Launch into the ultimate head trip as you blast through psychotic robots in a retro 70's sci-fi action adventure from Double Fine Productions. It is a world of automation, a utopia gone wrong in which all of humanity have transferred their minds into robotic imposter bodies and are ruled by a computer.

In a retro-futuristic world ruled by a computer, you play as the last known human, reduced to a floating head. A special helmet lets you take control of robotic bodies as you search for clues to your past.
Travel through side-scrolling environments, detach from bodies to fly, and take over machine hosts to fight enemies and get past obstacles. Different bodies can open doors or use weapons that others cannot.
Explore connected areas, complete main and side quests, solve puzzles, and collect upgrades. A map and skill upgrades support your progress through the world.
Players who enjoyed Headlander often point to its body-switching mechanic, distinctive visual design, and puzzle-solving as highlights. Some also appreciate its relatively short length. Other reviews find the gameplay repetitive or the exploration too guided, and say the story and humor do not always land.
