What players say
Fun game. Tight gameplay. Well crafted game loop going between your base and missions. This game turned out to be nothing like I thought it would be from the screenshots. It's probably better than I imagined. It's challenging so expect to die a lot. Even if you die before you complete the level there's plenty of opportunity to send resources back to home base. They also let you choose between different difficulty...
1 more review, not recommended
I tried liking this game, but between enemies randomly deciding they have spotted you from off your screen with normal view, and enemies just deciding that you die now, it's just not fun.

About the game
Mr Sun’s Hatbox is a slapstick, roguelite platformer about getting the job done at all costs. Upgrade your HQ, your team, and your tools so you can take on increasingly dangerous (and ridiculous) missions, wearing hats with amazing (or questionable) potential.
