give it a title yet... Ah, I know....
Why Do My Eyes Bleed Oh Lord!
Your words and tactics are shapeless and base
Like the cold biting wind that scathed my face
The satyrs cry and stop their dancing
The demons in hell cease their snarling and gnashing
Cereberus, terrible shield of Hades, whimpers and whines
Gods, beautiful and everlasting, now see through but mortal eyes
In perhaps your naivete
You did not know you wrote our doomsday
Your prose is no less than agony
The rhyming scheme wails for consistency
All who can read may die at the sight of your wicked writ
Your mother shrieks as the rapture bears her away, "Look at what you did!"
There is a gentle rapping at your chamber door
It is the raven begging you write, "Nevermore"
Robert Frost fled, his family and friends forsaken
He ran away not caring what road was less taken
Dante kept secret the last circle of his inferno
Reserved for those whose writing no one should ever know

Hmmmm... Well first ill thank you for a useless review... I did not find a single thing that might just have helped me or my friend (writer). You're basically telling us that we're horrible at game design/writing, then (at least for the writing) tell us to never write again. You just successfully gave us destructive criticism with your main purpose to demotivate us. I would be less annoyed right now if instead of writing a poem about how much you think we suck, you could have given us some reasons and some criticism that actually helps. Its just wrong man. I feel like i have just been trolled in a sophisticated way.
just letting you know
you still have bugs in this game
Knyszekanimated responds:
It would be nice if you could tell me what they were... could you PM me with the stuff?
nice
i like ur questions and the game
Finally finished. Now for the review...
Looking at the game with the poem: A beautiful representation of how hard it is to reach ones true goal of love whilst overcoming any obstacles that life throws at you. Doing anything and everything to reach love until you are within its grasp (BTW, i'm no poet laureate so if the message of the poem isn't that, then please forgive me).
Looking at the game without the poem: Something I want to beat up with a stick. The game isn't too bad until you get to the part where you must make pin-point jumps. And the character slides when landing. Sometimes there wasn't any room to jump! Nit-picking aside, there was good level design and the music complemented the theme that is Valentine's Day.
Overall, nice game, decent platformer and great poem.
