Hell Pie is pretty much a reskin of A Hat in Time if you like the gameplay. However, the theme is toilet humour so it definitely isn't cutesy.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll take a look. Toilet humor isn't my usual goto, but I can enjoy it from time to time; I mean, that boss from Conker's Bad Fur Day -- you know the one, if you ever played it -- is among the most memorable encounters I've ever had in gaming...

Edit: I'm a few hours in now, and I'd say it's kind of like the developers took Conker's Bad Fur Day and A Hat in Time, ground both up with a meat grinder, shoved the mix in a pie tin, added a dash of Ford Cruller's Secret Blend of Psitanium and Spices, and baked in the oven at 350 degrees until well done. I'm enjoying it so far. Fair warning to anyone else reading who is thinking of trying it that it's much more tuned to Conker's style of cartoon violence (with blood and gore) than to A Hat in Time's.
