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 sprint through neon arenas shooting at opponents while matching your aim to shifting musical beats.

What players say

Players call BlasterBeat a promising idea ruined by poor execution and apparent abandonment. Many report that shooting on rhythm is pointless since you can just spam click, songs are AI-generated or poorly mapped, and multiplayer lobbies are empty.
