About StackHead
Stackhead is a fast-paced 2.5D platformer shooter inspired by classic action platformers.You play as Stackhead, a maintenance worker at Automa Park, a massive AI-controlled amusement park.Unhappy with his job and tired of being reprimanded whenever he tries to entertain visitors, Stackhead decides to rebel. He jumps from attraction to attraction to put on a show for the crowd.The park’s AI doesn’t appreciate his initiative and sends waves of robots to stop him — but the chaos only makes the audience cheer louder.Fight your way through diverse attractions, defeat robotic enemies, and explore the park as you make your way toward the AI’s headquarters for a spectacular final showdown.
Core Gameplay & Key Selling Point
As his name suggests, Stackhead can stack machines on top of his head by collecting them from defeated enemies.As you progress, you build a towering arsenal of weapons, transforming into a walking weapon tower — all while staying true to the amusement park theme with bouncing ball shots, water bombs, and other playful yet destructive attractions.This unique Stacking mechanic is the core gameplay system and the game’s main feature.TEAM

Very good game! I love the graphics of the game, colorful and all, very fun! And all the enemies and the boss are so well done and everything (I'm very objective, absolutly not saying that cuz i'm one of the devs xd)6 found this helpful
i so badly want to play this game even more, please tell me there is a future update for a this!!3 found this helpful
Charming, cute, surprisingly innovative, and more important, really cool. I support platformers, doubly so when they're indie. All I could ever ask for is more content. Sequel? Follow up? Doesn't matter, just give me more. Take my money, please. You should play this.2 found this helpful
Muy interesante para ser una propuesta de estudiantes, es un plataformas sencillo pero con buenas ideas y mecánicas divertidas. La idea te poder tener más piezas para disparar sobre la cabeza del robot está bien pensada porque entre más peso llevas menos podes saltar y moverte con fluidez y eso debes cambiarlo según los momentos de las pantallas, una idea simple pero bien ejecutada. Tal vez hay un par de detalles a pulir pero nada que demerite la calidad del juego, 30 minutos y gratis, super bien para darse a conocer como un estudio novel.1 found this helpful
