The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A playful and rhythmic platformer where you jump and solve puzzles in sync with the music you create.

What players say

Players say the game is more of a puzzle platformer than a true rhythm game, with many complaining about awkward camera angles and sluggish controls that hurt precision. The difficulty spikes sharply in later levels, and while the first few minutes are fun, some find it gets old quickly and recommend using a controller over keyboard.
