Overview
Levelhead is a game making game where you construct levels to train a delivery robot. The simple drag and drop level design develops into as complex a level maker as you want. Create simple running and jumping levels or something huge, puzzling and impossible.
You can create sprawling adventures, a puzzle game, a pinball machine, a Level full of bosses, a fast-paced challenge, a relaxing musical contraption, a well-paced sidescroller, or whatever else you can imagine.
Along with the 90 or so levels included, you can download and play other people's levels as well as create your own. This includes couch co-op mode with friends for up to four people.
This game is good if you want to learn something playing a properly great game or make video games.
