A Hat in Time - MeowkuCube!!
An update to A Hat in Time has been released. The update will be applied automatically when you restart A Hat in Time. This is a minor update. The changes include:

  • Resolved issues with the camera where it would on occasion flip out while in tight corridors
  • Fixed some regional PS4 controllers not being recognized by the game
  • Fixed interact button not showing up as the circle button with a PS4 controller
  • Fixed jigglebones twitching when running at low framerates
  • New camera filter: Silhouette

Note on Modding Support BETA
We have an opt-in beta available called the "Modding Support BETA". It is a BETA. It will be broken. Don't opt in unless you're ready to accept that things will be broken, and that it will be updated frequently. It's a test ground for us to test all the various crazy mods that modders will make, and fix those before Modding Support gets merged with the main game.

Note on update frequency
Us at Gears for Breakfast take great pride in the fact that we're able to respond to issues quickly. When someone reports a bug, we often have a fix for it ready to ship in less than a day.
However, we did not take into account the fact that a lot of people are on limited bandwidth. Receiving a 2.6gb update multiple times a week can be frustrating when in that scenario. We realize this now, and going forward we will reduce the frequency at which we update, and instead bundle our fixes into major releases instead (or supply the fixes via the Modding Support BETA). The only exception to this will be necessary hotfixes for severe issues. Thank you for voicing your thoughts to us so we can continue to improve the game and our distribution of the game!

Stay cute!!

Where Yooka-Laylee attempted to revive Rare s Banjo-Kazooie formula, A Hat in Time [official site] strikes at a different vein of nostalgia. The 3D platformer attempts to split the difference between the open-ended adventuring of Super Mario 64 and the more guided point-by-point platforming of Super Mario Galaxy. The result is a work of obvious grace and imagination that never attempts to rise above its obvious inspirations, but still consistently delivers the same kind of warm fuzzies that its favorite Italian plumber deals in.
