A 2D party platformer where you fight with a hat! Throw your hat to attack, defend and bait opponents. But watch out! If someone jumps on your hat... you die!
The core gameplay revolves around using your hat as both a weapon and a weak point. You can throw your hat to attack opponents, but if an opponent jumps on your hat, you die. This creates a risk/reward dynamic, forcing players to carefully consider when to use their hat offensively versus defensively.
The controls are simple - just jump and throw your hat. However, reviewers praise the game's high skill ceiling, allowing for advanced techniques and tactics to emerge. Mastering movement, hat-throwing, and character matchups reveals deep, rewarding gameplay.
Each playable character has unique abilities and quirks that affect their playstyle. For example, the Snapback character's unusual movement is cited as a distinct challenge to master. This variety encourages players to experiment with different characters.
Matches are described as short but highly chaotic, with the risk/reward of the hat mechanic creating frenetic, high-stakes combat. Reviewers consistently praise the game's ability to deliver intense, nail-biting moments.
The simple foundation allows for multiple viable playstyles, from aggressive hat-throwing tactics to more defensive, hat-protecting strategies. This versatility appeals to a wide range of players, from casual to competitive.
In addition to the core multiplayer experience, the game offers single-player Arcade and Golf modes. These allow players to hone their skills and explore the mechanics in a solo setting before taking their hat-throwing prowess online.
