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.

Recommended buy price: 10$
Score: 8/10

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.

Really enjoyed this one. Nice gameplay, puzzles not very hard but challenging enough. Good humor and interesting story as well. Would give 8 out of 10.

The core gameplay mechanics are interesting, I just don't find the setting all that appealing.
Recommended on sale or if the specific vibe appeals to you.

If you've liked any Double Fine games (Psychonauts, Stacking, Brütal Legend, etc.) then this is another in a long line of must-plays. It's funny, ridiculous, and controls extremely well. It's easily one of the best floating head simulators you'll play this year.
