Hatris is a nice take on the game Tetris but I prefer Tetris. This was my first time playing this game after hearing about on another video so I had to check it out.. Not a bad game and I didn't take advantage of the feature where you can change some hats around from those two guys on the screen but it was fun.

More on the game:

Hatris is a puzzle video game developed by Alexey Pajitnov for Bullet-Proof Software. An arcade version was manufactured by Video System.

Hatris plays similarly to Pazhitnov's previous Tetris, in that game objects falling from the top of the screen must be arranged in specific patterns to gain points and to keep the play area clear. In Hatris, hats of different styles fall from the top of the screen and accumulate at the bottom. To eliminate hats from the play area, five hats of identical style must be stacked. Different style hats stack differently.

The NES version of Hatris awards two types of Helper icons for clearing five sets of certain hats. Clearing five sets of derbies, baseball caps, or cowboy hats awards a Vladimir icon. Clearing five sets of top hats, wizard hats, or crowns awards an Alexey icon. A maximum of eight Helper icons can be stocked at a time.

Pressing the B button removes any hats under active control from the playfield, and calls out the helper associated with the most recently awarded icon. Vladimir is able to swap two selected columns of hats. Alexey is able to remove up to five hats from the bottoms of selected columns of hats.

At the end of each level, the player is given the option to either keep or cash-in each of their stocked Helper icons. Each icon is worth
500 if cashed in. Remaining Helper icons are also automatically cashed-in after completing the final level in the game: Shop 5 Level 9.
