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 compose music by building platforming levels and then play through them, turning note-by-note creation into a rhythmic obstacle course.

About

The music score becomes the game ! Compose your music-level and play it in this fusion of a platformer and a music editor ! ZikSquare brings you a new concept ! Each musical note is played by the game and is a block that your character has to slide on, to jump on or to dodge.
