I like the presentation and the characters are cute, but past that I found that overall, it was little more than just passable as a platformer. Most of the hats feel lackluster in utility besides the sprint cap, and I just don't think the platforming was very inspired, and was also overall way too easy. I also had a lot of mishaps with the camera and, despite the overall great amount of polish, there were some areas of the game that felt a little rough around the edges.

Overall a fun game, but I just don't feel like it has any one thing it really excels at compared to other game of the genre. I would love a sequel that tried to push boundaries more and give the Hat Kid a more fleshed out moveset. It's the type of series/world where I would be severely disappointed if this was the only time we ever saw it.
