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 rhythm game where you tap to the beat while timing special attacks against a rival, mixing Guitar Hero with a fighting game's strategic layer.

What players say

Players are split on Rhythm Brawl. Many praise its concept, music, and potential, but early adopters report unfinished paper-cutout art, off-beat timing, and crashes. Some note the unique defense-offense mechanic, while others find the three-button rhythm gameplay too difficult or a shallow Guitar Hero clone.
