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
StackHead is a fun little 2.5D platform shooter that caught me off guard with how silly its main idea is. I play as a maintenance robot working in Automa Park, an amusement park controlled by an AI. StackHead gets tired of doing the same boring job and decides to cause some trouble, which quickly turns into a run through the park while fighting robots and making a huge mess. I like that the story is simple and mostly there to give the action a reason to happen. The main mechanic is easily the best thing about it. Whenever I defeat certain enemies, I can pick up their machines and stack them on my head. Each machine adds another weapon to my growing tower, so I can gradually turn StackHead into a walking pile of weapons. It is a really straightforward idea, but it gives the combat its own identity. The amusement park setting also means the weapons can be things like bouncing balls and water bombs, which makes the shooting feel more playful than a normal robot shooter.

The park gives the levels different themes and lets the game p…1 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
