Discover the secrets of a beautiful post-apocalyptic platformer with Airhead.
International indie publisher HandyGames today released Airhead, a Metroidvania-style puzzle platformer set in a beautiful but dangerous world filled with ancient technology.
The exploration of loss, decay and hope, developed by Octato and Massive Miniteam, is available for PC, Amazon Luna, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S at a price of 19.99 euros.
Players take control of Body, a headless creature that Head finds in a cave shortly after being separated from his symbiotic counterpart. Body, presumed dead, takes Head’s life onto his shoulders and takes the player on a journey through the industrial post-apocalypse, filling Head with air bottles he finds along the way to sustain his life.
The dangerous world holds many secrets and obstacles to overcome, and when the time comes and the consequences of their decisions become clear, Body must decide whether he is willing to face the consequences to save a friend’s life .
As they explore various locations such as dark caves, ancient ruins and abandoned factories, players discover ancient technologies to use and encounter a variety of strange creatures.
Players must solve puzzles that challenge their logic and creativity while unlocking upgrades and abilities to bring Airhead ever closer to his goal and discover the truth behind Head’s connection to this world.
