Cleaning up after yourself was never so fun...

Zed's got a big mess to clean up, thanks to his second cousin Zorp, and he needs your help. It goes like this: Magnetos are large, heavy spheres that power and control spaceships, and they're normally suspended above all decks. But Zorp pulled the wrong lever (he's new) and now they're all over the place! Zed has to get to the core of each spaceship to replace the fuse, and without power to the lift, he has to walk. Each deck is littered with magneto balls and wouldn't you know it, they're in the way!

Big Head Zed is a challenging puzzle game for all ages. Guide Zed through 120 decks on six spaceships, beyond dozens of obstacles and magneto balls. Lucky for us, Zed comes prepared with a device that can get those balls rolling out of his way. The instruction booklet explains, "Balls that are rolling keep rolling until they slam into something else, like a wall, or even another ball, in which case that ball picks up the energy and starts rolling now. It's simple kinetics, really."

Simple, but not easy. Push one ball and it blocks a passage, push another and it starts a chain reaction, balls hitting others, thunking and clanging, mayhem! To make things worse, some of these balls explode, melt, or even push back when they come into contact with other balls. Hmm, this might require some thought. It's quick to learn and fun to play. Push the balls in the right order and just maybe Zed won't lose his magneto-cleaning business. For Zed, it's just another day.

Big Head Zed is fun and challenging for all ages of thinkers. In-game solutions, hints, and three-level undo make sure you never get stuck. Create and share your own puzzles with the built-in level editor. Multiple save slots lets everyone in your family play. Includes sound effects, original music, and a 3D-rendered Zed, who we may have mentioned before needs your help.
