Available Platforms: Amiga, Commodore 64
Also, two alternative graphic sets are available to change the skin of the game. I hope you enjoy it. Currently, I am working in a new remake of Head over Heels, so-called version 1.5 in the forum. I spent ten months to design part of the new graphics, but much work remains still. Head Over Heels Is a Classic Ocean Software Game, Re-Imagined With Beautiful High Res Pixel Art and a Great Soundtrack! Head and Heels have been captured, separated and imprisoned in the castle headquaters of Blacktooth. Their cells contain 'keep fit' equipment, including a wall ladder that Head really must learn to climb.
Head Over Heels is an isometric action platformer game created by Jon Ritman and Bernie Drummond and published by Ocean Software.

Game Review
Head Over Heels is an isometric action platformer game created by Jon Ritman and Bernie Drummond and published by Ocean Software. Originally released on Commodore 64 and other 8 bit platforms in 1987, it was released for the Amiga and Atari ST in 1989.
In this bizarre adventure game you take control of a set of oddball aliens dubbed Head and Heels. Independently the two have their own special abilities that put them above the other. Like Head can jump higher than Heels, but Heels can run faster than Head, and so on. The two can also come together to form one entity in order to surpass certain obstacles. The game offers bizarre enemies, fun gameplay and lots of rooms with puzzles to solve.
Head Over Heels was one of the best games on the Commodore 64, with ratings always above 90% from all the most important magazines. It has also seen several remakes and ports since its initial release, including for Windows, Mac and iOS. GamesNostalgia offers you the Amiga version.
