The 2020 indie platformer Hayfever has permanently removed its price tag on Steam, becoming entirely free to play for PC users.
Finding quality games that cost nothing to add to your library is always a win for your back catalog. As reported by GameRant, the retro inspired 2D platformer Hayfever has officially dropped its price tag on Steam, transitioning into a completely free-to-play title. Originally launched back in 2020 by developer Pixadome with a base price of $14.99, the game has quietly made the jump to zero dollars on Valve's storefront, though it still retains its standard price on PlayStation and Nintendo Switch.
While the team behind the game announced a development hiatus a few years ago, the sudden shift gives platformer fans a great reason to jump in. Hayfever offers plenty of content for a free title, featuring four distinct worlds, 140 levels, and 240 collectibles. The game stands out from the crowded indie platformer scene by building its mechanics around a unique central gimmick, using allergies and pollen reactions as power-ups that alter how the protagonist moves through each stage.
For players who enjoy precision platformers in the vein of Celeste or Super Meat Boy, this price drop is worth taking advantage of. It is another solid addition to the rotation of PC freebies currently available across various launchers, giving the community a substantial indie adventure to check out without spending a dime.
