How it feels
A fast and funny side-scroller where you fling a disembodied head between robotic bodies in a retro-futuristic world.

What players say
Players praise Headlander's creative premise of playing a flying head that steals robot bodies, but split on the execution. Many say the combat feels shallow and the backtracking tedious, while the short length and stylish 80s sci-fi art keep it from overstaying its welcome. A few note there are only two bosses.
