HeadCannon has entered my canon of top GMTK 2019 games. I mean that with no hyperbole. It's a simple concept,  a sidescrolling shooter where you only have one shot (and its your head). But the execution is where the game shines! The moment to moment gameplay is always engaging.  Every new enemy brings with it a new challenge and changes the way that the game is played. Most importantly the central mechanic enhances the game instead of detracting from it. Scrambling defenselessly across a field of enemies to pickup your only means of defense is just as engaging as lining up those same enemies for your shot. Speaking of shots give this game... one.
