A multiplayer arcade game, in which we literally take the opponents’ heads and use them to score points by shooting goals like in soccer, bowling or throwing them into the basket. The game also has a special single player mode called Zombie.

Technical aspects

Headsnatchers is a dynamic arcade game that focuses on multiplayer. The game has been released by Iceberg Interactive company, and the game itself is the work of the independent IguanaBee studio.

Game mechanics

Headsnatchers lets us participate in an unusual competition, in which we take heads of the opposing team in a rather literal fashion and try to score with them. The winning team or player is determined with the highest score, although players who lost their head and won’t retrieve it before someone scores with it automatically lose the game.

Matches can take place on one of the twenty-five maps, with the action presented by the camera located behind players’ characters. Each area offers different arsenal, consisting not only of traps and melee weapons, but also special powers (like summoning the mighty Kraken to our side) and rules of the game. One map offers a variation of a soccer match, others feature basketball-like competition, or use schemes known from bowling and ice hockey.

As heads are always at the center of attention, developers provided players with more than a hundred types of them. And if none of them is to players’ liking, they can create their own using a complex editor.

Game modes

Headsnatchers offers four game modes, and even though it focuses on multiplayer for up to four players (both through Internet or split-screen), lone players can try a special Zombie mode.

Technical aspects

Headsnatcher’s three-dimensional graphics use simple and good-looking style filled with colors. It should be noted that every stage can be destroyed to some extent.
