Have you ever felt like a really colorful, but inexplicably ticked off tiki-head chained against your will to another tiki-head? Did it upset you that the only way you could get through your tiki existence was to work with the head to which you were chained, like it or not? If so, stay far away from Knuckleheads, today's Time Waster. We don't want you to get flashbacks.If the idea of manuevering little heads on chains around an arcade world reminiscient of those of your childhood (but with better graphics), Knuckleheads might be the escape from the month end paperwork you were looking for.
The idea is to move your heads forward while hitting as many desirable targets (little star capsules, to start with) as you possibly can. Using your keyboard, the left and right arrows move your heads backward and forward, and the up and down arrows allow you to lengthen and shorten your chain. The game gets progressively trickier, calling upon your coordination and patience to hit correctly colored monsters with the matching head, avoid spikes, and adhere to some really unsavory sounding sticky blocks.
A minute to learn, a lifetime to master? Yeah, well, maybe not. Nevertheless, Knuckleheads is entertaining, and even when you've pretty well mastered it, there's something really pleasing about the squash of a tiny grimacing head against a sticky block.

The only reason that game is hard at all is because the controls really suck. That doesn't make for a very good game.
