Play Head Over Heels Online

Game Overview

You control two weird little guys—Mr. Head and Mr. Heels—who are literally just a head and legs separated at the shoulders. At first, it feels ridiculous trying to maneuver them separately (Mr. Head hops around while Mr. Heels… well, kicks things, I guess?). But the real trick is figuring out when to combine them into one awkward super-being—sometimes you need the height, other times being split lets you reach switches or dodge traps.

The isometric view makes everything look like a weird little diorama, and you’ll spend a lot of time pushing blocks, climbing ledges, and hunting down crowns. It’s one of those games where you’ll try something dumb like throwing Mr. Head at a wall just to see what happens—and half the time, it actually works. The puzzles start simple but get devious fast, especially when you realize some objects can be carried or stacked in ways the game doesn’t immediately tell you.

Honestly, the whole thing feels like someone took a platformer and turned it sideways—in every sense. It’s clunky in that charming Amiga way, but once you get the hang of it, there’s nothing else quite like it.
