Tinhead on the Genesis is one of those weird little platformers that somehow sticks with you. You play as this tiny robot with a big head (literally) and an even bigger arsenal—lasers, homing shots, the works. The first level throws you right into this neon alien world with these bouncy, squishy enemies that explode in the most satisfying way when you blast them.

The controls take a second to click—your jumps feel a little floaty at first, but once you get the rhythm, chaining shots while dodging obstacles feels great. And the music? Pure early '90s synth energy. It’s got that classic "one more try" vibe when you lose a life to some cheap enemy placement, but in a way that makes you grin instead of rage-quit.

Honestly, it’s not the deepest game, but there’s something charming about how unapologetically weird it is. If you dig offbeat retro platformers, this one’s worth dusting off.
