{{Down}} crouches. {{B}} punches. {{C}} jumps. You can jump on enemies to temporarily stun them or multiple times to destroy them; punching will always destroy enemies. You can punch while in mid-air, but not while crouching. {{A}} opens an inventory window where you can select items to use, such as better attacks.

The game is a platformer in which the player controls Hat through various side-scrolling levels. Levels consist of three rounds, which contain many enemies and hazards that can harm or kill Hat as well as items to collect. Hat must find the exit to each round. In the last round of each level, Hat must find a special piece of treasure to restore the island and defeat a boss. Hat is moved with {{left}} and {{right}} and ducks with {{down}}. He can skip across water if he is running. He jumps with {{C}}. Hat can slow his descent by pressing {{repeat|{{C}}}} in mid-air. He attacks enemies by punching them with {{B}}. He can punch while jumping but not while crouching. He can also jump on most enemies to defeat them; enemies must be jumped on multiple times to defeat them and can recover if left alone. When underwater, he swims with {{repeat|{{C}}}}.
 +
 
 +
Hat loses a life if he touches an enemy. If he loses all of his lives, the game ends. There are no continues. However, extra lives are relatively plentiful to compensate for this.
 +
 
 +
Hat can find his companion Robogg, who perches on his back and can be thrown at enemies with {{B}}. Hat can collect it again by walking over it after it lands or wait for it to automatically return like a boomerang. If Hat is hit by an enemy while Robogg is perched on him, Hat loses Robogg but does not lose a life.
 +
 
 +
During the game, the player can also collect a variety of items that provide special abilities such as temporary invincibility or eliminating all enemies on screen. These potions are kept in an inventory rather than used immediately when collected. The player can access the item inventory with {{A}} to use an item or read a short description about what it does.

 +
 
 +
There are two bonus games, and the game alternates between the two at the end of each round.
 +
 
 +
The first is a lottery minigame similar to [[wikipedia:Ghost Leg|amidakuji]]. The player places multiple Hats on five pathways. The number of Hats corresponds to the number of Coins found in the round. Multiple Hats can be placed on the same pathway. Once they have all been placed, they walk up the path to the end, crossing whenever there is a juncture and possibly collecting items along the way. Near the end is a moving maze, which the player can stop with {{C}}. Then the Hats continue to the end of the path, which contains item prizes or a hole that Hat falls into for no prize.
 +
 
 +
The second resembles a slot machine. The player can bet Coins on each turn, and the game continues until the player runs out of Coins. The player wins an item by matching three of the same item across all three slots. They can match horizontally or diagonally. The slots must be stopped in the order of the leftmost slot with {{A}}, the rightmost slot with {{C}}, and the middle slot with {{B}}.
 +
 
 +
===Items===
 +
Items are contained in statues, which Hat can punch to break open. Sometimes statues contain no item or an enemy. Potions are placed in the player's inventory rather than used immediately. The player can open the item menu with {{A}} to check the item inventory or use an item.

The game is a platformer in which the player controls Hat through various side-scrolling levels. Levels consist of three rounds, which contain many enemies and hazards that can harm or kill Hat as well as items to collect. Hat must find the exit to each round.

He can skip across water if he is running. He jumps with C. Hat can slow his descent by pressing CCCCC in mid-air. He attacks enemies by punching them with B.

Bonus game 2

There are two bonus games, and the game alternates between the two at the end of each round.

The first is a lottery minigame similar to amidakuji. The player places multiple Hats on five pathways. The number of Hats corresponds to the number of Coins found in the round. Multiple Hats can be placed on the same pathway. Once they have all been placed, they walk up the path to the end, crossing whenever there is a juncture and possibly collecting items along the way. Near the end is a moving maze, which the player can stop with C. Then the Hats continue to the end of the path, which contains item prizes or a hole that Hat falls into for no prize.

The second resembles a slot machine. The player can bet Coins on each turn, and the game continues until the player runs out of Coins. The player wins an item by matching three of the same item across all three slots. They can match horizontally or diagonally. The slots must be stopped in the order of the leftmost slot with A, the rightmost slot with C, and the middle slot with B.

Items

Items are contained in statues, which Hat can punch to break open. Sometimes statues contain no item or an enemy. Potions are placed in the player's inventory rather than used immediately. The player can open the item menu with A to check the item inventory or use an item.
