The briefing

About this game

Harvey Headbanger is a single-screen action-strategy duel starring the drinkers Harvey Headbanger and Hamish Highball. Players compete across a board of 64 squares, turning each square they walk across to their own colour.

Claiming a 3x3 box of squares releases cocktails in that player’s colour, allowing only them to collect the drinks and restore energy. Contact drains energy from both players, while the player with more energy can recover first. To score a point, trap the opponent inside a box formed by your squares.

Games can be played to between 1 and 10 points. The one-player mode offers five difficulty levels.
