Head over Heels for MorphOS
===========================

The free and open source remake of Head over Heels, Jon Ritman and Bernie
Drummond's isometric arcade adventure (Ocean, 1987). Head jumps high and
fires doughnuts; Heels runs fast and carries things. Apart they are
limited, joined together they can do everything -- free the five planets of
the Blacktooth empire and escape.

Everything is in this archive, there is nothing else to download.
