A Hat in Time Launch Trailer, My Thoughts

In 2017, digital storefront Humble Bundle released the Gears for Breakfast-developed game A Hat in Time. The game was inspired by classic 3D platformers like Super Mario 64, Banjo-Kazooie, and Spyro the Dragon. The game told the tale of a little girl known only as "Hat Kid". Hat Kid must help defeat a planet's Mafia while trying to collect her lost "time pieces", little magical hourglasses powering her spaceship so she can return to her home.

The game would get critical praise, as well as become a sales smash. It has sold over one million copies by December 2018. Originally released for PCs, it has gone on to hit the PlayStation 4, Xbox One...and now, the Nintendo Switch! Let's look at the launch trailer!


Don't you just hate it when someone just busts in through your window? Hat Kid's learned just what it's like to live in the world of an action movie.

That safe does not seem very reliable if the door just busts open from some wind.

This game looks cute.

That's a big slab of beef. Ah well, fun twist on the iconic Indiana Jones scene.

Your Mafia must be terrible if it can be taken down by a little girl wearing a big hat and wielding an umbrella. You know, as a kid, I had an idea for a video game that involved the main character using various umbrellas for things.

Let's all take a ride on the train!

They're her hourglasses, ya jerk!

I like the idea of having different hats giving different abilities.

I'm reminded of some old 3D platformers looking at this. Which makes sense.

It would be neat if the outfits and hat flairs gave little bonuses, like being able to take an extra hit or can double jump.

The time rift levels make me think of Super Mario Sunshine or Super Mario Galaxy for some reason.

And free DLC! Nice!

Co-op? Awesome! Play with a friend!

And of course, the trailer ends with Hat Kid dancing on a Roomba.

Well, this game looks like a lot of fun. I think this one will definitely be on the list of games to try out. I hope there's a demo.

Thanks for reading this blog entry! If you liked it, spread it around! See you next time!
