Dynamite Headdy is incredibly difficult, so dificult in fact that when we first rented it I couldn't even get past the first level! I recently got it on VC and managed to clear it this time and it's one of the most bizarre games I've ever played. Out all the strange moments my particular favourite is Babyface - a giant floating baby head which turns into a boy, teenager, middle-aged man then elderly man as you damage him then eventually dies of old age before you can defeat him yourself. It also makes very good use of classical music during certain bosses. ("You got a secret bonus point")
