Did a rework on the health indicator for Night of the Hatchet, with different states of health and Godmode (the golden heart!) Each time you gets to a health refiller your HI will blink once as seen in this anim! First piece I uploaded here in a while, well I have gotten hold on a iPAQ 214 with a great paint tool that im pushing pixels on (Pocket Artist) so I bet I'll upload more in the near future :D

Hmm... not really. But I think that looks better with than without. Its probably the shape of a hearth in general that disturbs me so never mind :P It looks good.

The game will run at 2x Scale so I hope that takes away the problem!

The Game will spin in 2x scaling so I think the size is sufficient, and the blinking thingies only appear when you get a health power-up, I do realize that the animation here is quite distracting though.
Tnx for comment

Yeah, I did think Zelda when I did this one. Love them small hearts, but you might be right on the multiple heart usage. Thanx for the comment!

I think it looks a bit jaggy. You should remove the pixels at the edges in the middle of the hearts outlines. It looks odd when your not zoomed in.

it should be bigger because its too distracting to look at

Depending on your the resolution of the game, I know I've always been partial to multiple hearts and/or half hearts (big or small) to gauge my health in games. It allows for quick reference, Zelda style.

Personal preference but if it fits your game play then I'm glad.
