TIMEsink REVIEW: Zero Punctuation: Hatfall

HATFALL is a high-energy game of skill and hat-wearing born from Zero Punctuation, the hit online video series from The Escapist, created by the man behind ZP, Ben 'Yahtzee' Croshaw.

When Yahtzee finds that his hat has gone missing there’s only one option: collect as many hats as you possibly can.

Fortunately hats are falling from the sky for no adequately explored reason, ready to be caught by your head. Just make sure you avoid the anvils and refrigerators that are also falling from the sky for no adequately explored reason.

And try not to get confused by all the people who look exactly like you trying to do the same thing.

And watch out for the short-tempered wizard. In short, it's not as easy as it sounds. But to truly master the art of putting on hats, you must acquire them by any means necessary.

Catch them, steal them, embezzle them, and if all else fails, seduce them.

The hit detection on the hat is a little too small. If you're even a hair off, the hat lands right next to you. Needs the ability to skip the first few hats and get to the exciting part. For now its a bit monotonous, but the humor works really well, and the music is great. Game play is original and interesting sometimes its crashes but the creators keep in touch and patches and take people's ideas on board. Also exiting the app is a let down due there's no saving how you got so when you close the app i was very disappointed in that i was back at the beginning.
