About Airhead
Airhead is an adventure through a sprawling interconnected world, where you must explore, evolve and overcome intricate puzzles to succeed.
You play as Body, a small creature who meets a round, inflated organism and uses it as a head. And while Head is slowly but surely deflating, you have a chance to save its life.
To do so, you need to use air cylinders to keep Head inflated while you explore Airhead’s interconnected world and learn about its secrets.
On your adventure, it will be up to you to uncover the true connection between Head, the air cylinders, and the technology that litters the world so that you can save Head no matter the cost.
Finding your way through Airhead's world is not always easy. You must brave dark caverns, ancient structures, and other mysterious locations in order to save Head.
Along the way, you will find new abilities, and uncover new areas and puzzles, and if you go even farther afield, who knows what hidden truths you may stumble upon?
As you explore, you will encounter numerous puzzles involving the environment, strange creatures, and old technology to challenge your logic and creativity.
Everything is there for a reason and can be overcome by piecing together the puzzle and understanding the rules of Airhead's strange world.
Body and Head must work together to accomplish their goal, and as time passes, their bond and abilities will grow. What will you do to preserve their companionship?
And when the impact of your choices becomes clear, are you willing to shoulder the consequences of saving a friend?

I'm on a verge with this one. There's so many things done bad in this game but a the same time there are great things too. I'll go with the positive because I would love to see another game from those people to see if they can improve and deliver a true masterpiece. To sum up my experience - I softlocked in the middle of the game because the solution to one puzzle was a blocker for another. I had so much fun with the puzzles it didn't deter me from starting a new game and finishing it but with a heart on my shoulder whenever I did something that didn't feel "by design". A few things that will be useful (no spoilers): - Game has backup saves (accessed from Load section) but considering how the save system works, do manual backups from time to time. - You can continue playing after the ending so don't worry If you want to find everything. - Works nicely on Steam Deck (although eats battery a bit faster than I would expect) - I would finish game in 7-8h if not for a softlock6 found this helpful
Not for me because I don't enjoy the constant running out of air mechanic (timer). Seems well put together though.4 found this helpful
I've enjoyed this game. Not at the beginning but it grew on me.1 found this helpful
The game has a lot of great ideas and an interesting art style. Movement is pleasantly fast which is not common for this type of game. But unfortunately there is an annoying amount of jank. A lot of times I was stuck to an obstacle and couldn't move. Platform detection doesn't work properly. Cutscenes didn't play correctly, only when restarted from a checkpoint. And several other problem occured as well. If it wasn't for these bugs, this could be a really great game and an easy recommendation. EDIT: got softlocked near the end. Thanks for the wasted time!1 found this helpful
Think INSIDE but with platforming puzzles. It could've benefit from more involving background and player connection to the hero. Should be rated higher and if you liked INSIDE you'll enjoy this one.
Beautiful and charming game, I like the atmosphere and the main character(s?) are really engaging. The controls are intuitive and movement feels smooth and responsive. But the reason I stopped after not getting very far into the game was because of the introduction of the timed mechanic of running out of air. I know there's plenty of gamers out there who enjoy feeling rushed, I'm just not one of them.
