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 breezy, playful romp through dance battles and pollen-gathering errands, driven by quirky charm and modest challenge.

What players say

Players enjoy this free rhythm game for its cute bee theme and DDR-style gameplay with three arrow keys. It is short, around 30 minutes for the base story, and players split on the DLC: some find it fair while others see too much content behind a paywall. Calibration and key rebinding are common frustrations.
