Wake the beat.
Meet the trio.
An angry cat, a pitiful puppy and the caregiver who looks after them both.

Small paws. A very big temper. This realistic cat stands out with a fierce stare and turquoise boxing gloves.
Unlock with 10 stamps
Puppy Skin
The pitiful puppy
Floppy ears and eyes that look ready to cry. It is hard not to root for this little puppy. Take on the beat together.
Unlock with 5 stamps
Caregiver Skin
Their caring companion
She looks after the grumpy cat and the downhearted puppy. Now their caring companion is putting on her gloves and joining them on stage.
Unlock with 3 stamps
Collect stamps. Pick your look.
- Collect stamps in the Cat Shop
- Unlock a skin by completing its stamp collection
- Choose an owned skin and equip it
Stamps accumulate and do not reset each day. Your selected skin takes effect from your next run, and you can switch back to the default cat. Skins change your appearance without changing attack power, HP or timing judgments.
Artwork and unlock requirements are from the game in development and may change before release.
Behind the beat
How music becomes something you can play.
Where there is music,a cat’s adventure begins.
Two hands, five different challenges
Tapping is at the core of Cat Beat. Boxing tests direction and timing; Fishing and Practice test your memory for patterns. Rather than add more controls, we aim to create different challenges through what you hear and how you respond.
Letting the music lead
The beat tells you when to tap. On this site, kick and snare establish the rhythm before the full track joins in. Listen first, then feel how the movement follows the music.
What does BPM mean?
BPM means beats per minute. At 120 BPM, one beat lasts 0.5 seconds; at 152 BPM, about 0.395 seconds. Divide 60 by the BPM to find the length of one beat. Rhythm games use that timing to place notes in the music.
From watching to playing
At the end of the intro, tap the stage to hit pigs back. With no complex rules or win/loss pressure, you can simply enjoy the movement and sound of each punch.
