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 cheerful, easy-to-pick-up rhythm game where you tap along to bright, poppy tunes.

What players say

Players call it a Rhythm Heaven clone with lovely art and character design, but it is brief with only a handful of minigames and no remixes. Difficulty spikes sharply: one band stage demands memorizing guitar sections, and a submarine minigame has punishing timing. Most recommend it for fans of both series, though a few find the constant character screen vibration fatiguing.
