🎮 What is in the demo?
Step into the headphones of Scratch, a rhythm-driven DJ cat on a mission to recover his stolen record collection from the thieving Snatch the Rat and his gang of goons:
Flow-State Movement: Chain together dives, jumps, and feline flair to navigate levels with your own expressive style and find your top speed.
Vibrant Musical Worlds: Jump through the tutorial in Melotropolis and venture into Rhythm Ruins built around a signature soundtrack! Environments pulse with musical energy, giving your platforming a unique beat without locking you into strict timing.
The Ultimate Collectathon: Track down stolen record fragments, gather collectibles, solve rhythmic puzzles, and uncover hidden secrets along the way.
⚡ Think You Can Beat the Dev Record?
During our community playtests and showcase at Copenhagen Gaming Week, we noticed players starting to speedrun the demo. Our Creative Director, Felix Sherar, managed to beat the tutorial in exactly 1 minute.
Can you beat his time? Try the demo, test your movement skills, and share your best times or clips with us in the Steam Discussions or on Discord.
Turn up the volume, grab a controller, and let us know what you think! 🐾🎧
Thanks for listening - and remember: ✨ Stay groovy. Stay scratchy. ✨
With excitement and puuurfect hair,
