    How to play
    1. There is no build to download: get the code from the project's repository.
    2. Build it as its README says. What the build gives, a program to run or the original game rebuilt for an emulator, is written there too.
    3. The project's page says what it needs from your own copy of Head Over Heels, if anything.

From SubmitGame's list, read Oct 21, 2026, with releases, stars and licenses as each project's repository gives them. The steps are the same for every project of a kind: its own page has the details.

Under the hood: every project behind it, its license and code, how they connect, and who made them.

About

Two distinct characters called Mr Head and Mr Heels are played in this arcade adventure. They are separated at the shoulders but capable of joining together to maximize their abilities in some situations (but reduce them in others, so they can be split again). The game is presented from an isometric perspective, and presents the characters with a number of puzzles involving switches, jumps and climbs. The levels are 3 dimensional, and the characters must collect crowns as they progress. Objects can be picked up and manipulated as necessary.
