Play Head Panic Online

Head Panic is one of those arcade games that looks simple until you actually play it. You control this little character who’s basically just a head with legs, dodging obstacles and traps in these chaotic, maze-like levels. At first, it feels like pure reflex—jump over spikes, duck under saws—but then you realize timing matters way more than speed. Mess up once, and you’re back to the start.

What I like is how it doesn’t hold your hand. No tutorials, no slow buildup—just instant panic (fitting, right?). The music’s got this frantic energy that somehow makes dying over and over less frustrating. If you’re into arcade games where every mistake is your fault, this one’s weirdly satisfying once you get the rhythm.

Also, the later levels? Brutal. But in a good way.
