Embark on a whimsical journey through Hatch Flap, where you navigate obstacles and puzzles to bring your baby flamingo home. This action-packed indie adventure from Thunder Candy keeps the world against you but offers a unique twist in gameplay and storytelling.
About this game
Hatch Flap means to be audacious. First, your baby's wrongly been delivered (the stork's at fault here).
But then, worst of it all, you gotta go get it back through a series of unpredictable obstacles.
Gameplay
Hatch Flap is mainly a 2D Puzzle-Adventure. However, it also includes levels with:
Platforming
Top-down
RPG
Racing
Board game
Mini-game
Cooking
Horror
Bullet Hell
Of course, this goes without saying that you can expect chaos.
Features
Includes solo and co-op: bring your buddy through this colorful adventure, or do it all alone.
Steam Remote Play: if you so choose to play with a buddy, you don't have to be sitting next to them~
Custom key binding: and supports all kinds of controllers. You can even change the glyph to your liking!
Lively: almost every obstacle has unique animations, with each flamingo animated differently.
Explore: go through different worlds as you progress your way further, trying to find your baby.
Rough and tough: not for the casuals. Be ready to loose all of your lives... and then some.
Secrets: hidden collectibles, levels, cutscenes, ending and unlockables.
Achievements: because one needs to know the pain you went through to gather everything.

Hatch Flap Update #1 - Road to Demo
Steam ☕️ - All arts have been finalized for public consumption (delicious hatch flap) Revamped the museum 📑 - New music - Layout completely changed - New graphics Revamped the credits 📃 - New music - Now only one page instead of having to go through 4 - Incomplete for now and will have to be adjusted later for the translators and special thanks Checkpoint 🥚 - New sound when touching checkpoint egg - Multiple checkpoint can now be triggered* *Before this update, checkpoint had a simple system: you touch it, it checks what level you're in and then removes itself when you spawn outside of it. This resulted in all checkpoints being removed, as they all shared the same instruction: to be removed as soon as the player spawn. Now, no matter the checkpoint, they all have their own number (think of it as an ID) and can be used individually without other checkpoints being removed. This new system is even tested and present in Level 1-2. Quality of Life (QoL) ✨- Adjusted words in settings menu to be more readable- Audio is now loaded dynamically*- Graphics are now loaded dynamically* *This means that when you launch the game, you won't stutter trying to catch up and load files that weren't loaded before as you play, and you also won't keep files that aren't needed (e.g. having title music loaded in memory while you're playing the game. The Title music will only load if you are in title, and unload when leaving said title). Everything is loaded/unloaded during transition for smoother gameplay: this results in a great performance boost across all systems. Expect longer transition time and less stutter.- Added a failsafe if music cannot be loaded, so instead of crashing, it simply doesn't play anything- Made it so it is possible to leave the world map by holding the attack button Level 1-1 ☁️ Ruby Fight has been polished 💎🥊 - New intro before the fight - Adding a "READY..." before the fight - Added new hurt animation to get out from an infinite combo the ruby could do, making the...Read full article on Community Announcements (Thunder Candy)
