Soundtrack available on Bandcamp | YouTube

Lucy's heart...!! The cherishing of it. The dreaming of it. The stars will reveal its nature. She sets her heart forth to dance and sing and love among them in the hope it may become one itself.

Release Lucy's heart into the cosmic field so that it may experience wonders beyond our world. Compounding interactions will send Lucy's heart back to her with bountiful value – if she is so courageous to catch its return.

Controls:

Move: Arrow Keys

This game was created in four days for the 2025 GMTK Game Jam.
The jam's theme "Loop" was interpreted in the following ways: 

 • A loop-like figure is completed when Lucy releases her heart,
and catches it on return

 • Points are multiplied the more actions are performed by the heart before catching it again, incentivizing longer loops over shorter ones

 • The player moves in a looping motion bordering the play space

 • Each stage has a hoop that awards bonus points; a hoop is a loop 

 • The cosmic loop of kindness and cruelty claws at itself eternally
