Headless Havoc

In Headless Havoc the player can take control of the infamous literary character, The Headless Horseman, as they gallop across a fog-laden field while chopping the heads of terrified fleeing villagers.

To move the Horseman, the player uses the mouse to either go up or down with the horseman responding in kind and clicking the left mouse button to swing their sword at a villager. In order to chop the head off a villager, the player must line up a circle beside the horseman, once the circle encompasses a victim, the player then can successfully chop their victims head off.

The goal of the game is to get the highest score possible and has no traditional health bar or timer. Instead there is a "Havoc" meter that is replenished when the player successfully chops off a head. As the level progresses there are more villagers to attack, but the Havoc bar decreases rapidly. Players can also be awarded extra points and replenish more of their Havoc bar through "perfect" head chops or even a "double" head chop.
