Introduction to Tug of Heads
Have you ever played a game where you’re basically the rope? That’s the quirky charm of Tug of Heads. You guide a string of little colorful bodies through twisty mazes, tapping to hop and swapping head positions to solve puzzles. Each tap sends your chain bouncing along, and if you manage to collide heads just right, you can split off or merge segments to unlock new paths.
The puzzles start simple—learning how to bob over gaps or nudge switches—but quickly morph into real brain-benders. You’ll have to juggle timing with your line of characters, shuffle them around so each head presses a pressure plate, and even sacrifice a few segments to activate hidden blocks. It’s surprisingly strategic once you realize each jump ripples through your whole cluster.
Graphically, it’s clean and playful, all pastel hues and bouncy animations that make every hop feel snappy and lighthearted. There’s a hint of a whimsical story, too—ancient ruins, mysterious scrolls, and a sense that you’re piecing together a lost civilization’s secrets. Even without a heavy narrative, it’s easy to get hooked on tracking down every collectible and nailing the perfect run.
What really seals the deal is how it squeezes so much puzzle-platform fun out of a one-button control scheme. Whether you’re killing a few minutes on your phone or huddling with a friend for local co-op, it’s a delightful twist on classic platforming. By the end, you’ll not only master the art of the segmented leap but probably be grinning at how you ever thought you could jump in a straight line.
