By now you know I love 3D platformers, and one name rises to the top whenever I discuss upcoming games in the genre:
As a Kickstarter backer of A Hat in Time, one of the best-looking collect-a-thons in development, I got to try out the alpha a year ago, and I absolutely loved it. Even though it was just an alpha build with two levels made available to testers, it was a lot of fun and had enough content to keep me playing for hours.
Now, at last, the beta of A Hat in Time has been released to backers! Not only does it contain improvements based on the alpha test feedback, but it also features a vertical slice of the game’s content. We’ll spend much more time in Mafia Town, see a new level from the Subcon Forest (and re-visit our dear Queen Vanessa), and visit the start of the Trainwreck of Science!
I’ve already started the beta, and while Mafia Town is familiar, there are definitely some new things. I can’t wait to get even further and see more of what A Hat in Time has to offer.
As with the alpha, I’ll write up a post on my thoughts later. I also hope to upload A Hat in Time beta footage, so subscribe to my Youtube channel if you want to see it as soon as I post it!
