ElecHead

ElecHead's controls involve two-dimensional movement and jumping. Elec, the player character, electrically charges all surfaces on contact, causing them to glow yellow. Electricity can activate various platforms and hazards, such as blocks with dotted outlines that appear when charged, lifts that move in a particular direction, and light bulbs that emit deadly electric currents. These mechanics are used to create puzzles that the player must complete in order to traverse between rooms, with some puzzles spanning multiple rooms.

Early in the game, the player is additionally granted the ability to throw the character's electrically-charged head a certain distance away. This allows the player to control the body, which does not conduct electricity. Failure to retrieve the head after ten seconds results in the player dying and respawning.

ElecHead was originally created as a prototype for a game jam equivalent in 2016, before eventually being expanded into a full release. There were originally ten stages, but it was cut down to six during development.

It was released on 14 October 2021 for PC, followed by a release on the Nintendo Switch on 23 June 2022 and the Xbox One on 23 March 2023. It was originally released while the developer was still studying at a game design school.

ElecHead received an honorable mention for the "Best Debut" category during the 22nd Game Developers Choice Awards, and it was also nominated for the "Best Game" award at the 2022 GameMaker awards. The game's original prototype was nominated for the "Award for Excellence" in the amateur division of the 2016 Japan Game Awards. It received "generally favorable" reviews according to the review aggregator Metacritic.

Christian Donlan of Eurogamer described it as "ingenious, but also compact", suggesting that it "guides you [and] prompts you to be at your cleverest". Katharine Castle of Rock Paper Shotgun wrote that it was "an absolute treat from start to finish".
