Dinsun Expert Review
Our Expert Score
The Top Hat Club is a charming puzzle-platformer that feels like a love letter to the 'gentleman adventurer' aesthetic. The core mechanic—using your top hat as a tool and a platform—is brilliantly executed and sets it apart from the hundreds of generic platformers on the App Store. The monochrome art style, punctuated by occasional splashes of color, gives the game a sophisticated, 'noir-lite' feel that is very pleasing to the eye.
The level design is where the game truly shines. Each stage introduces subtle new ways to interact with the environment, requiring a mix of reflex and logic. Some puzzles will have you scratching your head for a few minutes, but the 'aha!' moment when you finally figure out how to bounce your hat off a wall to reach a ledge is incredibly satisfying. It’s a polished, thoughtful experience that proves you don't need a million buttons to create a deep and engaging mobile game.

Brilliant
Sun Oct 15 2023 Skeletor1998The art in this game is charming, the music is fun, and the levels are challenging in a good way. The award names and the music slowing down when you have to re-try a level made me laugh. My kids and I had a ton of fun playing it together.
Very challenging
Thu Oct 19 2023 rtteachrThis game is very challenging and makes you think. My only complaint would be the jump button. I wish it floated like the controller so anywhere you hit on the right side of the screen would trigger the jump. On a larger iPad it is hard to keep hitting the same small button.
Fun and Stylish
Fri Sep 08 2023 Frederick Von RickenbacherThis game has a great vibe to it, but ultimately lost a star due to the short length and the majority of the difficulty (and by extension playtime) being driven by the controls rather than the levels themselves in quantity or challenge. Would still recommend for someone looking to kill a couple hours.
Really really good
Fri Aug 16 2024 January 1 2013I love the game but sometimes when I’m jumping and going forward it doesn’t jump and I just walk forward and die but other than that the game is hard and I love the idea good job 👍
