I remember that I checked to see if you could use the Dweller mask to reveal the cat thieves, but I'm pretty sure it didn't work.

When you complete a platforming challenge in level 4 and receive a yarn for a hat you obtained in level 1, does it actually unlock anything else? Can you use it for cosmetic stuff?

Not really.

You need one (1) yarn of the appropriate hat and however many yarn of whatever type to get to the number needed to create the hat. Once you've got all the hats, the only purpose collecting yarn serves is to get the shiny.

It's 3 rift tokens to spin the gacha.

I originally beat the pre-nerf version of the second act and was so frustrated that I couldn't play the game for a couple days afterwards. If they hadn't handed out the first DLC for free for a limited time, I'd have asked for a refund just because of how aggressively unfun that act was.

The fact that the boat is an absolute nightmare to navigate doesn't help either.

Huh... the music that plays when you rescue the Captin sounds very similar to the train section of the "Bombing run" ff7 music track.

Edit: Yeah that end part comes almost completely out of left feild. That said it explains quite a bit about the Captain's attitude and behiavor.

His pair of cigarettes would've gone out, though.

Snapping right back to the super cheerful slots music after the emotional gut punch that is the Arctic Cruise story book is a really hosed up ride. And it's kinda great for it.

As for the Snatcher, if you talk to him in his box a couple of times, he asks if it looks like the box is being loaded into the right ship or not. He might've ended up on the S.S. None Of Your Business.

You don't turn him blue with a blue potion so you can't damage him.

You don't have your hat during the fight, Snatcher is wearing it.

Maybe the laser badge would work, but that involves using the laser badge.

I absolutely love the aesthetics of this level, this level is the best-looking one to me so far. I'm glad all the cosmetic options in this level are only gated behind Pons and not the gatcha, it would be pretty frustrating to have to grind out those excellent new outfits and hat flairs.

Mod levels absolutely shower you with rift tokens, so it's honestly not so bad. Unless you're playing on Switch, I guess.

I like the little touch that there is a manhole in Bluefin Tunnel that becomes the new content in the finale. Also it's a really good finale.

You're related to soup, Admiral.
I really do love how the game fully embraces that Hat Kid is not, in any way, a heroic figure. She's not a villain -- she's just trying to get back her stuff that she needs -- but she's not really here to help people, and (going by her diary entries) she doesn't understand half of what's going on anyway.

A Hat in Time is the cheeriest morally-grey game I've ever seen, that's for sure.

Hat Girl absolutely agrees with about half of the rant.
She is selfish, she has no interest in saving the planet, this planet doesn't need Hat Girl and it's absolutely perfect that no one will ever miss her.

Now give those time pieces back, you miserable little thief, so I can leave your cheap offers of "friendship" behind and go home, away from this weird crazy place.

And then, when all hanger-ons appeared, she really, really don't want them there or at her home.

It's pretty fun to look back on this and realise that there were no good guys in this story anywhere.

Except maybe Cooking Cat? She was swapping out the mafia's lethal cooking with her own. She seems to be making some effort to make things better for other people for its own sake.

Cooking Cat is the true hero of A Hat In Time.
