    HEAD OVER HEELS

    OK, let me try and explain this. You see, Heads (he's the one with arms) can glide and jump and shoot, but he can't carry anything. And heels, the one with the feet, can carry things, but he can't shoot. And if you get them together then they can do all sorts of things... Let me try again. There's this evil emperor, see, called Blacktooth, and he's enslaved all these different planets. So Head and Heels are trying to liberate the Five Crowns and... well there are these doughnuts, and some fish and bunny rabbits, and... well, it's really sort of... unique.

    Features:
    • Dynamite, detailed 3D graphics
    • Hilarious characters and situations
    • Cunning puzzles and problems
    • Unique two-characters-for-the-price-of-one control system
    • Doughnut guns, reincarnation fish, cuddly stuffed white rabbits, crowns, springs, hush puppies, and British royalty
    • Five different planets lo explore and liberate
    • Laughs, logic, and lots of fun

    HEAD OVER HEELS

    Hi! My name's Mr.. Head. Some say I'm the one with the brains but I don't think my flat footed friend would agree. I'm a realsharp shooter, but without my pal Mr.. Heels I'd get nowhere fast... or slow! I can jump like a flea and even glide but Heels is the Daley Thompson of the two of us - he's FAST! Together, if we can find each other, we really do make an awesome twosome, and that's the only way we can overcome the emperor Blacktooth. The last time we entered Castle Blacktooth we found the crowns of THREE of the suppressed kingdoms but by the time I'd run out of doughnut ammunition and my buddy was lost somewhere in the Safari world - it was the closest we had come to defeating that rapscallion - we were jumping for joy., splitting our sides, dying with laughter... we were Head over Heels!
