About this game

Hero's Heart is Everett Kaser's logic puzzle game. Each board combines hearts, exits and objects such as boulders, balloons, arrows and moving creatures. The world advances when you take a turn, so careful planning matters more than fast reflexes.

Use the arrow keys to move and Space to wait. Collect the hearts while watching which objects will move next; blue hearts must first be turned red by a Creeper. Enter restarts the current puzzle. H opens the original illustrated help, and N or P selects another puzzle. At first launch, enter a player name and press Enter, then close the introductory help with Esc.

This is the 1.31 shareware revision dated March 9, 1994. Its EKS puzzle set displays 25 levels. The original program, manual, ordering information and complete source archive are retained. It is supplied for evaluation under the original terms; the expanded Hero Gold release and a registration are not included. Historical ordering information is preserved as documentation.
