Airhead

Airhead differs from other metroidvanias in that you have to play as two creatures at once. The plot is presented with the help of silent cutscenes. The body falls into the abyss and ends up in caves. A mysterious humanoid, while exploring the dungeon, suddenly finds a head dying after a machine attack. And not a simple one, but an airy one and living separately. He unites with it and becomes an Airhead.

Taurus can swim, run and jump, climb and cling to vines, push and pull objects, and attach a new friend to itself. The head can fly (if you inflate it properly) and gain new abilities. The acquired skills visually change it. The head itself in Airhead must be regularly pumped with air from special cylinders so that it does not die from a lack of gas mixture. Two unusual heroes will have to join forces to mechanical antagonist and return the head to its former powers. Over time, their connection will grow stronger, which will increase gameplay diversity and allow you to find secrets.

The graphics are three-dimensional, but the camera is located on the side. Technically, the project can be classified as a 2.5D game. The gameplay involves exploring ruins and dungeons, solving puzzles, and platforming. Various obstacles will hinder the exploration of mysterious locations. To move on, you will need to unlock a certain skill. For example, a big-headed companion can learn to illuminate dark passages with bright light from its eyes. This will not only allow you to get into a previously inaccessible area, but will also scare off some opponents. Sometimes you will have to detach your head to get into certain parts of the levels – the same underwater zones. It is worth considering that the local fauna will try to steal it. Some creatures can help in the adventure, while others will become opponents.
