HEADS
Heads are required for the process. If you cannot provide, we shall have to take yours.
HEADS is a tiny, lightly spooky/horror-themed game of heads or tails, with a wide range of upgrades, special coins and additional slots to create a build that will help you survive the night. Headhunter Harry waits in the darkness - you'll need to refine your strategy and hope for a stroke of luck to avoid his axe!
DEV NOTE: this one was a fun little Halloween project for me rather than anything serious, so there's definitely some jank and issues with balance/optimisation. It'll run a little slow on particularly old or low power devices, please be aware before downloading!
THE WEB BUILD CONTAINS MULTIPLE GRAPHICAL AND AUDIO ERRORS, AND IS SLOW TO LOAD. IF IT'S AN OPTION FOR YOU, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND USING THE DOWNLOADABLE BUILDS PROVIDED FOR WINDOWS OR LINUX.
HOW TO PLAY
I recommend playing in a dark room with headphones, but play however you feel comfortable
No instructions are provided for gameplay - I have full confidence that you'll figure it out!
HEADS can be played with a mouse, but I'd highly recommend playing with the number pad - once you get to grips with it it's much faster :)
WARNINGS
This game features flashing lights - the most extreme effects can be disabled on startup, but some flashes and changes in brightness may be present in all versions of the game. Please play at your own discretion.

I felt rewarded for my strategy and the ending was great, well done.
Thank you! Glad you had a good time :)
Such a clever concept! I enjoyed figuring out the basic controls before I even got a grasp of the game. Will come back to it later, great work.
Bring back Ceefax.
Thank you! So many memories of my Dad checking football scores on Ceefax as a kid, always really liked the aesthetic and thought it'd be a really fun fit here :)
