Hatris

About

Hatris turns the classic puzzle formula into a hat-stacking frenzy. You manage a conveyor belt dropping pairs of hats, bowlers, derbies, party hats, and more, onto six mannequin heads. Stack five of the same type on a single head and they disappear, earning you cash. Each level adds new hat types while the pace quickens. The goal is to keep stacks from hitting the top of the screen as the factory churns faster. Money totals track your progress, letting you unlock higher shops with tougher combinations. A quirky spin on block-dropping mechanics, Hatris retains the frantic rhythm of its predecessors while adding theme and variety. With six distinct hat styles introduced across levels, the challenge escalates smoothly without feeling unfair. Released in 1990, it ran on platforms from the NES to TurboGrafx-16. Casual players appreciate the tight controls and escalating tension, though the lack of modern updates keeps it niche. It remains a cult favorite among retro puzzle fans.
