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 high-energy rhythm game where you punch and kick to the beat, feeling like a martial arts action scene set to your own music.

What players say

Players are split on KickBeat. Some enjoy the rhythm-fighting concept and custom music import, while others find the beat sync off, the soundtrack limited to hard rock, and the visuals cluttered and seizure-inducing. The story draws comparisons to early 2000s cartoons.
