March to the Beat of Rataport
The Ratatans and their Cobun followers leave their toy-box-like island in search of the Everafter and its legendary Goddess. Commands are entered through rhythmic sequences, but movement remains free, making each encounter a blend of musical timing, formation control and quick retreats.

Who Is Ratatan For?
Ratatan is built for players who enjoy rhythm games but also want tactical decisions, character builds and replayable runs. Its cheerful presentation makes it inviting, while the timing and positioning systems leave room for coordinated mastery.
Pro Tip
Treat retreat commands as seriously as attacks. Pulling the Cobuns out of danger on the correct beat preserves a run far more reliably than trying to finish every enemy with one extra combo.
