Hearts
Show lives or health for challenge runs and take them away live from chat, the editor or your phone.
On this page
Hearts shows how many lives you have left. Lose one and a mark empties; lose them all and a game-over moment plays. Perfect for hardcore runs, "three strikes" challenges or letting chat punish your mistakes.
Show one mark per life or a single mark that drains as you lose lives.

Tips
- Keep lost lives visible shows empty marks, so viewers see how many you lost.
- Show count ("3 / 5") or Show set to Count only (3 / 5) works well in a tight corner.
- With 7 or more lives, a small Max width (px) wraps the marks to a second row.
- Add a Lose sound, Gain sound and Empty sound for extra drama.
- Game-over effect chooses between a full moment and a subtle pulse.
