Head Over Heels is a platform-puzzle-adventure hybrid that debuted on 8-bit systems in late 1987, requiring players to switch between two characters with distinct abilities to solve environmental puzzles and progress through its levels. The game appeared across numerous platforms including Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, Amiga, and Atari systems.

Decades after its original release, the game has experienced a modest resurgence of interest. A long-awaited sequel, Return to Blacktooth: A Head Over Heels Adventure, finally reached completion after 37 years of development and is being ported to the Atari Jaguar, following earlier versions for Amiga and Atari ST. The original game's puzzle design philosophy continues to influence the genre, with contemporary titles occasionally drawing comparisons to its approach.
