Hello there! This is my contest submission, a small mini game called ā€œHeartBreaker.ā€
Break as many hearts as you can before the one minute timer runs out. Click anything that isn’t a heart and you lose a life. Lose three lives and it’s game over.
At the end, you’ll see a recap of how many hearts you broke, plus a sentence that changes based on your score.
All visuals were made in Illustrator and finished in Rive. I used Rive’s AI agent to help build a modular particle system that adapts to different artboard sizes and ramps up in speed and chaos as time runs out.
It’s a simple game, but a lot of fun to make. Hope you enjoy it now go break some hearts!

Thank you so much ✨ I wanted to add even more chaos with the explosion animations but didn't have enough time. There will be definitely a more chaotic upgrade soon 🤣

I think using the Rive AI agent for the particle system was a smart move here. 🧠 Making particles adapt to different artboard sizes is usually a headache, so automating that logic is clever. Good luck with the contest!
Ana's avatar
Thank you! Yes! I think I could not have done without the Ai agent unless I worked one extra week on it XD

Absolutely. Leveraging the right tools to cut down that timeline is a skill in itself. The execution looks seamless. 🫔

You should take from Wii Play targets game. If you shoot the same type, you get bonus points but if you shoot a different type, it ends the streak. They also have high value gold one fly through from time to time.

Valentine’s energy unlocked. Fast, chaotic, and strangely satisfying. Love how the pressure builds as time runs out.

Been a gamer since the age of 5 but haven't seen anything like this before. This is a great concept for an indie game; It's somewhat funny and can be a great time killer. Best of luck for your idea.

Thank you so much for your feedback!!! I already killed some time with it myself! 🤣 It is rather simple and straight forward to play but it does get tricky at some point which I like. I think I will still add a few more layers of complexity though just for fun 😊
Aizaz's avatar
PS: This game reminded me of someone who played this irl with me 🤣
Love the concept, bring it to Play Store. This will be a banger.
