Title
Where's your head at?!
A mediocre metroidvania, in which you play as a robot head that can take pocession of robot bodies, which is used as keys to advance the story.

The combat is pretty bad, the level design simplistic and with very badly hidden powerups. The story has some fun moments, if you are into the Double Fine band of comedy.

Visually its got some bad chromatic aberration that can hurt the eyes of those most sensible. At least its not pixel art.
Audio is fine for the most part, though i muted the music to play my own.

Overal a mediocre and forgettable experience anyway you look at it, i only really played it because i had exhausted pratically all other metroidvania options.
