What is King of the Hat?

This 2D party platform fighter pits two to four players against each other, with each character’s soul stored in their hat. You throw your hat to attack, block incoming throws, or bait opponents, then jump on their hats to eliminate them. Custom rules, power-ups, and level hazards can change how matches play.

For you if...

  • +you want fast-paced local multiplayer for game nights

Not for you if...

  • −you want story-driven exploration rather than player-versus-player matches
