Description
Ultra Hat Dimension is a violent puzzle game about adorable hats and people getting punched for wearing them. The catch is that the player can't punch anyone; instead, they must use the power of hats to convince others to do the punching for them. Find and defeat the Spluff responsible!
History
Ultra Hat Dimension was originally created for Ludum Dare 32, under the theme An Unconventional Weapon. Of the 1500+ games in the 72-hour Jam category, it got 22nd place in audio and 24th place overall. Three of the four original team members decided to polish it up for a commercial release, and here we are.

Selected Articles
- "Ultra Hat Dimension is a perfect example of how wonderful things can happen if you polish up a simple idea and execute it well. If you like your puzzle games smart and heavy on the charm, this is the title for you."
- Dora Breckinridge, jayisgames.com - "Contrary to how it may at first sound, Ultra Hat Dimension is not a washed up European trance DJ duo, but is an excellent puzzle game that features all of the aforementioned head dressings."
- Joe Donnelly, Rock, Paper, Shotgun - "I have never once considered using headgear to face off against my arch-nemesis, but I'm game to try that out here."
