The Headsman
Description
This game is based on the song The Headsman by the Finnish metal band Deathlike Silence. The lyrics are about executions by decapitation, and so is the game: while the music video plays in the background, the player presses a button to perform an execution. Then the head falls straight down and - when the timing was right - in one of the baskets which horizontally move over the screen. There are five rows of baskets and the lower ones reward more points: besides the farther distance they also move faster. The goal is scoring as many points as possible before the songs ends.
