About the game
A HAT IN TIME is an action and adventure game developed by Gears for Breakfast. The game is played from a third-person point of view. It is set in an open-world and is inspired by 3D games like Super Mario. The game is available on multiple platforms. The Windows version of the game was released on October 5th, 2017. It is available in both single-player and multiplayer modes.
The game involves collecting timepieces that are spread in different places. Collecting more of these timepieces allow you to open new levels to play. There are puzzles to complete and many collectibles to pick up in the game. You can increase your abilities in the game by picking up currency and relics. There is also a special challenge mode, known as Death Wish, available as part of the game.
Game plot and storyline
The central character in the game is Hat Kid, a little girl who is traveling home on a spaceship. Magical timepieces power the ship. Hat Kid gets into a fight with the mafia, and they break her spaceship door, causing her to lose all the timepieces. Without timepieces, she cannot go home. The game is all about Hat Kid trying to find the timepieces so that she can return home.
Hat Kid goes to Mafia town to look for the timepieces. There she finds Mustache Girl, who agrees to help Hat Kid find the timepieces in exchange for her help in fighting the Mafia. The two girls pair up and fight the Mafia. One of the main features of this part of the game is the fight to defeat the Mafia boss. After defeating the mafia, Mustache girl has a tiff with Hat Kid, and both set out to find the timepieces on their own.
There are many chapters in the game, introducing new characters. There are friends who help Hat Kid in her mission. There are many kinds of enemies whom she encounters, and she needs to use her umbrella to fight them off. A Spirit Snatcher, a Director of DJ Grooves, and the Crime Boss Empress are other characters in the game. After finding the pieces, Hat Kid has to take on Mustache girl to finish the game. She can get help from her enemies for this.
The gameplay
The gameplay involves the main character Hat Kid moving around trying to find timepieces. You need to make her run, jump, and collect many objects to move ahead in the game. The game controls are smooth, and the animation is good, allowing you to enjoy the gameplay. One of the elements of the gameplay is the ‘hat.’ There are many hats to wear, each of which comes with a special ability, affecting the gameplay.
The game is divided into chapters and missions, each of which has unique backgrounds, characters, and game elements. Interestingly, you can skip a chapter if you don’t like it, but then it increases your difficulty as the game progresses. Each of the chapters has unique missions with varying difficulty levels that offer challenges. Finding the timepieces is, of course, the main goal of the game – there are a total of 40 of them.
There is a lot of creativity that has gone into the game. One of the worlds is based on Agatha Christie’s epic detective novel ‘Murder on the Orient Express.’ Another interesting element in the game is that when you finish off an enemy, they drop ‘pons.’ These pons are the currency that you can use to buy hats and pick up collectibles.
While some levels are easy and great fun, others can be frustrating; the option to skip chapters is a good one. You can add pins to your hat to give yourself more powers. There are rewards hidden all over the place for you to find. It is a slow game but extremely satisfying to play, thanks to all the fun-filled game elements.
