Some of us can pull off the hat look, some of us just looove hats, and some of us really want to get into the cool new hotspot that everyone is frequenting. It's no fun being left out. If you want to join The Top Hat Club then you better well have yourself a top hat. In this platform puzzler by David Durham, such an accomplishment is both simple and tricky. There's the hat, right within—sort of within—well, not always just within reach. Besides the typical platforming feats that you need to perform, a number of obstructions, such as disintegrating tiles, villains tossing barrels, and button-triggered walls will block your path.
Using arrows or [WASD] to move, pick up, and enter, and the [spacebar] to jump, your goal is to reach the club entrance with hat firmly on your head. Oh, did I say firmly? Any little bump can knock it off, but if you can act quickly and with agility, you'll saunter through the twenty-five stages unscathed. Whether to you it's easy or challenging, you'll be charmed by the "old school gaming values," vintage-style celluloid graphics (film reel jitters can be offed via "options") and many other player pleasing touches which bespeak quality production all the way—so give it a hats off and join in the fun!
