positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The player controls a runner with basic movement actions. You can move left and right, and jump up to two times. The left and right movement can be executed in mid-air as well. Controls are ok, but can feel a bit sluggish at sometimes. While continuously moving rightwards, it is key to cross the platforms whilst avoiding hazards at all times. Runner icons can be picked up to add to your coins total. Most difficult achievements are bound to this total, so by simply grinding you can achieve a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its just okay. You will like this game if you are coin addicted I guess. If you like me looking for a good arcade game that have nightmare challenge game in it. This game is not for you This game has worthless spam achievement though suitable for beginners.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →fun game not too hard and good story line :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Easy achievements but not much else, I find myself running into nothing and dying alot, and not a fan of the music tho that is just my taste, but its really cheap so check it out if you want the achievements
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is a arcade type game. It's simple and for the price is awesome. Easy to perfect ( really easy, with low effort ) Real simple controls ( only space and arrows ) Lot's of achievements ( 199 ) Ranking Arcade style game Just buy it! It only can get better with a fallout bubble head running around!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like this game, reminded me of bit trip runner. Smooth and fair gameplay. Got it with the nuk games complete collection.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love this. Buy it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice game relaxing like all of NukGames , easy achievements and it's worth the price .
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →3.0/10 A terribly sloppy parkour mini-game that fails to deliver even basic entertainment value for killing time. Level design is monotonous and tedious, offering zero novelty—you'll grow bored after just a few minutes. Controls grant players minimal maneuverability, while many traps and obstacles are absurdly designed: they're entirely random and overly reliant on luck. More often than not, player deaths aren't due to skill but sheer misfortune. Worse still, I'm not even sure if this game…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Awesome arcade title :) All about timing and progressing through the levels. Make sure to unlock new characters that give you different abilities. This takes me back to my childhood and playing on big arcade machines! Thank you NukGames - you are the best!!! Highly recommended!!

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Got 199 achievements in 49 minutes. It is going to pop so much achievements that you are going to lose.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very simple Achievements packed in an endless-runner-plattformer. Its good for what it is.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bighead Runner is an endless runner game with very poor controls and randomly generated obstacles. The game has one annoying song that plays on a loop and it's only redeeming quality is the pixel art graphic which looks pretty good honestly. Considering how fast the game is (that is, after you limit your FPS because the game somehow doesn't have a V-Sync option or frame limiter in 2024), it's practically impossible to dodge some patterns of terrain and obstacles. The game throws you a ton of…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bighead Runner is a Brazilian 2D retro pixel endless runner/platformer where you run endlessly to the right and jump to avoid obstacles, that's all there is to it. Shallow, pointless shovelware garbage, and it looks like it's copy + pasted from a basic GameMaker Studio endless runner template. I guess they added their own sprites, because the sprites look bad. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. A choice was…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice game Easy to get all achievements 100%
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Look, we all know why we're interested in this game- it's cheap, simple and has a ton of achievements. The game has a lot of RNG stuff which is annoying. But it did pass the time for 40 minutes. The soundtrack is bad. The graphics are...there. You could do a lot worse for a dollar, like putting it toward a copy of WinRAR for example.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A waste of time. You get dozens of achievements every minute you play, but what for? Seems procedurally generated, but is often unfair with unavoidable obstacles - which kill you instantly. Haven't tried the different outfits I read about in the other comments that apparently give you new abilities, but I won't bother. I'll waste my time on different things instead.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I think it's a good game. It's automatically running and we only need to jump or slide over obstacles. The game itself is quite easy to understand and has few mechanics. It's like those old Sonic game when we can collect rings but in this game it's change to items like human-shape coins, well except we can't use brake. 7/10 from me. If you're a fellow achievement hunters and want some not-too-hard challenge, consider buying this :3
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So, another cheap indie little game that represents no challenge at all. In fact, to my surprise, I could beat this easily with little effort. That doesn't mean it's cheesy and not fun, I actually enjoyed it. Will give you a good amount of easy achievements as well. This is so cheap you can't even complain. Rating: Good Então, outro joguinho indie barato que não representa desafio algum. De fato, para minha surpresa, pude batê-lo facilmente com pouco esforço. Isto não quer dizer que é ruim e…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is like a not-so-good flash game. The controls and hitboxes feel janky, and the game has a tendency to assemble impassable obstacles. A good run largely depends on luck, after you get to the point where you can pass the various obstacles (read: play for 5 minutes). This game is obviously a cynical achievement-padder. Really not worth any money. The dinosaur game that comes with Google Chrome is better than this and this is from someone who uses Firefox.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I LITERALLY JUST STARTED PLAYING AND I GOT OVER 100 ACHIEVEMENTS ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Endless running arcade. Pretty easy. Didn't like that you can go max to the middle. Had a speed bug, where the game was insanely fast, I could only do max 5 jumps and died. But there are guides that guide you through Nvidia panel, you select this game and limit the fps to 50. And runs great. Also, what's great, the dev lets you play another game for free! When you launch this game, Steam asks which game version you want to launch; and the other one is a completely different game! Time to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For an endless runner, this game relies heavily on luck. Impassable hazards can often block your path, and the controls are pretty janky at times. I definitely recommend you keep searching for other endless runners.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I found great pleasure in playing this running game, which involves collecting coins to unlock various skins and characters. Additionally, there are achievements to be earned, and certain skins offer unique gameplay features such as the ability to perform a double jump. Not only does this game provide enjoyment, but it also grants a generous number of easily attainable achievements. Moreover, it is incredibly affordable, leaving no room for complaints. This game is a concise and straightforward…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Short and simple endless runner (platformer style). I did it. If I can do it, you can do it, since I suck at platformer games.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is purely for Achievement Hunters. This game contains hundreds of Achievements that you can obtains in minutes. The game itself is pathetic. Playing for durations longer than 14 minutes is not recommended. Total mess of pixels. Feels like playing an iphone game. That was never finshed. From 2008 Controls 2/10 Graphics 2/10 Satisfaction 2/10
