One Heartbeat

One Heartbeat is a submission to the GMTK Game Jam 2019, built by a five-person team around that year's theme: "Only One." The game takes it literally — you're allowed exactly one action per heartbeat, whether that's looking, moving, or shooting.

The result is a tense top-down shooter where the objective — freeing hostages and eliminating terrorists — has to be executed one deliberate beat at a time, turning ordinary shooter reflexes into a rhythm-timing puzzle.

I worked on gameplay programming for the jam build.
