A Hat on Time
The Conductor's train went off the rails near the desolate plains of Ash Town, so Hat Kid has returned to the planet to make sure her friends are okay, and to find a mysterious relic! Grab all 30 time pieces in this short platformer, based on the game A Hat in Time!
Arrow Keys: Walk
Z: Jump
X: Hookshot (when near a hook)
This fangame was created for #DEMAKEJAM. All characters and music are recreated homages to content in the original game. Buy A Hat in Time here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/253230/A_Hat_in_Time/

Decided to speedrun the game and ended up getting an 85!
I personally love watching speedruns (and have occasionally dabbled in speedrunning myself), so this makes me SO happy to see. Great run, and thanks for showing it off! :D
this is really fun! though for some reason the jump some times doesn't work, maybe I'm too close to the edges probably a me error.
Hi Nikatto! I'm sure it's more an issue with the coding than an issue with what you're doing on your end. Thanks for playing and I'm super glad you had fun!
i cant download :(
Hey GOKU!
I've added a downloadable binary folder that you can find in the 'Download' section above. You should now be able to download and play the game on Windows, Mac, and Linux if you'd like! Hopefully this is helpful for you. :)
Really really fun AND challenging!
Awesome to see the game played on a handheld! Thanks for sharing this :)
LETS GO I finally got the deathless, for some reason i cant post the screenshot so heres the video
Woo! That's so awesome! Congratulations! :D
Makes me super happy to see someone play the game so well :)
got all time pieces and 911 deaths somehow.
lets gooooooooo a feellow a hat in time fan
I love Hat in Time so much! I've played all the way through the main story probably 5 times, honestly. Such a classic.
tbh i have it on my switch
223.9321 wr all time pices
Nice! :D
i thought this was the real game and there is like a developer thats making a game thats kinda the same. and some one said it looked like a hat in time then i saw this game and i played it. (it was good) and thought wait a minute this do not look like the game someone said was kinda the same.
Thanks for playing, mycomputerisbad! Yeah, this fangame is based on characters from A Hat in Time - I made it for Demake Jam a few years back - the gameplay is pretty far removed from the original, though the hookshot is actually a move in the real game! Thanks again for playing and commenting, I appreciate it! :)
Music & SFX doesn't work if doesn't press Carts button (only in Firefox case).
Hi Ofihombre! Sorry that the Music & SFX don't work immediately for you - it's likely an issue with PICO-8 in your version of Firefox. You may need to play in a different browser to avoid that issue in the future. Hope you still enjoy the game!
It isn't only a Firefox problem, Chromium browsers also affected.
This weird mistake is affecting many old Pico-8 games outside from the official website.
Yeah I am on the Firefox Developer edition and SFX isn't working
Hey Miles! I think the issue may be fixed; some browsers don't allow media to play audio if it's set to auto-play. I've adjusted my games to require users to press 'play game' before starting, which seems to have fixed the issue (at least on my version of Firefox). Hope it helps on your end!
thanks eggnog good game btw
Ayy loved the game
Hi Rom! Glad you enjoyed it. :)
Time: 533.8691
Deaths: 94
Time Pieces: 30
Hey, 94 deaths isn't bad at all! Thanks for playing. :)
I got all the time pieces in 880 seconds (143 deaths) for my first try, I think it's ok ! It's a really cool short game and the mechanics are fun to use, congrats !
Thanks Mairy_Fairy! Glad you had fun. :)
celeste + a hat in time
i love it
Thanks so much for playing, FlowRick! Glad you had fun. :)
it’s a cool game, i enjoy :3
my only issue was the input delay. i thought it would be because i’m running it in the browser, but there’s no download for me to run it standalone.
about 160 deaths in 671s, but most were from dying on respawn into a short platform. maybe a short delay before the respawn might solve this.
Hi Wilker! Glad you enjoyed the game. You're right about the respawn delay, 100%. The game does indeed run better in the PICO-8 app, which you can buy directly from Lexaloffle. It's worth buying if you enjoy PICO-8 games, since it's really fun to browse and find new stuff from inside the app. Thanks again for playing!
i'm gonna find you and kill you
pls do not
its really fun and gives me a lot of celeste classic vibes! i have played through it twice now getting all 30 time pieces!
I absolutely LOVE Celeste and Celeste Classic, so that really made my day to hear. Glad you had fun with it, PugBoyHayden. :)
Great little game. The difficulty was spot on for such a small game. I liked the style and music, although some characters was completely unrecognizable. But that's also hard with such low res.
All in all well done :)
Thanks so much for playing, PowerDuDe! Really appreciate the detailed feedback. :)
A pleasure to help ☺️
WAT THE FRREACK
Interesting game, but the basic movement controls were relatively stiff for a platformer.
Thanks for playing, Joshua7689! Yeah, the controls aren't at 100% on this project. Sorry they were a hassle for you. Appreciate the feedback! :)
Really fun Little Game!
Aside from the controls...Hi RaZere! Sorry the controls didn't hit the spot for you - they could definitely use some coyote time for more forgiving jumps, and a little pause after a death. Thanks for playing. :)
i finished with 106 deaths all pieces (of course) with a time of: 643.6252. i think i did pretty good for my first time :D
Hey, that's not bad at all! Getting all the time pieces and getting through is a valiant effort, I'm so glad that you had fun! :)
thnx
nice
Thanks Hat Kid! :)
No Problem! sorry I didn't reply earlier lol
this game is cool, though the controls sometimes don't work. Its mainly the jump button, but idk if the devs meant for this to happen. it may even be my computer lol
Hi WifuWaffle! There are two causes which might be the issue - one is that the framerate doesn't run super fast in some browsers, so you can definitely try it in another or download the PICO-8 version (if you're willing to spend $15 on the PICO-8 Fantasy Console). There's also a chance that your jumps aren't working when you run off a cliff because I didn't program coyote time into the physics here. My future games will all have coyote time though, so that will help in the future!
Thanks for giving the game a shot. :)
I know you commented this two weeks ago, but I just wanted to say thanks for responding to me :) also, I will check out your oher games :)
Hey, you had the courtesy to play my game and leave me a comment, it's the least I can do! Thanks again :)
This game was so so fun!
The 29th level was enraging LOL but I really enjoyed playing this! Me and my boyfriend were vibing HARD to the soundtrack! I really liked this game!
Thanks so much fleurie! :) It makes me happy that you and your boyfriend enjoyed the music so much. The music's a chiptune version of A Hat in Time's Battle of the Birds level, so if you haven't played AHiT, check it out! :)
Your game actually made us play AHiT and we loved it! We've already completed most of it and have been non stop playing for the past two days! When we were in the movie production level he was like omg its the music from the game you played LOL!!
Well, if that isn't what I got into making games for, I don't know what is. Glad you checked out AHiT because of this, that makes me really happy. :)
fart this game
I respect your opinion :P
i dare someone to beat this
Time Pieces:30
Deaths:29
Total Time:225.5555(no joke)
Its Still A Very Good Game To Speedrun And To Play Casually
Thanks for playing, TheRedVirus! :)

