An easy to miss re-release of a Sega Genesis platformer, Tinhead is an extremely particular challenge. The first few levels are cute and simple, luring you into a false sense of security once levels start spawning enemies on top of you at level start, covering every surface in spikes, and demanding Mega Man-esque perfect jumps to reach the goal.

Levels are completed by collecting a star hidden somewhere on the map before taking it to the goal, usually placed quite far from the star, with some levels essentially requiring two run-throughs of their entirety.

Top it all off with some half-helpful, half hurtful utility power ups (like a propeller that helps by killing enemies and a unicycle that makes it even easier to fall of each and every ledge) and you have a strong platformer with excellent charm and music, and an EXTREMELY cool projectile bounce mechanic, muddled down by overbearing difficulty.

Thank god the QUByte Classics series provides save states...but you're still in for a tough time.
