Detaching and firing Headdy's head in eight directions allows players to strike enemies and retrieve distant items. By hitting the HeadCase, players swap between over 15 different head types, such as Slammer Head for bashing objects, Vacuum Head for sucking up foes, or Spike Head for combat. Using a HangMan enables Headdy to swing across ledges or drag objects toward himself.
