When interdimensional anomalies invade the laboratory, Professor J calls upon Headcannon to fend off waves of dastardly foes. Sometimes things don't always go how you think they might in your head, but if you fight hard enough, you just might be able to make things right!

Headcannon is a third person, top-down shoot 'em up featuring waves of enemies for Windows/PC. The titular character Headcannon has a cannon for his head.  He can shoot out short blasts of energy, exploding missiles for taking out large groups of enemies, and fearsome laser blasts! He also comes equipped with boost jets for sprinting or closing the gap.

The game was inspired by various arcade shooters, as well as other mecha, robot, and sci-fi media such as Space Invaders, Galaga, Armored Core, Gundam, Virtual On, Megaman, and Vampire Survivors. It's a smooth, modern arcade-style shooter with a retro feel, wrapped in a colorful, cartoon-y, and absurdist style.

This is a demo of the game showcasing the first 10 waves and core system of Headcannon. Fight through the first 10 waves of enemies and the first boss battle!

While the demo shows off some of the core components of Headcannon, we plan to expand with the funds from Kickstarter into a full-fledged game.

Here are our plans for the final version:

• A story mode with 30-50 waves of enemies which follows the narrative of Headcannon and Professor J as they struggle against the interdimensional anomalies invading the biodome and laboratory. 
• More epic boss battles, cool weapons, and an expanded upgrade system!
• An endless shooter mode where the sky's the limit for running up the scoreboard. You can truly put your skills to the test!
• Bug fixes, smoother mechanics and gameplay, full controller support, more art, and more content
