Head Over Heels is a story-driven 2D puzzle platformer where you play as a hopeless romantic who controls gravity to pursue their love. Gameplay involves navigating platforms (stationary and moving), running on walls and ceilings, and dodging spikes.

This game boasts an entire suite of original art for the character sprites, backgrounds, and UI elements. The aesthetics serve as a key visual aid as the story progresses.
