Nudgeheads

Nudgeheads is a pixel-art party game about running, jumping and making life as hard as possible for everyone else.

THREE WAYS TO PLAY

Race: Five racers, 30 seconds, one endless course. Play online against real people, with bots filling any empty places so you never wait long. Whoever has run furthest when the timer hits zero wins.

Solo: You pinched grumpy old Mr Grumble's sock off his washing line, and he wants it back. Run as far as you can through all six worlds while he chases you, getting faster all the time. One slip and it's over.

Levels: 100 hand-made courses with a finish flag. Each one brings in a new danger or a new world. Finish fast for three stars.

SABOTAGE EVERYONE

Jump up into the ? blocks to grab power-ups:

• Super jump, for huge leaps
• Roller skates, for a burst of speed
• Banana, to send whoever is behind you flying
• Shrink ray, to make the racer in front tiny and slow
• A mystery splat that flies straight at the leader and covers their screen

SIX WORLDS, EACH WITH A TWIST

Grassy Hills, Dusty Dunes with sandstorms, Frosty Peaks on slippery ice, Haunted Hollow in the dark, Moon Base with floaty low gravity, and Lava Lake with fireballs leaping out of the pits.

DANGERS THAT GET NASTIER

Holes, crates and hanging signs to start with, then spinning saws, slamming crushers, escalators, treadmills and moving stone stairs the further you go.

EVERY ROUND ENDS WITH A STORY

The results crown an MVP, show who nearly caught you and pick out the funniest moments, like the leader who slipped on their own banana.

MAKE IT YOURS
