Tantalus is a 2D jump game, by using keyboard to control body-less heart rotating and bouncing in the area to avoid flying knives, in the same time touching the edge of the knives is the way to get points.


The story is about a patient with locked-in syndrome, who keep fighting in his one mind.When the body cannot move by free will but still have partial consciousness, every bounce of the heart is both award and torture at the same time, the two status become the only circulating meaning of life till the end.


In the game, player might be stabbed to death, or getting tired after high score and subjectively end the game.
