Headlander is a genuinely great game!
A crazy and funny robot story tinted in a retro-futuristic style.
Despite being a metroidvania, you don't have the basic jump ability but instead your head flies around like from Futurama.
The lack of jump additionally creates more space for environmental platforming puzzles.
For a metroidvania it is quite light and short, can be completed in 5-6 hours.
(ignore my 18hrs, I fell asleep due to medicine again)
The dance moves are funky and different body Types you can take over are all unique and funny.
Such an underrated gem, I wouldn't have know if not for the rankings video on YT by "Cannot be Tamed".
Absolutely amazing and beautiful game!

KAMGUSTA'S MINI REVIEW
It's a fun and original Metroidvania where you can't jump, but you can fly and possess other bodies thanks to your flying head. There is everything you need: colourful graphics, some humor, a gradually scaling difficulty, some not too hard puzzles, secret areas (not too hard to find), upgrades (not hard to get), and a final boss fight. Cutscenes are a few and unobtrusive. Only now I get the highlander/headlander joke...
A 10 hours ride you'll be thankful to have been on.
Best played with joypad
Recommended buy price: 10$
Score: 8/10

Great creative spin on the Metroid concept. Being able to pop the head off of just about any robot that has one and pilot the body around leads to some really goofy situations. It also allows for a type of puzzle that the original Metroid couldn't have because you either have access to the tools or you don't. In Headspace, if you need a certain body to solve a puzzle, head out and find that body to bring back to the puzzle room.

I had a great time playing this game. It was short, but tons of fun while it lasted. 8.5/10.

From what I got with Headlander, I really cannot express how zany, fun and creative a title like this is. While it has been a while since playing this game, I'm really impressed how they handled areas like the world and its bizarre/dark humour and especially the combat.

There's always a surprise and charm to be had in this game and I do insanely recall an amazing part of the game where you come out feeling like a total BOSS by the end of it (no spoilers, heh).

Along with the phenomenal soundtrack that blends the future sci-fi and the retro feel of the bit of the 1960's vibe in there, there is so much that this game does to bring in the best possible experience for a gamer.

I also might suggest something like this to someone who is a Star Trek fan. I'm not even a Star Trek fan and I feel this fits that original Star Trek series so dastardly well. Double Fine really provided a unique vision and a one-of-a-kind experience here. Not a game of the year, but absolutely a gem you would be foolish not to have on your shelf. <3

Creative and very fun Metrovania type game. I love the visuals, the sound and the play mechanics. Great game!

Headlander is a kinda-metroidvania where you play as a severed head with jets in it that let you fly around. There are doors that require you to be in a body in order to cross. Sometimes, your body's color needs to correspond with that of the door in order to cross (e.g. if the door is green, then you must be in a green body). Some of these bodies carry guns, which you can use to shoot enemies. As you progress, you unlock combat abilities for both your head form and when you're controlling a body.
Almost everything about this game is good, but not particularly excellent-- good gameplay, good puzzles, good music, etc. Avoid this game if you're looking for a challenge, or an above-average story (I honestly ignored the story altogether, could not bring myself to care). But if you feel like playing a chill, funny, and unique game with an absolutely gorgeous and fairly unique aesthetic, then this is a hit.
TLDR: A short, simple, and competent metroidvania oozing with style.
