Free on iPhone in the Roam app. Android coming soon.
Play free nowHard Hat Havoc hands you two orange work gloves and a job: everyone get in the van for Orientation Day. From there you take contracts across a sunny cartoon city, and on site you grab, drop, throw and punch whatever is in reach. It belongs with the physics sandbox games where the fun is in what you can knock over, but with a paycheck attached. Your first shift is free, like every shift after it, in the Roam app on iPhone.
Controls on the job
- Walk with the joystick and look around by dragging the screen.
- Use Grab and Drop to pick things up and set them down.
- Punch, Jump and Duck each have their own button on the right.
- Follow the job marker to the van, ride to the site and finish the contract to get paid.
What makes it fun
- Physics objects you can grab, throw and punch
- Contracts that send you to different job sites in the van
- Health, energy and cash meters, so jobs have stakes
- Warm sunset city with cartoon hands in first person
How it compares to other physics sandbox games
Pure sandboxes give you a box of toys and no reason to use them. Hard Hat Havoc gives you a reason: a contract, a site and pay at the end. It sits between a construction simulator and a messing-around game, closer to job simulator games than to serious building sims.
You will not plan a skyscraper here. You will carry, toss and punch your way through a work day, and the physics do the rest. That makes it a different kind of construction game: less blueprint, more chaos.
Tips for your first contract
Head for the green marker first. The van is how you reach each job, and the distance counter tells you how far it is.
Watch the energy bar under your health. Grabbing and punching all day wears you down, so do not waste swings on things the job does not need. Cash from each contract shows at the top, so you can see what a day of work earned.
Who it is for
Players who like construction games but get bored of careful placement, and anyone who enjoys first-person games with a grab button. The first job takes a little walking, so stick with it past the van ride.