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you are a fan of the old school arcade games such as Mario then you might like this. I loved Mario as a child but got incredibly frustrated when i couldn't progress to higher levels. It seems nothing has changed in 15 years. I'm still rubbish at these type of games; running into walls and dying from fireballs/spikes. I'll be honest here, this game is a lot better than i originally thought. The graphics are not at all terrible and the music is as you would expect with an arcade game. It is…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Remember BIT.TRIP RUNNER? Yeah, play that instead.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →considering the obstacles are RNG, the pace is too fast. youll be making good progress and then RNJesus denies you out of nowhere.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →annoying just annoying
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really fun game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Roguelike platformer that requires quick reflexes to survive. Very easy to unlock all achievements and is fun way to spend time if you have only around 15-20 mins.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its okay if you like that sort of game, There is a few issues I have like I would get stuck at the left of the screen using XBOX controller and some broken hitboxes with the fireballs plus some unlucky level placements occasionally. I would recommend if you want a bunch of easy acheivments. An hour to get them all for me, so if you dont suck like I do less lol
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →hardcore, lack of hint controls, but still lots of achivements, arcade, simple gameplay - great
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't usually leave reviews, but this game definitely deserves a positive one.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game kept me entertained the whole time. Great purchase.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought it only for achievements
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Kinda hard but otherwise a bit dumb, felt like achievement spam and wasnt exactly "fun"
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bighead Runner, developed and published by NukGames, is a straightforward but enjoyable endless runner that blends the simplicity of classic arcade design with a touch of modern flair. It belongs to that subgenre of games that aim to capture the addictive rhythm of one-button gameplay—where quick reflexes, memorization, and flow are everything. Released as part of NukGames’ catalog of compact, affordable indie titles, Bighead Runner stays true to the developer’s ethos: a fast-paced, no-frills…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Simple fun game, I recommend it
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →my friend gave me this game as a steam key, best thing he ever did. ts game is actually kinda fun lol. all that needs fixing is the random generation and removing the spam of achivements
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →its only for achievements.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A infinite side scrolling runner not much else to say its pretty generic but the random nature is decent.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →even calling this game ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ is still praising it its so bad
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Interesting runner game is about run as much you can and beat levels, also collect some toys and unlock some skins. For like 2 hours or less you can complete all achievements and it's not that boring.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bighead Runner is an endless runner with its title being its redeeming quality. The gameplay is repetitive and boring. There aren't really any features that make it unique enough to stand on its own two feet. The loop is simple, collect coins (if you can even call them that, they're more like mini bigheads), die, repeat. About a third of the achievements are dedicated to collecting a specific amount of coins, the last one being 5000, which isn't really fun to grind for. Overall, Bighead…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game blows ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ASS
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This absolute masterpiece of a game has changed my life. The lore and gameplay are truly phenomenal. I can't think of a better game, it truly is the best game out there.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I picked it up in a bundle many years ago. I would not have bothered playing it if not for the achievements. Most of them are quite simple, and only a few require a relatively high score. It is certainly not worth the asking price.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →BAD AND BAD GAMEE DONT BUY PLS
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Reminds me of old DOS games that run stupid fast if installed on a newer system. It runs so fast it is unplayable, could never make it more than a couple seconds without dying. But in 6 minutes of game play I somehow unlocked 110 of 192 achievements which just doesn't seem right. I will give this one more chance when I dig out a old laptop closer to what the required specs are, maybe then it will be playable.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I absolutely loved playing Bighead Runner! The 2D platformer gameplay was engaging and challenging, and the controls were tight and responsive. The levels were well-designed and offered a good level of difficulty, and I particularly enjoyed the various enemies and obstacles that the game had to offer.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's Super Mario's step son
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game almost had a dislike review it just didnt cause it was really cheap, i enjoyed the game and easy achivements. But the game has a system that obstacules apear randomly and most of the times dont give chance to dodge them... how can u compare your score and skill with this type of game?
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game uses ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ graphics and the random generation seems to make impossible obstacles, but it CONSTANTLY SPEEDS UP RANDOMLY. ♥♥♥♥ this game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game looks goofy on first glance- which it is, but it does it with delight. The achievement spam at the beginning is a bit annoying, but the game sets out to be an addicted time-killing game, and it does that amazingly. I couldn't recommend this game enough tbh.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →pretty solid 2d endless runner the dev is pretty cool game and i really love his games
