Here is a list of places to find hearts out in the wild. Hearts give us a moment to stop and smile. Hearts give us a moment of hope. Hearts give us faith in humanity or at least for the premise of it. Hearts give us a place to regroup and ground. Hearts give us an opportunity to shift perspective just for a moment. A moment is all that is needed to shift attention somewhere else. Hearts are those coins we grab as we progress through the level. Count up the hearts and finish off every level with a bang!
Let’s go hunting. One heart at a time.