Only 24 deaths? Nice job!

Thanks for playing, SandwichBlamwich! Always nice to hear positive feedback. :)
i played the real game i think this might be better (keyword might)
Thanks for playing, sans! :)
np
really good game
Thanks cactus head! :)
Really good!
Thanks RetroBoi128! :)
i love the "Gears for Lunch" joke. i had fun playing this waiting for class. Thanks, and stay safe!
Ha, I'm glad somebody picked up on that lil joke! Glad you had some fun with it, thanks so much for playing! :)
This is a good game, and I also found a speedrun strat where when you respawn you can do like a little jump and get to places
Thanks for playing, TheBoldActionMan! That's a cool find, I bet there's lots of interesting tricks you could pull off with that!
When I was in eight grade, my friends and I used to speedrun this to see who could get the fastest, all 30, no deaths score.
Whew, no deaths, that's a feat! Makes me happy to know you and your friends played this together. :) That's what video games are all about to me. Thanks for playing and for the comment!
418 all time pieces
95 deaths (5 less than last time!)
Hey, 95 ain't bad! Thanks for playing, blozheadz781!

Thanks for playing! :)

Hey, that's a pretty good score! Thanks for playing. :)
I like it and has that same humor and charm of AHIT
Hi PrincessLuna! Thanks for playing, I'm glad that you picked up on the humor! I tried my best to make it match AHiT's style of writing. :)
You did a great job on that.
Also the game was a good challenge
I got all 30 first time! It was fun.
Hi skiscratcher! Glad you had fun with it. :)
