Losing your head and having it tumble around a lot would probably meet the definition of a bad day, yes.
This is a kind of puzzle game in which you rotate the play area in order for Bob's head to roll and bounce around, collecting all of the coins to leave the level. What keeps the game from being very basic is the wealth of power-ups you can collect, as some of them behave much more like power-downs: they can reverse the gravity, reverse your left-right controls, and do all manner of other things to make the levels more challenging than they otherwise would be.

You could say this is a love-it-or-hate-it kind of game, and it's certainly pretty unusual. Practice makes perfect, so if you can get good enough to progress far through the game, you might get a lot of enjoyment out of this one.
