Play Captain Tomaday neo geo Online

You control a floating astronaut while your detachable head zips around blasting aliens—awkward at first, but the chaos clicks fast. Dodging bullets with two separate hitboxes is as silly as it is satisfying.

Game Overview

Okay, so Captain Tomaday is this weird little Neo Geo shooter where you play as a tiny astronaut dude with a detachable head. Yeah, you read that right—your head flies off to shoot while your body just kinda floats there. It’s bizarre, but in that classic arcade way where you’re immediately like, "Wait, what?" before getting sucked into the chaos.

The levels scroll upward, and you’re blasting through waves of aliens, robots, and other nonsense while dodging bullets that fill the screen. The controls take a second to get used to—your head moves independently, so you’re basically juggling two hitboxes at once. Mess up, and you’re down to just a head or just a body, which feels as ridiculous as it sounds.

It’s short, tough, and doesn’t overstay its welcome. If you’re into old-school shooters that don’t hold your hand, this one’s a fun little time capsule.
