Hatris is a puzzle video game developed by Alexey Pajitnov, creator of famous video game Tetris. In Hatris, the falling blocks of Tetris are replaced by falling hats which are top hats, cowboy hats, baseball caps, derbys, party hats and crowns. The setting is a hat factory, where hats are dropped down from a conveyor belt two at a time and must be stacked on one of six mannequin heads. Once five hats of the same kind have been stacked on top of each other, they fall down onto another conveyor belt below and are shipped out of the factory, rewarding the player with a cash bonus (the game keeps track of score as money, not simply points). Once you ship out enough hats out of the shop, you go up a level to the next shop. The higher shop number you get to, the more types of hats start appearing to make it more difficult for you to accomplish your task. The game ends when one of your stacks of hats reaches the top of the screen.

It's a silly design, but I think it was missing one more component to be a compelling puzzle game. Dr. Mario did it better.

Better than how it feels the first time. Took me almost ten hours to be in 3rd position in the ranking. After that I think I won't play it again but it really deserves to be played, it is different :)

Better than you'd think just going by the name. That the types of hats have different stacking properties (overall height vs brim height), and that the player can split pairs of hats, adds some strategy to proceedings, as do the fireballs (unreliable but appreciated when they crop up) and the fire sales (they keep you waiting on them for quite some time, but they're an absolute lifesaver if you play smartly). It's got nothing on Tetris, of course - there's an inherent whimsy to Hatris's theming that limits its universal appeal, which you also can't remove from Hatris without fundamentally changing the game the way Tetris's theming is different from game to game. But it's a solid enough follow-up act.

あまり好かれないゲームという印象があるけど、音楽も楽しいしデザインも素敵だと思う。

Imagine getting this for Christmas
