ElecHead-Scratcher
Short but really clever puzzle platformer. If you are looking for 2 hours of fun ElecHead is a great choice.

Fun, but with frustrating flaws
ElecHead has a lot of good things going for it. The OST is fun (if few in track), the mechanics are well-implemented and it's got a nice visual style and theme going for it. I like the art direction. The puzzles aren't too hard, but at least will keep you occupied for a couple hours and they're satisfying to beat for the first time. However, it has a couple issues that make it extremely frustrating when combined: 1: Once you have cleared a room, it is not permanently cleared. If you leave and come back, you will have to do it all over again. Because some of the rooms rely on tight timing or you've forgotten how you beat them, it can be frustrating to go back and do them again. 2: Similar to above: Once you have discovered a secret area, it re-hides itself if you leave and come back later. (Also secret paths aren't marked any differently from normal paths) Those two combined would not be too bad, except those secret areas have collectibles, 20 in total. So if you want to go back and get one you missed, you will have to go back and do the regular rooms you've already beaten, then scour the area for any secret areas you MAY HAVE ALREADY FOUND, then if you do find them and you already beat that challenge, you'll often have to do it AGAIN because the game has locked you into that room until you beat it. "So just don't get the collectibles" 3: Oh sure. I would, if the game didn't lock the good ending behind the collectibles. >:( Those 3 together make the game un-recommendable from me. Fix any one of them, and it becomes almost an instant 4/5.

Nice and short puzzle-platformer
When I bought the game I thought the description was weird having no words. After completing the game I think it actually perfectly describes the game. You play as ElecHead, move from screen to screen and solve puzzles using basic platforming and your two abilities. First one is that your head generates an electrical current that runs through everything you touch, second one is the ability to launch your head a short distance forwards or upwards. There is no fighting, there is no story, there is no text to read. Difficulty progression is good. Later puzzles took me more time to figure them out, but I wasn't stuck on any for longer than a couple of minutes. All the puzzles are reasonable, I didn't encounter any nonsense. For people who like it, there are secrets hidden throughout the levels. I didn't bother collecting them all, so I don't know what the reward is. You can judge the artstyle from the screenshots. Soundtrack matches the visuals (chiptune). Overall I definitely recommend it if you like puzzle games. Was perfect for me to have an evening of relaxed gaming.

A fresh take on puzzle platform
Very clever and original little game. Retro style and beautiful music. A bit hard but satisfying. Too short, tho. But worths every penny.

Fantastic Indie Platformer
Played this first on Switch and it single-handedly revived the console for me. As someone who loves tightly designed puzzle platformers, this scratches that itch perfectly for me. Collecting the different color schemes adds some replayability value. If you're into short, great-looking, clever platformers, this game is 100% for you.
