Bizarre Minimalistic Platforming Adventure: Airhead Review
"Airhead" is a premium adventure game developed by Octato, offering a side-scrolling platforming adventure set in a dark interconnected world. Players embody a bipedal organism with a balloon-like head, navigating through a perilous environment. Reminiscent of titles like Inside and Limbo, Airhead provides a dark and atmospheric experience with challenging puzzles and a Metroidvania-like open world filled with secrets.
Players take on the role of a dark creature named Body, who uses a balloon-like organism as a head. To survive, they must keep the head inflated with air cylinders while exploring the mysterious land. The game presents platforming challenges, ancient machines, and creatures obstructing the path. Players must learn new abilities, solve puzzles, and leverage the head's unique floating nature to progress. Exploration uncovers secret areas, enriching the narrative, although time-bound situations add a sense of urgency to gameplay.
