- Your heart rate increases faster when sprinting. It decreases faster when idle.
- The heart beat sound in the game is an actual recording of my partner's heart beat. We used an app that records and amplifies the sound.
- I smashed up a piece of banana in my hand trying to record a juicy heart pick up SFX, just to run out of time before implementing it. Rest in peace.
- Used an edited photo of myself in the obituary paper pickup towards the end of the game.
