OUR FIRST PROJECT
Head Hunters is a cooperative action game for two players in the beat ’em up style, where you take on the roles of heroes tasked with cleaning up an entire city overrun by gangs, villains, and a variety of enemies, including bosses. You’ll rely on your combat skills, special attacks, and occasional weapons to fight your way through.
The game features a total of 13 locations across 5 distinct levels.
Head Hunters was created as our first joint project. It’s a simpler title designed to test whether we were capable of developing a complete game from A to Z without external help—and we succeeded.
PLOT
Two friends, Aiden “Hawk” Hawkins and Bradley “Brad” Wright, decide to take matters into their own hands and clean up the city of criminals, thugs, gangsters, and dealers. Along the way, they encounter a very powerful man known as Synestro. How will this clash end? That’s entirely up to you!
Head Hunters is a new beat ’em up game inspired by classic 8-bit brawlers such as Double Dragon 2 and Mighty Final Fight.
