Frequently, there are more Pons to collect than needed, allowing a rushing player to collect the bare minimum in order to progress more quickly, or allowing a more diligent player to do less work in the later levels and spend their saved up Rift Pons to just progress past a notably difficult portion.Īlongside Rift Pons is Storybook Pages, an optional collectible which are hidden throughout the various levels of Purple Time Rifts. They are used as a currency of sorts to unlock the next pipe to progress deeper into the rift. Scattered throughout each level of these rifts except for certain exceptions are Rift Pons, a type of Pon which is tallied at the bottom of the screen separate from normal pons.
They are also comprised of many levels instead of just getting to the end of a single segment, requiring Hat Kid to enter a pipe to progress to the next level, before completing the level by breaking open an attack-able Time Rift ball and collecting its Time Piece. Unlike the more fragmented Blue Time Rifts, Purple Time Rifts seem to be far more cohesion in terms of layout. Due to this, each Purple Time Rift is visually distinct from one another, sharing many design cues from the chapter they are tied to. Purple Time Rifts, or Story Time Rifts are the second major type of Time Rift, created by landing on an Enemy or Character and having their thoughts and dreams permeate and develop the layout of the following rifts. They can be entered by touching a Blue Time Rift, floating glowing orbs, found in previously played acts.The parkour itself can be pretty challenging, but just a little harder than usual levels they are found in.
When falling or dying, the Hat Kid teleports to the last Checkpoint. At the end of the path lies a Time Piece, which ends the level. Along the way, lanterns mark checkpoints. Objects are arranged in such a way as to provide a path for Hat Kid to traverse, using all the platforming skills she has honed.
These rifts appears to be underwater, with bubbles that float passively and even a whale swimming through the upper part of the level at times, though Hat Kid jumps and falls through it like air. As well as a unique location for each rift, every single Time Rift also has its own unique layout, as well as a dream-based visual design depending on which type the rift is.īlue Time Rifts, otherwise known as the Water Time Rift or Dream World is a type of Time Rift that takes place in a strange place with brightly colored blocks, wedges, and other various objects suspended in an abyss, surrounded by several large clock tower-like structures in the distance. Each Time Rift is found across the various Chapters of A Hat in Time, with fixed locations shown by pictures when they appear on that chapter's map.
