Our take on Hatup
The defining mechanic is deciding when to wear the hat and when to leave it behind: each choice changes which passages are open and how the stage can be crossed.
What is Hatup?
Hatup is a casual action-adventure game built around solving challenges with a hat.
Progress through stages by using different mechanics and deciding when to wear or leave the hat behind. Some passages open only while the hat is worn, while others require it to be removed. Map elements let the hat be taken off the character, allowing interaction with objects and access to new areas. The game presents challenges across multiple difficulty levels and makes the hat central to navigating each stage.
