See that head with the jetflame coming out of it? Yep, that’s you. Aptly enough, the game is called Headlander.
In Headlander, you, as a head, land on various bodies, taking them over — thus netting you all kinds of new abilities, be that new weapons, new methods of locomotion, or dance moves. The game itself is categorised as a side-scrolling action adventure (Metroidvania), with a colourful retro sci-fi aesthetic. Have a look for yourself:
It will be out next year on “PC and consoles”. Until then, have a few screenshots:
