MORE CLASSIC HEAD OVER HEELS MOMENTS

So Close

At the beginning of the game, Head and Heels are tantalisingly disconnected with just this slim wall between them. Even with Head’s superior jump, the wall can’t be scaled, although persistent fans found a way. Through careful positioning of Heels and frantic jumping by Head, the pair can be combined at this early stage, saving a lot of work for Head.

By Royal Decree

Famously reinvented from its original design as Plug from The Bash Street Kids, Jon and Bernie reasoned that telling journalists it was a Prince Charles Dalek would engender more interest. It did, and it’s also one of the trickiest early puzzles in Head Over Heels. Manipulate the royal auricles using the bumper and jump over him in order to grab that vital piece of equipment, the purse.

Thanks For The Memories

One of Bernie Drummond’s favourite graphics, the reincarnation fish is an ornate and strange creature that instantly memorises everything about your game once eaten. Lose a life and Head, Heels or both are transported back to the location where you ate the fish. Essentially a checkpoint, it’s nonetheless another fine example of the fantastic imagination behind Head Over Heels.

Teamwork Makes The Dream Work

Even once united, Head and Heels must still continually work at solving the game’s nefarious screens. Often, they’ll need to separate once more in order to fit through tight gaps. Here, there’s a reversal of roles as Heels stands on Head in order to slot through the hole. With his superior jump, Head can then follow through on his own.
