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 punch to the beat in a colorful fantasy world, sweat and stress melting away with every fast, synced strike.

What players say

Players say Blast Beat offers a solid workout that gets them sweating, especially on expert, and praise the polished arcade feel and Japanese-inspired environments. However, they split on the music, calling it forgettable, and some report punch detection is unresponsive, making the game feel shallow compared to Beat Saber or BoxVR.
