A cat band, a cozy pixel village, and every note you miss.

About the game

A cat band plays gigs for a cozy pixel village. Each cat is one instrument and one lane. Tap the paw notes in time. A missed note mutes that cat until you hit again, so you hear every mistake.

Strays wander in to the edge of town, and a dance-off decides if they join. Between gigs, the band rests in the village and busks for tips.

Rhythm
Four lanes, one per cat. A miss mutes that cat's part.
Band
Every cat brings its own groove, so a new cat means a new song part.
Strays
Win a dance-off and a stray joins the band.
Village
Resting cats busk for tips. Requests and upgrades grow the village.
Clips
Record a vertical clip of a gig or a cat's dance and share it.
