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 frantic, retro-tinged rhythm game where you rapidly mash buttons to the beat across a varied soundtrack, designed for quick play sessions.

What players say

Players praise the soundtrack and find it a simple, therapeutic rhythm game with strong leaderboard competition, but some criticize the note patterns as unclear and one reviewer says it hurts the eyes.
