I decided to go over the heart system I had and start planning out something new for it. I am a fan of how games like Minecraft grant bonus hearts when you have absorption, and part of me wanted to go a similar route visually yet handle it differently.
Here's what I planned: These special hearts (I don't know how color they are, but it looks goldish to me) would overlay your current red ones if it's counted as a "Bonus heart".
If you take damage with a bonus heart, instead of removing the heart from you it would push the bonus heart back into it's default red heart state-- saving you a hit.
Here's the current design, it could change if I choose to implement this.
