Compare Prices(4 stores)
Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About Tinhead
I spent enough time with Tinhead to see what it's after: old-school run-and-gun platforming where your only tools are timing, a serviceable jump, and a basic gun. Levels are short but punishing. Enemies like spinning Krystals and saw-blade fliers hit hard, and bosses demand pattern recognition and clean execution. The game doesn't coddle you or explain much, which is either its charm or its wall depending on your patience. What works is the core loop: each attempt teaches you the level layout, and you'll beat it on the third or fourth try. What doesn't is the lack of polish in places. The physics feel slightly floaty, checkpoints are sparse, and there's no map overview so you're often unsure if you're progressing or just stuck in a dead end. If you want a bite-sized, no-frills platformer that respects your time and reflexes, Tinhead delivers that. If you need modern QoL or forgiving difficulty options, look elsewhere.
