Were you born late 80s to early 90s? Did you play videogames when young? Did you own an N64? If so, you probably played some games like Banjo Kazooie, Banjo Tooie, Mario 64, Donkey Kong 64, various Spyro games, and some other games I can't think of.
Now if you were a somewhat smart child or one who had a soul at some point, I'm guessing you enjoyed these games. As did I. If all of this sounds reminiscent to you, you might enjoy the game now on kickstarter A Hat in Time.


Awwww yiss, look at that.

In recent times we've been lacking games based on the concept of collection. Of items, not monsters. The odd game comes out based around it but it's a void that few developers are willing to fill. So, when I heard of A Hat in Time I immediately said that it sounds fucking dumb and the devs should go kill themselves headed over to the Kickstarter that you can find here! [http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jonaskaerlev/a-hat-in-time-3d-collect-a-thon-platformer]

The basic premise for the game is that some evil girl with a mustache called Mustache Girl wants to use time for evil, so it's up to you the player (playing as HAT KID!) to stop her evil ways!

Yes that's a girl with a mustache. And one with a top hat. And some guy in the mafia.

If you haven't gathered yet the game looks like silly beautiful fun. It's all about collecting and there's lots of collecting to be done. Orbs, pins, hats, abilities, weapons, this game has it all. Thanks to Kickstarter funding there's going to be seven chapters in total (the last 3 of which will be decided by you! the backers (if you back which you should you scumbags)), each with several acts. But that's not it! More funding will give MORE EXTRAS. New game plus, traditional Rare game voice acting, a new hub world, and a song for one of the levels composed by none other than GRANT MOTHERFUCKING KIRKHOPE.

TWO HOURS OF PURE SILLY WONDERFUL BLISS

On top of all this, the game is already planned to have online and local Co-op, and if we get really lucky, possibly released on consoles down the line. With a new, unique co-op character!

Please, I beg you, if you have any interest in platformers whatsoever, at the very least give this game a look. It looks so fresh, so pretty, so fun, and for fuck's sake we need to get the word out to major developers that PEOPLE WANT THESE KIND OF GAMES. Because we do. Or I do. And that's all that matters.

If you're not convinced yet here's a quick youtube look at the game and some extra screenshots.



SO PRETTY


Look at those cheeky Mafia fuckers, just hanging out.


Hypothetical co-op experience. Unique character not included.


Also you get a bitchin' umbrella.

Now since I assume everyone is a massive idiot here's four more bolded links to the kickstarter.

Holy balls, that is pretty.

While I won't Kickstart it, mainly due to them not being able to confirm about this next reason, if this comes to consoles I will gobble this up the day it comes out. And that it solely basing it on how pretty it is. Reminds me of Wind Waker, heavily.

It is certainly very WindWaker.
But yeah they're saying that a Wii U release is most likely with other consoles coming... maybe. Honestly, anyone who can play this game should as long as I'm concerned so let's hope the console releases come.

that certainly looks like someone took a big wallop of windwaker gravy and slobbered it all over banjo kazooie platforming.

i'll take a look at it, but with the upcoming summer sale(s) (GoG already stole 22 dollars from me!) and my wanting for upgrading my rig, I'll have to hold off for now on funding it.

It's real cheap, $15 for the game when it comes out.

well they are doing funding until June 28th, so I'll wait out for anything else GoG might catch my eye with or anyone else (GmG or steam..*gasps* or heaven forbid, origin) and if i still have a decently thick wallet, i will fund it (bastards only allowed 300 people for the 10 dollar goal, HEATHENS.

edit: fixed that date, was thinking it was a little over a week and i forgot what day it was lol
