On December 6, 2021, the 12th annual awards ceremony for the authors of the most profitable Czech games of 2021 took place. In addition, viewers could influence the results in the public category "Best Community Support".
The awards and winners were decided by both an expert jury, which recognized the most profitable titles and teams over the past year, and by players in the online category.

SYNOPSIS:
HATS! is a narrative-driven steampunk platformer, set in a strange world of steam, automatons, time-traveling lightbulbs and talking briefcases.
This is a debut title of a small team of passionate students, who each put their own free time and resources into making the game entirely from scratch. Whether it's the eye-catching visual style, the impecable level design, or the breathtaking score.
THE STORY:
Notworth "Lapse" Lapsington is a mildly-unintelligent automaton who likes to collect all kinds of hats.

Embark on a strange journey, where Notworth has to talk his way through the strange denizens of Cloudon, experience wild B-stories hidden within them, and beat the challenging platforming sections.
