It's... meh. It's meh.

The levels didn't feel really fun, but no bad either. But, hey, more AHIT is more AHIT, I'll take it.

Now, to the main thing. The boss. Not only is it extremley hard, it is also in some way impossible. After it is damaged once, there is not enough recharge time go through all hand swipes. Even with Fast Hatter equipped. Also, it makes NO SENSE. I thought that the story book would explain it, but the story book literally goes like:

"penguin live on island Grooves come take them away"

Like, I think the penguins is the LEAST interesting part about this. But, eh, whatever. The costumes... cool I guess? I only wear Vanessa's crown and dress, so idk. The level's VERY generous on tokens tho, I will give it that.

Afterall, the level is very mediocre, but if you've got nothing better to play, give it a try

Wonderful series of levels, I had a blast, thank you. Is there any way to get rid of the grenade helmet without also getting rid of your custom cosmetics? I'll be sad if I have to unsubscribe and lose the cool coat and whatnot

If only the hat actually damages boxes. Then i'd finally have a brewing hat i like.

Thumbs down for the boss fight, what an unfun mess. The BOTW shrine was also more annoying than fun, as the ball constantly kept rolling off platforms.

@Nuggets. And you suck harder

this sucks

Don't pick up the impossible pon! Worst mistake of my life.

Good map in general, but the boss is one of the worsts i ever played, the timing with the ice is absurd, and the part when u have to use the cannon feels just unfair, dodging ice cubes while fighting enemies and trying to use the canon is just so dificult and the map never prepare u for the fight

good map but mid boss, not hard to dodge without ice hat but the timing is absurd

For anyone struggling to avoid the boss's arm sweep attack: you can cancel the Ice Hat ability while the arm is still over you without taking damage (i.e. once you hear the sharp *tink*, you're safe). If you do this in the middle of the arena while wearing the hat cooldown badge, you'll have just enough time to move away and activate the Ice Hat again before the next sweep hits you. You might not be able to pull it off every time, but this should make the arm sweep attack much more manageable.

good map, horrible boss

Good map, horrible boss

The 3rd act reminded me so much of TotK that I actually tried to use Recall when I made a mistake lmao

This is absolutely one of my favorite mods of any game and of all time. I love how much care was put into it, the ice vibes all around, the vanity accessories, and of course, the Time Pieces. Absolutely love it!!

A nice little chapter; it's fun to run around collecting all the tokens! The boss is definitely gonna rough you up if you can't get the double jump dive timing down, but otherwise it's a smooth experience throughout the whole chapter. Plus I enjoyed the rifts and ending island!

what's that cheese thing about actually? Couldn't find it on network

cool mod but the boss doesn't feel tested at all, even with the right badges you cannot use the ice hat fast enough and the birds are a pain in the ass, shame how such a great mod finished with this garbage

cool

The boss is difficult enough as is.

why nodeath wishes?

@Cables323, that's because you are supposed to jump over it. And also you can use the badge that reduces the hat cool downs if you are bad at jumping.

boss fight is bugged, arm sweeps faster than ice hat cool down so guaranteed unavoidable damage. You have to use the time hat to slow down time enough for passive regen to overcome the guaranteed damage. Fast hat badge was equipped.

that ending was kinda weird ngl.

good mod tho.

It's neat to know I'm not the only Bug Fables fan here.

There is no way the person bellow me isn't a Bug Fables fan.

cool paint tho

one of the worst bosses ive ever fought in a platformer

That boss is just way too hard for me... Either method of Ice Hat or supposedly dodging the small time frame to jump over it is just too strict... You can only get hit twice before it knocks you out of Ice statue and it has a longer cool down... You get hit no matter what you do unless you are like a super expert or something.. I had to use a God Mode badge mod.. It's a cool idea and I like the robotic voice but you went over board on the challenge and crafted it for people who really know how to double jump cancel over it in a at best two second time frame which requires expert two dimensional thinking and perspective challenges to pull off... Even in Assist Mode it has a lot of damage stacked up against the player in a lot of cheap factors. Everything else from the puzzles to the platforming hit the mark for me and were great, but man, the enemies and boss just were highly frustrating to deal with.. That ice freeze hit box was incredibly annoying to deal with!

I love this mod but cant leave it installed without clogging up my hat bar :< configure option please?

..And then there's the ending.

being honest the difficulty spike of the boss was a surprise but not impossible to beat.

I just think making the ice hat obligatory made the fitght a little more difficult than it shoulb.
(i liked the gimmick by the way)

And even with a simplistic design i liked the boss he had a nice voice.

And for the rest of the mod?

I liked the puzzles, but the plataforming and time rift's were boring as hell!

Anyway i still liked the mod, i hope you make a game someday.

