Inflatum

Inflatum (pronounced In-Flay-Tum) is a cozy 2.5D critter-rescue puzzle adventure where you don’t control the hero; you inflate the world around them.
Help a hedgehog, pangolin, or armadillo reunite with their stranded family by inflating trampolines, cushions, and balloons to bounce, shield, and lift them to safety. Sometimes the right move is to carefully inflate… and sometimes it’s to pop!

Rescue.Can you reunite your critters with their families?Known Issue. One known issue on release version 1.13: The game is optimized for 16:9 Ratio, and the gas gauge may be slightly misaligned at ultra wide ratios.Workaround: Switch to a 16:9 resolution supported by your display (for example 1920 x 1080, 2560 x 1440 or 3840x2160) and use Fullscreen or Borderless. If available, enable GPU or monitor scaling set to "Aspect ratio" to preserve 16:9 with pillar boxing.Broader aspect ratios will be supported in future versions.
