About the Game
Airhead is an adventure through a sprawling interconnected world, where you must explore, evolve and overcome intricate puzzles to succeed.
You play as Body, a small creature who meets a round, inflated organism and uses it as a head. And while Head is slowly but surely deflating, you have a chance to save its life.
To do so, you need to use air cylinders to keep Head inflated while you explore Airhead’s interconnected world and learn about its secrets.
On your adventure, it will be up to you to uncover the true connection between Head, the air cylinders, and the technology that litters the world so that you can save Head no matter the cost.
Finding your way through Airhead's world is not always easy. You must brave dark caverns, ancient structures, and other mysterious locations in order to save Head.
Along the way, you will find new abilities, and uncover new areas and puzzles, and if you go even farther afield, who knows what hidden truths you may stumble upon?
As you explore, you will encounter numerous puzzles involving the environment, strange creatures, and old technology to challenge your logic and creativity.
Everything is there for a reason and can be overcome by piecing together the puzzle and understanding the rules of Airhead's strange world.
Body and Head must work together to accomplish their goal, and as time passes, their bond and abilities will grow. What will you do to preserve their companionship?
And when the impact of your choices becomes clear, are you willing to shoulder the consequences of saving a friend?

The Location Name Update!
We’ve been hard at work on Airhead since it launched a while ago and today we can proudly release a new patch that will enhance the world of Airhead even more! The main focus of this update is the new location name feature. You can now see the name of each location displayed on the screen as you enter it and save at an air cylinder there. This will make it easier to understand where you are in the game and – should you need to look up a solution for a puzzle – makes it easier to find the right spot in walkthroughs or guides. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35100421/05d6719c6507b8df8d8ad042322e70d01b22d006.png Additionally, we’ve worked to improve the balancing of some puzzles a bit and have decreased the amount of air Head loses while filled with heavy air by 20%, which makes the timing on some tricky sections more forgiving! We’ve also improved some visuals and fixed a lot of bugs. See the full changelog below for everything the update contains!

Fixed a possible soft lock that occurred when players bypassed the first room in the mines with a well-timed double jump. Fixed a possible soft lock where a cleaner would block an elevator on the roof of the left tower. Fixed a soft lock related to quickly jumping off of a moving rope in the mine Fixed an issue where tutorials would sometimes not fully disappear from t...Read full article on Community Announcements (HG_Yona)Patch NotesOfficial