If you want of course ;>

Is the badge that lowers the cooldown of all hats by like 300%

I love the levels, and over all the customizables are super cute <3 <3 <3, but the final boss is... meh, the hitbox of the arm is imposible to jump, ice hat obligatory. i can see it as a gimmick battle but the speed of the arm is incompatible with the hat cooldown, is frustrating. but i still like it

The author of the map has said that you can dodge the arms without the Ice-Hat by jumping, doing a double jump and then to an quick dive to dive-cancel at the peak of the second second jump, and that that's the way the boss was designed and how it was meant to be fought.

Like, okay? Good luck doing that during a real "match" against that boss in a blind play-through lmao

PECKING AMAZING LEVELS!!!! <3
DARN STUPID FINAL BOSS </3
I was stuck in that fight for at least 40 minutes because of the freaking arm-swipe attack, it is imposible to avoid without the Ice-Hat, and even when using the cooldown reduction badge, it is imposible to recharge your power before the final 4 arm-swipe, and without the help of the birds to jump on them by attacking them to avoid the swipe, this means you are going to take at least 1 damage per try, because it is unavoideable. Seriously, i feel everything is fine except for that attack. FOURTY, FREAKING, MINUTES.

Cute and nice customizables

The boss fight was way too hard for my liking. Other than that, it was a nice mod!

Amazing expansion to A Hat in Time! Only complaint is the boss fight!

Was fun for the most part, but (as you may already be aware) that boss is horribly balanced. It either needs a different camera angle or a smaller arm to be reasonable.

I know literally everyone is saying this but the boss fight is actually borderline impossible.
1. It is impossible with 1 Hit Hero (without utilizing glitches)
2. There is a 50% chance the boss is possible any time you play it.
3. Its attacks are unreadable and you have to do a near frame perfect jump every round.
4. If you mess up on the bird parts then you die unless you use the Time-Hat
Needless to say this is really horrible.
Other than that the chapter was really fun and I expected more out of the boss because it really felt like you made it, then didn't playtest it whatsoever.

everything is great besides boss fight. boss fight its awful its not even bad, the hand hitbox is too big, the are too many birds (one would be enough, three is too much), camera sucks

boss is too hard, just because his hand is too big, except for this, everything else is very good

As a result, the boss is not complicated, but very boring. And it's easy to fix. Make the attacks more readable, for example, make an animation before attacking with your hand, like an attack when it launches its hand up.
Reduce the size of the hands so that they can be overcome simply by a double jump without timings and dash and add at least 1 more attack in phase 2.
Well, the current version of the boss would be suitable for Death Wish, that's where it belongs.

Very good, but man last boss just booring
There are a few things about bosses in the rules of a good game designer:
1) Boss attacks are easy to read
2) The boss is honest with the player
3) The complexity of the boss is comparable to what preceded it
The first one it breaks in phase 3, the attack when the hand moves across the entire screen and when it spins is the same at the beginning. And because it takes a difficult jump to overcome the hand, which cannot be canceled, you will get damage here with 50%, no matter how you teach attacks
The third is violated as a whole. There were no places in your act where such a skill would be required, and those who passed DeathWish will pass the boss, but those who just passed only 7 acts and your maps - no. It's too hard

Am I missing something? I am in the second act, and cannot figure out how to break those ice walls

Absolutely beautiful mod. I love the new hat and coat, it looks so cozy. Did make me feel a little chilly irl, but very fun to play.

It was a very nice level with fun platforming and atmosphere and some decent puzzles (especially that shrine level) up until the boss fight at the end. It wouldn't have been that bad if it weren't for that sweeping attack that was incredibly hard to dodge for no real reason. If the arm was a bit smaller it could've been just a double jump instead of an additional dive cancel, which would've let to a lot less frustration. I ended up cheating by using Lilac's Headgear.

Yeah, sadly the only way to get rid off it is to uninstall this map as deactivating it in the Mod menu doesn't remove the hat. Which I wouldn't mind if the hat itself wasn't so useless outside of this map since nothing can interact with it aside from basic enemies.

i'm stuck with the hat and i can't get rid of it it's really annoying the level itself is decent

I liked this a lot overall, and did everything (even beat the boss). So, here's my thoughts. The sweeping attacks, I was fine with them honestly. Noticed some people complaining that they weren't able to dodge it at all. You need to do a max height double jump and then dash cancel towards where the sweep is coming from (ie, if it is coming from the left to the right side, you dash cancel to the left side). My only problem was with those dang birds. Their AOE attack was kinda frustrating for me in that boss fight. Kinda led to me getting combo killed more than I'd prefer.
Other than that, I did experience a game freeze somehow when one of those birds froze me at the same time I was using the Ice hat. Also, one of the acts (either Act 2 or Act 3, already forgot somehow) put my in the Subcon Forest lobby instead of the Custom Levels lobby.

I have generally the same critiques as everyone else, this mod was sooooo goood. it had so much going for it! but that boss fight is literally impossible, namely the sweep attack, Hat Kid literally cannot jump high enough to get over the sweep. otherwise, this was a super enjoyable experience.
