What hearts are
You start with a set number of hearts, shown as a small badge on the Home screen. Each heart is simply permission to keep playing. Because Hepta is a calm merge puzzle with no ads, hearts are the only thing pacing your play, and they’re designed to stay out of your way.
You only lose a heart when you fail
A heart is spent only when you fail a level — never when you win. Clear a board and your hearts stay exactly as they were, no matter how many moves it took.Winning never costs a heart. You can keep clearing levels back to back without spending anything. Hearts come into play only when a level doesn’t work out.
Tutorial levels are free
While you’re learning, tutorial levels never cost a heart. You can practise the basics — merging matching pieces, watching the ripple, building the target — as many times as you like. Failing a tutorial level won’t reduce your hearts, so it’s a safe place to get comfortable before the full set of levels.Hearts refill over time
Hearts refill over time while you’re away. Step away for a bit and you’ll come back to more hearts than you left with, ready to pick up where you stopped. There’s nothing to tap or claim — refilling simply happens in the background as time passes.Out of hearts?
If you run out, you have two calm options:Wait a short while
Hearts refill over time on their own. Take a break and check back soon.
