Game Description You’re a skydiving, video-streaming guerilla artist in the floating city of Boston High. Your job is to leap from buildings, cause mischief, and not get caught by the police.

Game Features

• Leap from mile-high skyscrapers.
• Kiss the sides of buildings with your mouth.
• There’s, like, a parade with giant balloon floats on one level, and you can smack into them, ruining everything, just to be a jerk.
• Also, there’s a level with a giant 4-story cake that you can topple over hapless spectators.
• We’re experimenting with a thing where you’re also able to break the city’s wastewater storage systems, but you’d kinda have to be a double jerk to do it.
• Over 0 levels included in the full game!
• 0 weapons, unless you count the spray paint you use to tag windows.
• Unique, challenging, and other meaningless adjectives that every game uses to describe themselves.
• How many bullet points do you want, buddy?
• ‘Cause here’s another one.
• This is our follow-up to the original, award-winning series.
• The original is in the Guinness World Records for longest word in a video game title.
• It also broke Steam because the title was way long.
• And it won a bunch of awards. Some, for publications and conventions that don’t exist anymore. Ten years is a long time.

Game Description BeachHead is not just a game, it’s an immersive journey into a parallel universe where abandoned weaponry shapes the struggle for dominance. Led by the formidable Musso-Khan, the Death Army vies for control, symbolizing a broader contest between autocracy and freedom. Developed by Pepe Moreno, the original creator of the iconic BH2000 series, this revitalized BeachHead offers a full VR experience and living world. Dive into a rich economy, earn BHC credits, and seamlessly trade in the fully integrated BH Marketplace. With enhanced graphics, realistic battles, and a revamped interface, BeachHead delivers a thrilling and strategic gaming experience. Your legacy awaits in this new era of BeachHead!

Hello, I’m Pepe Moreno, the original creator of the BH2000 series. Digital Fusion Inc., my development company, brought you the hugely successful BH2K game series on both PCs and in arcades worldwide. With a background in comics and a natural inclination for storytelling, I embarked on the journey of crafting BeachHead, originally conceived as a world. However, during that era, the simplicity of games and the constraints of arcade technology limited its potential.

The new iteration of BeachHead has transcended those limitations. It’s not just a one-shot deal; it’s a fully immersive VR game and a living experience within an expansive, ever-growing game world. This world exists in a parallel dimension to our own, complete with a social structure and economy—essentially, an RPG-like turret defense shooter. While our initial plan during the early access period was to develop the full game and its features, including the vast scope of the BeachHead world, including BH City, we decided to embrace a progressive implementation approach toward achieving the complete BeachHead World experience—one battle at a time. We believe this approach will allow us to gradually unveil the richness and depth of the BeachHead universe, ensuring a captivating and thoroughly developed gaming experience for our players.
