## What is BangHead?

An ad-free arcade platformer you can play entirely offline. Jump into the plank an enemy is standing on to flip it, then kick it away before it gets back up.

BangHead is quick, skill-based arcade action for iPhone and iPad. Every level fits on one screen: you can see the whole problem the second it starts.

NO ADS. NO ACCOUNTS. NOTHING COLLECTED.
There is no advertising in this game and there never will be. No sign-up, no tracking, no data collection. It plays with no internet connection.

THREE WORLDS, ALL FREE
The Old Mine: twelve levels and a boss, with an endless mode once you know your way around. The Frozen Shaft: ice underfoot, iron ticks that take two hits, and cave toads you have to catch between hops. The Molten Deep: planks that break when you hit them, dash mites, and bats that only come down to rest. Each world is twelve levels, a boss and an endless mode, and all of it unlocks by playing.

A BOSS AT THE END OF EACH
Two hits in a row to flip it, a kick to hurt it, and it calls for help every time you do.

STARS AND ENDLESS
Three stars on every level: clear it, clear it without dying, and pull off a chain. Endless mode laps a world faster and faster on one set of lives, with a Game Center leaderboard if you want one.

MAKE IT YOURS
Change the miner's helmet, the glow of his lamp, the trail a kicked enemy leaves and the colour of the buttons. All of it is free, and none of it changes how the game plays.

MADE FOR TOUCH
One thumb rolls between the two arrows. Swap them for a joystick, make the buttons bigger or fainter, switch to left-handed play, or use a game controller.

No ads and no in-app purchases. All three worlds are free.
