You need to keep shooting the heart. Basically, after you've shot the heart
twice (once from each side) you need to keep alternating sides - go right,
shoot once, go left, shoot once, go right etc. Eventually the pulse at the top
will stop and that will open the door on the next screen. Just remember that
you can only shoot once from each side, further shots will have no effect until
you swap sides. As a tip, I found it useful to have the teleport receiver
placed in the middle of the floor and zap back to it each time you shoot the
heart. That way you can easily remove the two creepy green aliens and run to
the side you need to be next. Just remember to pick it up again when you've
finished :-)
