A Hat In Time Previewed

March 26th - via: cliqist.com
When I first saw A Hat in Time, it was love at first sight, so if you’re looking for the one person on the internet who didn’t like the game, you’re looking in the wrong place. I don’t even know where you’d look. Maybe check a prison built entirely to house joy-hating, evil people, because this game is pure, unfiltered happiness. It’s beautiful, it’s funny, it controls well, it sounds fantastic, and I’ve only seen an early Alpha build of the game. A Hat in Time brings us all back to a simpler time, when running around a happy, colorful world was fun all by itself because of thoughtful design and prioritizing fun above all else. (Read More)

William T. Nicholls Discusses A Hat In Time

March 23rd - via: cliqist.com
If you haven’t heard of A Hat in Time from international development team Gears for Breakfast then you haven’t been paying attention to crowdfunding for very long, and you’re missing out. Described as a “3D collect-a-thong platfomer, A Hat in Time conjures memories of Mario 64, Banjo Kazooie, Wind Waker, and other late 90′s early 2000′s platformers that so many gamers were raised on. We recently had a chance to take the recently released Alpha of A Hat in Time for a spin, something we’ll be telling you all about a little later this week, and talk to the team about the game and its development. (Read More)
