I have one suggestion. I would change the name to simply, “Girl with a Heart” or something similar. Having the syntactically incomplete phrase “Girl with a Heart of” is really awkward for me to read and handle, as my brain is looking for it to be completed, in an annoying way. I get that it’s part of the gameplay, but having a name like that is very uncommon, and could cause problem with the game spreading. For example, if someone says to their friend, “Hey, I just found this game called ‘Girl with a Heart of’ ”, then the listener will immediately notice the incompleteness and either believe they misheard or that their friend didn’t finish. Also I’d bet that they will explicitly mention it, like ”...Just ‘Girl with a Heart of’? That’s weird.”, or something. It will put an extra step between them playing it or asking about the game itself.
Also, will the OS X version work for a PPC processor? If so, I’ll buy it!
I personally think that “Girl with a Heart of” sounds intriguing because I assume it has story relevance and it sounds like it might be an interesting story.

Me, I keep wanting to add a ”...” to the end of that phrase.

To me, it sounds as if the game is going to be about determining whether the phrase ends with “gold”, or with “stone” or “ice” or something.
You got 2 of them right. :)
I like the weirdness of it.
I see your point, but I think that’s exactly the kind of thing that makes a game stand out, even if it’s a little annoying.
I think it should. I’ll PM you a link that you can try out.
I report that the game does work on OSX with PPC processor. Thanks!
″… Heart of” is nice, assuming it has some literary significance.
