Hammer-Head description

Quite primitive in terms of gameplay the platforming is of Spanish origin. The essence of the game – you need to manage a healthy man (in some descriptions it is called a secret agent, but clear the plot of the game is missing), which sequentially passes through various (sometimes quite exotic) the levels and fight enemies only (in the beginning of the game, of course - then there will be weapons), through its huge head, which is wearing a powerful military helmet. Each level is time limited. The hero himself doesn't do much – unless you beat the enemies head and jumping (he is not just useful).

Interesting moment there are two. Firstly, the bonuses. A lot of them, almost all of them are standard – the restoration of health, increase the time to complete the level, additional "life," but there's a pretty amazing bonus, which at the time you can get yourself an assistant – the same Hammer-head om, just a little (unfortunately, to manage it does not – this makes the computer, but in fights it helps good). Secondly, enemies and level design. Somehow, most of those with whom we have to fight, be aggressive, women are very strange (with tiny bodies and huge heads, with long hair and dark glasses, and their skin is purple...), although there are, of course, all sorts of monsters, soldiers, and angry birds.

The graphics of the game is impossible, unfortunately, to call especially beautiful, and the extra brightness in this case is not quite good. However, the levels are relatively varied, and the design is very interesting – there is often found, for example, suspension bridges and other interesting structures. In General, platformer typical of the average level or even below, but you can play.

Now, play Hammer-Head online for free on your browser and make your boring weekend fun and full of entertainment.
