    A symbiote is torn in two in a cave by a mysterious machine. Working together with a headless body, the remaining half must find its way through a complex metroidvania-style world filled with puzzles to be reunited with its vital other half.

    Airhead is an adventure through a sprawling interconnected world, where you must explore, evolve and overcome intricate puzzles to succeed.

    You play as Airhead, a small Body and the round inflated organism it uses as a Head. And while Head is slowly but surely deflating, you have a chance to save its life.

    To do so, you must use air tanks to keep Head inflated while you explore Airhead's metroidvania-style world, searching for amazing abilities and upgrades that will unlock new areas and puzzles for you to overcome.

    On your adventure, it will be up to you to uncover the true connection between Head, the air tanks, and the technology that litters the world, so you can save Head no matter the cost.

    Airhead from publisher HandyGames and developers Octato and Massive Miniteam is a gorgeous and challenging puzzle platformer that will put your brain to the test, as a good puzzle platformer should. The difficulty at times might frustrate some players, but the juice is certainly worth the mental squeeze.

    Airhead leaves nothing to be desired in what it proposes. Although there is no combat, the gameplay offers other satisfying mechanics. It has interesting puzzles, even if it sometimes traps the player in solving some of the more complicated ones. Unfortunately, there are some annoying bugs present, which if resolved will make the game even better.

    Airhead is based on an original idea and has some clever puzzles and vivid graphics. Yet these qualities are not enough to redeem a short and forgettable experience. Unfortunately, the puzzles can become quite frustrating due to the bugs and glitches the developers failed to remedy. Overall Airhead would be a decent game if it would not be so short. Still if you look past all the shortcomings and you focus on the original idea, a really original world awaits you that can be engaging to explore after some more polishing from the developers.
