- Overhauled all areas surrounding a certain kind of collectible to contain more hidden lore
- Visual improvements all around the game
Airhead
Update Notes For Apr 30
The Location Name Update!
The main focus of this update is the new location name feature. You can now see the name of each location displayed on the screen as you enter it and save at an air cylinder there. This will make it easier to understand where you are in the game and – should you need to look up a solution for a puzzle – makes it easier to find the right spot in walkthroughs or guides.
Additionally, we’ve worked to improve the balancing of some puzzles a bit and have decreased the amount of air Head loses while filled with heavy air by 20%, which makes the timing on some tricky sections more forgiving!
We’ve also improved some visuals and fixed a lot of bugs. See the full changelog below for everything the update contains!
Full changelog:
- Location names are now displayed when saving in a new area for the first time
- Head now loses air 20% slower while being filled with heavy air
- Heavily improved visuals during a certain secret ending
- Updated several shadows in the game to look better
- Improved look of water and glass surfaces on low-quality settings

- Fixed a soft lock where players were able to bypass an obstacle without having an Airhunter help them.
- Fixed a possible soft lock that occurred when players bypassed the first room in the mines with a well-timed double jump.
- Fixed a possible soft lock where a cleaner would block an elevator on the roof of the left tower.
- Fixed a soft lock related to quickly jumping off of a moving rope in the mine
- Fixed an issue where tutorials would sometimes not fully disappear from the screen

We hope you continue to have a great time with Airhead!
