Right off the bat, I wasn't entirely fond of this game. It's quirky and fun, but the controls took me probably too long to get used to. And let me just add - this game was TOUGH! Even using save states, I still had a few game overs. The storyline is pretty interesting: King Dark Demon is taking over North Town in recruit of new evil minions, and when you (Headdy) come in to try and stop him, he tries to have you incinerated. You must make an escape and take out the evil king to save North Town. Your main attack in this game is throwing your own head at enemies, which you can also use as a hook to climb to some higher places. Dynamite is similar to Plok in this aspect; using your own body parts as weapons and getting upgrades that transform you into something more powerful. However, instead of shape-shifting into new things like in Plok, you can find upgrades to make you smaller, faster, or even invincible.
The graphics were very smooth, and are recognized as being impressive for their time. The music is also top notch, featuring some very catchy and unique tunes that set the mood very well. Overall, Dynamite Headdy is worth the play, taking me just over 4 hours to complete.
