Headsnatchers is a party game for up to four players in which the object is to, as the title suggests, snatch the other players' heads—literally rip them from the shoulders of your opponents. It sounds horrific, but there's more: "Dunk your buddies’ heads through hoops like LeBron, kick your grandpa’s gobbler through a portal to hell like Doomguy and flush your sister’s brain-basket down the toilet like the dooky you pushed out five hours after you shoved that XL pizza down your face."
That is, I admit, not the most tasteful game description of all time, but it sounds like silly fun, there's a single-player Zombie Castle mode, a "Headitor" for creating your own custom heads, and—this is the big point—it's currently free from the Humble Store. You'll need to sign up for the Humble Store mailing list if you're not already on it; once that's taken care of, a link to a Steam key will be sent via email.
Since you're poking around there anyway, the Humble Store is currently in the midst of a full-on Winter Sale, with a range of publisher sales, indie deals, and some Witchers to toss coins at, which runs until January 23. Headsnatchers is only free for the next couple of days, though—until 10 am PT/1 pm ET on January 12—and the Steam key must be redeemed by the same time on January 16, so be sure not to sleep on it.
Some online stores give us a small cut if you buy something through one of our links. Read our affiliate policy for more info.

Hello all,
We have released a new update for you today! It comes with 2 new levels in the online modes (your favorite toilet and the pirate ship, yarrr!) and a lot of fixes & improvements. Enjoy snatching!
Online levels added
Added Toilet level to the online modes.
Added Pirate Ship level to the online modes.
Improvements
Controllers popups and tooltips adapted to the controller’s distribution and type of controller.
Mouse on menus only appears when the player moves it (so it will not annoy a player using a controller or keyboard).
When someone leaves the online modes, it shows the username of that player in the prompt for the remaining players.
When the host leaves, the clients receive a message notifying them of the occurrence.
Gameplay is no longer letterboxed when in 16:10 aspect ratio or 3440x1440 resolution.
Now "Play With Friends" (in Online) auto opens the menu (the one that opens with start button) before selecting your head, so that the player can start sending the invitations right away.
No wrap-around in the Team Selection menu.
Controller is displayed on the pause menu (when over the Controllers button).
Fixes
Changed the default button for returning, from A back to B when no alternative control scheme is created.
Tornado mode no longer shows "Player 1 Won" when other player wins, but uses the corresponding player number instead.
Translation fix: online menu button now shows "(Beta)" in all languages.
Shotgun shooting distance adjusted to better represent the effects of the gun.
Initial options displaying the default (High) instead of "Low" text when booting the game up for the first time.
Shark eats the full custom head in any offline mode.
No automatic reset of scores on Tornado/Roulette after playing Tag Team.
Pausing the game when holding Attack for Special Attack now doesn't enter into a blocked state.
"Hold" changed to "Press" on the tooltip of action needed to sacrifice a zombie Head. Also added "Zombie" to say "Zombie Head" for clarification purposes.
Your support is worth a lot, so please continue to leave your feedback on the forums.
