  • Basics
    • This is a logic puzzle platformer where you must alternate your head status and collect keys to make your way.
      • Each time you collect a key it unlocks barriers of that color.
      • There are 2 different key colors which unlock different barriers.
    • Head knocking
      • In this game you knock your head off by passing through gaps which are 1 square tall.
        • You must be walking on a platform to knock your head off.
        • You can not knock the head off by passing through a small area while jumping.
      • You can put your head back on by running into it.
      • When you cycle your head status some platforms will become invisible (allowing you to pass through them) while other platforms will become solid (allowing you to walk on them).
  • Levels
    • This game does not have discrete levels, but rather has you go through a series of puzzles where you can go back and forth repeatedly.
    • In some cases you need to go back 3 or 4 screens to knock your head off in order to advance through the current screen you are on.
    • You can’t actually die in this game as there are no enemies. You simply need to find out where you should knock your head off & when you should reattach it to proceed through the game.
  • Tips
    • When you knock your head off it matters what side of a block you are on.
      • Sometimes you need to jump over a block and knock your head off from the far side and then come back to move across an activated temporary platform.
    • You frequently have to backtrack in this game.
      • In most cases you only need to backtrack a screen or two, though sometimes you may need to go back around 4 or 5 screens.
      • If you can’t go back far enough to knock your head off it means there is a way to knock it off in one of the screens you can reach.
• Target Audience
  • The game is suited for players who like simple platforming games.
  • The game has no adult themed content.

“If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you”
— Rudyard Kipling’s If
