Top Hat

As a fan of retro platformers, I thought I was going to like this game, but I find myself disappointed, instead. The playing area of the screen is very small, making it extremely difficult, even with the full-screen option enabled, to see things as clearly as is necessary. The cutesy pixel-graphics combined with the small "playing field" make it very difficult to see. Also, I tend to prefer it when there is not a tutorial, unless game mechanics are complex enough to warrant a tutorial, so the developers including the text "tutorial" with button instructions seems like an odd and unnecessary choice. Additionally, the controls are not what I would consider intuitive or smooth. I had difficulty moving and jumping at the same time on many occasions. Jumping height and distance were not consistent, and the button layout for the controller is awkward. I'd consider giving this game another try if some of these issues are resolved.

Fun at first, then the unbelieveable amount of cheap and frustrating level design wore me down. Hazards, traps and hidden enemies paired with an punishing and archiac lives system meant I had to give up.

I bought this game in DRM free version, and choice is simple - if you love challenging platformers - buy Top Hat. It's really hard but also satisfying. Must have position on your retro game list.

Had a cool retro feel, but all the little bad things added up made me give up on it pretty quickly. Little things like no controller support, every time I go back to the menu it changes to stretched full screen. the fact that it's [level]-[world] instead of [world]-[level], and the dialog sounds like it was written by a 12-year old. Really needs more polish.

A bit tough at times but definitely a good action platformer. The music fits perfectly, the pixel art style is well done, and the mechanics feel solid. Has a bit of a story to it and some memes mixed in here and there. The stages were mostly fun and well designed with just a few that left a sour taste. Pretty solid game for a buck!

好难操作。 It's difficult to operate.

[h1] Tiny platformer with some minuscule hat dude. Not recommended. [/h1]

I bought this game today and I was playing it for 30 minutes, I'm enjoying everything: Gameplay and performance: 8/10, very fast movement response, the only bad thing is: I notice a little bit lag/freezing every few seconds during the gameplay, It makes me fall from moving platforms and is very annoying. :-(. Hope you can fix this. (anyone has the same problem?) Graphics and interface: 8/10, beautiful pixelated style, colorful environment. The enemies and the player are very cute too. (The game needs a better screen resolution options because when you select the full screen option the game gets a little bit blured). Level design: 10/10, very good. well designed. Music: 10/10, I love chiptune music and I can said that the music of Top Hat is very good. In general, the game need some improvement but if you like pixelated platform retro games you must buy this game, you will enjoy it. General: 9/10 Pd: The ingame steam interface (shift+tab) is in bad position in any screen resolution.

[h1]Описание:[/h1] Обычный платформер. Прыгаем, стреляем, стараемся избегать ловушек, бьем боссов. Это лучше чем треш платформеры коими кишит стим, но и хуже любого более менее нормального платформера, в который вложили хоть немного сил. Прыжки заедают, уровни однообразны, боссы неинтересные. Тухлый проходняк, в который не захотелось игра больше чем пара уровней. Ничего хорошего сказать о игре и не могу... Очень не понравилось.

Neat oldschool platformer. I like that there is no time limit and all weapons are useful in certain circumstances (my favorite is platform gun, least favorite: upgraded shotgun). Story is silly, graphics and music are cool, just the right length and difficulty. My complaint is that it was slow on netbook. Game that looks and feels like something from 16 bit era should run smoothly on low end hardware. I'm glad that I got it from Pixel magazine.
