About this game
Inflatum (pronounced In-Flay-Tum) is a cozy 2.5D critter-rescue puzzle adventure where you don’t control the hero; you inflate the world around them.
Help a hedgehog, pangolin, or armadillo reunite with their stranded family by inflating trampolines, cushions, and balloons to bounce, shield, and lift them to safety. Sometimes the right move is to carefully inflate… and sometimes it’s to pop!
This game contains no AI-generated assets. Everything is handcrafted with care.
🦔 Three Playable Heroes
Hedgehog (Practice Mode): Learn the ropes with a sleepy critter who gives you tips in his dreams. Great for experimenting. No scores or penalties.
Pangolin (Standard Mode): The classic playthrough. Beat chapters, collect food, and climb the Steam leaderboards.
Armadillo (Challenge Mode): For puzzle masters. Most inflatables leak, so you’ll need perfect timing and clever sequencing.
🎈 Inflate, Deflate, Experiment!
Left click to inflate, right click to deflate.
Over-inflate to pop sometimes it’s a disaster, sometimes it’s the solution.
Use compressed air for stability or helium for lift.
Hidden inflatables are scattered around for you to discover and play with.

Known Issue. One known issue on release version 1.13:
The game is optimized for 16:9 Ratio, and the gas gauge may be slightly misaligned at ultra wide ratios.
Workaround: Switch to a 16:9 resolution supported by your display (for example 1920 x 1080, 2560 x 1440 or 3840x2160) and use Fullscreen or Borderless. If available, enable GPU or monitor scaling set to "Aspect ratio" to preserve 16:9 with pillar boxing.
Broader aspect ratios will be supported in future versions.
