Hack 'n' Slash Tips: tons of hearts

[Chrimbus]

I should have taken advantage of this when I had the chance. I can't remember where it was that I found the queenSpriteGaveHearts artifact, but had I known she gives you actual HEART PIECES I would have jumped on this earlier on.

Visit the Queen Sprite and set the artifact to false to get 10 heart pieces. You can keep changing the value to false and she will keep giving you more and more pieces. I made it up to 147/147. I'm sure it keeps going, feel free to go further.

Hearts and health in this game are there as a joke, this is not a combat game. at all.

There were a few parts in the game where having more hearts would have helped me.

I took advantage of it to the tune of 257 hearts.
I don't think I ever had less than about 240 hearts at any point after that, so I probably didn't really need that many.

later on u can search lives or so and edit them

Back when it was a demo to show to interviewers, there was an artifact that was called something like max_Health (you can find a mention of it in a scene that activates when you open a chest in one of the EGW levels, but you can't acquire it). It allowed you to directly change your maximum health value. I think Brandon showed that you could easily make it some astronomical value (e.g., 1 e+17). Yes, the hearts are more of a joke. This is a puzzle game, not an action/adventure.

yeah [spolier]the hearts are indeed a joke... there were a few times, like fighting the turtle boss, and the level when you are dodging those fireballs... it was REAL annoying to have to go back to the checkpoint when screwing up!![/spoiler]
