Red Head

This little bouncy redhead is just sitting at the start, looking out over a patchwork of grass and floating ledges. In the game Red Head, you follow this tiny ball as it tries to roll across shifting platforms, dodge weird pointy spikes, and keep from tumbling straight off the edge into space. He's not much of a superhero yet—just trying to figure things out as he goes, rolling a bit too fast sometimes, stopping short other times. Some platforms drift sideways. A couple seems way too far apart at first glance. Wind blows leaves past his face. It's kind of peaceful if you're not mid-jump.

How to play?

You steer him around using the arrow keys or on-screen buttons. You want him to make it from one solid patch of ground to the next without smacking into spikes or falling straight down. In the game Red Head, the main thing is watching your speed—if you zip too quick, you'll breeze right past where you meant to stop. Some ledges are only just wide enough, and every now and then, there's a sudden gap that's way longer than it looks. Bounce, pause, nudge yourself forward, then try for the jump. Once you get the hang of planning each move, it feels kind of satisfying, especially the tricky parts. Just watch out when you think you've got it down. That last jump always threw me for a loop.
