H.E.C.
A downloadable game for Windows
"MY HAND...
IT'S BECOMING... EEEEYAAAARRRGH!
IT'S BECOMING H.E.C.!"
H.E.C. (Hand-Eye Coordination) is a fast-paced arcade game where you play as a lone eyeball. Dodge, weave, and unleash your own ocular fury against a relentless swarm of parasite-ridden hands. Test your reflexes and hand-eye coordination in this bloody, hand-thrashing, knuckle-busting, fist-thrusting battle for survival aboard a doomed research vessel.
FEATURES:
- Deliciously cognitive GORE!
- Simple controls & high skill ceiling.
- Big eyeball protagonist.
- Exciting near-misses!
- A chilling tale of parasitic horror set at sea!
- A little hand that plays piano somewhere off-screen.
Can you survive the H.E.C.?
CONTROLS & MECHANICS
The controls are very simple, but for those seeking a competitive edge, look no further! (look a little further, the details are below)
- Aim: Mouse Cursor
- Jump: Left Mouse Button
- Attack: (in air) Hold Left Mouse Button to enter bullet time. Release to attack!
- Brake/Cancel Attack: (in air) Right Mouse Button
- Wall Slide: (grounded) Move your mouse onto the wall you wish to slide across. Left Mouse Button.
HEALTH
- Performing a successful attack will deplete a MAXIMUM of one (1) health point. The more hands you kill within a single attack the better!
- Collect blue eye droppers to regain health.
- The pulsing blue circles let you know where the next eye dropper will spawn.
SPECIAL HANDS
- There are two types of special hands. The first are the red dashing hands. They will play a sound and visual cue right before they perform their dash. You CAN kill them while they're in a dash!
- The second type are the yellow follower hands. Keep an ear out for these creeps. They're fast & accurate.
- Killing ANY type of special hand will automatically spawn the next eye dropper.
- Getting multiple special hand kills within a single attack is difficult, but very beneficial!

this game cured my depression, very gud
what the HEC?
Feels VERY good and satisfying, can see myself hunting for a highscore with PEDRO PEDRO PEDRO blasting in my eardrums.
One frustration point is getting hit by new hands spawning in, maybe add an indicator or a small immunity frame when they enter the screen.
edit:NVM there is a orange fog that shows where they spawn. GIT GUD
Love the sounds and the graphics, so much juice i could drink it with a straw.
Battlepass when?!?!? need my bikini skin...
thank you very much, battlepass in next patch
