So, wanna know what I think might be one of the weirdest concepts i've ever seen?

Make My Head Grow is a multiplayer web game (one player uses the arrows keys, and the other uses the numpad) made in 2009 and it's about, well, two screaming little kids (apparently brothers) locked in boxes and the objective is to throw the other outside a plataform. No, i'm not even joking.

How you do that? Well you press the up buttom to charge a headbut to the floor that makes your head grow, though beware as holding it too much can make the head explode. Still with me? Next you punch your big head into the wall, making you explode and sending the box forward to push the other. You do this, until either of you gets sent out of the plataform, thus the pusher wins.

Even with this description, I don't think i'm giving the game justice. You simply got to play this to understand. It also has a catchy credits song that must be heard to be believed. Just go here and behold the weirdness.

This also got ported to the App Store, with the port described as having other content like AI matches and challenges, and you battle with someone on the same screen. I'm actually contemplating in getting that version, especially if it's free.

On other news:

- Hmmm..... i'm kinda contemplating this Bundle.

This game sounds pretty crazy. Is it possible to play it by yourself? I doubt I could convince my brother lol. I got Half Minute Hero The Second Coming off Steam. The original was one of my favorite PSP games. So it was a nice bonus to get it for free with it.

I played it by myself, which was not enough of a challenge at all. Possible, yes. But it's definitely meant for two players.

Also, the voices are a bit grating. lol

That's an intentional given :P

Atleast you gotta admit the credits song was pretty catchy.

It is pretty crazy. Like Joe said, the PC version is pretty much only for two players. I think the IOS port added options for single-player.
