About We Want Your Head

Hit… or die.

Welcome to the twisted version of a classic arcade experience. In We Want Your Head, you enter a world of pixelated nightmares where disembodied heads burst out from the darkness. With every swing of your hammer, you fight for a few more seconds of peace — and for your own head.

Gameplay

We Want Your Head is a horror-themed arcade game inspired by the 1970s classic Whac-A-Mole.The mechanics are simple — press the correct number on your keyboard to smash the emerging heads.As the pace increases, mistakes become inevitable, and every wrong move brings you closer to the end.You have 3 lives — miss three times, and the execution machine comes for you.This time, it’s your head on the line. Every hit counts, and every mistake creates extra pressure.

Atmosphere

The game draws inspiration from retro 3D aesthetics of the PS1 era, blending it with the unsettling vibe of an arcade that should never have existed.Flickering screens, dirty textures, distorted digits, and grotesque heads create a constant feeling of dread and inevitability.This isn’t a nostalgic trip down memory lane — it’s a nightmare that remembers how much fun you used to have.

Will you keep your head on your shoulders?

We Want Your Head is a tribute to classic arcade games — but this time, the price isn’t just your coins... It’s your life.Will you dare to play?

How to Play.

Use numpad keyboard or default number keys.

I really like this game. It starts off pretty challenging, but ones you get the hang of it, and into a rhythm it gets pretty easy. It's a fun quick game for achievement hunters!

You play an arcade machine that is about smashing heads. I bet this is one of Art the Clown's favorite video games.

This game was surprisingly fun. I occasionally come here to try to beat my high score, to no avail. Very loud, but I just turned down my volume.

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
