Beach Heading

Beach Heading was one of those simple, quick games you'd find during the Flash era. It didn't need a complicated setup or a story. You just loaded it in your browser and started playing. The premise was immediately clear, and it fit right in with the kind of instant, physics-based challenges that were common at the time.

You control a soccer player standing on a beach. A ball is balanced on your head, and you move side to side with the arrow keys. The goal is to keep the ball from falling while avoiding objects dropped by seagulls flying overhead. Cans, bottles, and other bits of trash fall at an increasing rate. The game requires steady movement and sharp focus, as a single hit ends your run. It feels like a tense, physical balancing act, where every small adjustment matters.
