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

You guide a squad of apes by playing drum patterns in fast, lighthearted battles against AI copies of other players.

What players say

Players describe a rhythm fighting game with a unique concept that falls short due to repetitive matches and exploitable attack combos. Crashes and unresponsive drum inputs are common complaints, and the rank system feels inconsistent while balance is poor.
