Shocking that I liked this one, right? Pun aside, Elechead is adorable. That's the best way to describe my experience. I was just sitting down and playing an adorable game. This is going to be a shorter review, but this is admittedly a shorter game. This did not make the game any less fun.
The controls are so simple. Move, jump, and throw your head. Your head is a battery, so you can use it to send electric currents to places and use it to your advantage. Unfortunately, you can't survive without your head forever. This leads to a lot of fun puzzles where you have to try and redirect your electricity (and in some cases, try to NOT get shocked).
Unlike a lot of games I've played, this one gets right to the point. You don't need to sit through a long opening. It's just start the game and go. This means there are no long tutorials or anything. There are just text boxes that show up in the background. Longer openings work for some games, but I do appreciate that Elechead just starts.
I actually came across Elechead by pure chance like Everhood before it. I just happened to see Elechead in a presentation, and when I heard it was developed by just one person, I had to check it out. Cave Story was made by just one guy too, so I was sure this would at least be good.
This is honestly one of the cutest games ever. Play it. It's short, sweet and worth your time. The mascot is adorable. The soundtrack is a bop. Just play it. It's pretty cheap too, if I recall. If it's not, it's still worth it. Go pick it up. Do it. Go right now. Really, stop reading this review and go find it.
