Top Hat is a 2D classic platformer, just like old NES games. If you are tired of “games” in which you get hit by heavy machine gun and grenades, and all you need to do is cover behind the wall to replenish HP, then Top Hat is a perfect game for you!
The story is about a golden top hat that was stolen from our Hero. Now he has to to get it back. On his adventure the Hero will visit seven worlds, each 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, wchich shoot platforms, of course on which we can jump,
  • a freeze gun which, of course, freeze 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.
Top Hat has won Indie Showcase contest at Digital Dragons 2014 Festival in the category "Best PC Indie Game". So if you are tired with games that aren't challenging, Top Hat is what you want to play. Challenge and fun!


Game is finished, we just need to reach Steam Greenlight!
And here are some 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.
  • Awesome chiptune soundtrack made by Jakim.
  • ACHIEVEMENTS. YAY.
  • WE WILL PLAY ON YOUR NOSTALGY FEELINGS, BRO.
  • Challenging. Really.


You can get the game DRM-free version directly from us in the N94 store SHOP. If you will purchase a copy directly from us – you will also get a Steam Key as soon as Top Hat hits Steam.


Here's the official trailer:

I'm really digging that trippy art style. Gameplay seems smooth as well and if it sounds anything like the trailer then it's bound to be great! Voted you up on Greenlight, best of luck! Gentleman
