Death-Head Hopper

Want to help your teammates while you spectate? Or maybe annoy them instead?
Now you can!

Death-Head Hopper lets you keep moving after death, literally.
Hop around as your disembodied head and explore the dungeon, or bounce your way to your teammates to show them you're very much... not alive.

Features

✅ Hop around as your head after dying.
✅ Switch to spectate others anytime.
✅ Includes tweaks to keep the gameplay balanced and fair.
✅ Unlock head upgrades and use abilities to help out your teammates!

Controls

While spectating, you can switch to your own head and control its movement.

Jump (Space) – Bounce into the air
Movement keys (WASD) – Control jump direction
Tumble (Q) – Reorient your head

Upgrades

Power Upgrade – Head Power
Enhances your base stats including jump height, ability meter and tether range. Also allows you to climb stairs!

Charge Ability – Head Charge
Unlocks a powerful charge ability that can be used to temporarily stun enemies. Higher levels increase it's base stats, like the amount of bounces and enemies you can stun.

Notes

Mod Requirements

The host must have this mod installed, and any players who want to use it must install it as well.
For the full experience, all players should have the mod installed.

Balance Tweaks

• Reviving in truck always requires player interaction (grabbing the head)
• Anchor tethering mechanic: player heads get anchored to the ground and to item carts, restricting their movement to a smaller area. Grabbing their head will break them free. (can be enabled and or further restricted in the config)

Configuration

FlashlightFlicker – The head flickers its flashlight to indicate when something is wrong.

⚙️ Host-Determined Rules

AnchorMode – Always anchor head with a tether | anchor once the last extraction point is completed | never anchor.
