Heart Attack
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
A prototype for a tower defense game / sound toy.
v2 allows only one unit per tile, which I think opens up a few more interesting spatial and musical interactions.
Controls:
- Right-click drag to pan
- Scroll to zoom
- Left-click to buy, place, and pick up units (you can always pick up and re-place existing units)
- Esc to open menu
For testing/experimentation:
- Press Space to toggle the heart shockwave shape
- Press I on the title screen to start with increased money and health
Note: This is not even remotely balanced as a tower defense game. It's generally very easy once you know what each unit does (just don't buy two blue units at the start).

Install instructions
If playing on Mac, you may need to run the following commands in Terminal after unzipping the download and navigating to the folder containing the app.
sudo chmod -R 777 HeartAttack.app
sudo spctl --master-disable
The first one sets the correct file permissions on the app, and the second disables Gatekeeper.
You can reenable Gatekeeper with:
sudo spctl --master-enable
