About Top Hat
The story is about a golden top hat that has been stolen from our Hero. Now he has to to get it back. On his adventure the Hero will visit seven worlds, each one with his own graphic style.
The hero will meet many kinds of NPCs:
- we will help a guy with lost wallet,
- drink many bottles of rum with a pirate captain,
- smoke some strange tobacco with an old guy in the desert
and more! In the game we have seven kinds of weapon. Some are meant for killing and some for changing the game mechanics e.g.
- a platform gun, which shoots platforms, of course on which we can jump,
- a freeze gun which, of course, freezes our enemies.
The game is meant to be hard and addictive, so if you were playing much on NES as a child it's a perfect choice for you.
Game Features:
- Seven worlds, each with 3 levels and a boss to fight (from fourth stage each level is divided on two parts).
- Each stage contains its own graphics style.
- Seven kinds of weapons, for example a platform gun which shoots platforms that you cam jump on.
- Mini quests.
- Funny cutscenes and other stuff.
- Awesome chiptune soundtrack made by Jakim.
- ACHIEVEMENTS. YAY.
- WE WILL PLAY ON YOUR NOSTALGY FEELINGS, BRO.
- Challenging. Really.

This retro-style pixel art platformer delivers solid mechanics, charming chiptune music, and nostalgic NES-era difficulty that appeals to genre fans, with creative level design and an affordable price point. However, players frequently report frustrating technical issues including framerate problems and crashes, while some find the difficulty curve unfairly punishing in certain levels and feel the controls could be tighter.
A bit tough at times but definitely a good action platformer. The music fits perfectly, the pixel art style is well done, and the mechanics feel solid. Has a bit of a story to it and some memes mixed in here and there. The stages were mostly fun and well designed with just a few that left a sour taste. Pretty solid game for a buck!16 found this helpful

A nostalgic 2D action-adventure platformer that throws you right into old NES era difficulty with its blend of pixel graphics, upbeat chiptune soundtrack, and punishing platforming. The visuals, chiptune music, and varied world themes really lean into that nostalgic vibe. Tools like the platform gun add puzzle platforming flair beyond simple running and jumping. Affordable price makes it a low risk purchase if you’re curious about retro platformers. Tough difficulty although game is positioned as challenging, but some levels and bosses feel punishingly unfair, especially with the controls being a little loose. Best suited for retro platformer fans who don’t mind a steep difficulty curve and some technical rough edges. At its low price, it’s a fun experiment but temper expectations if you're looking for polished modern precision.
