Tap the beat, steer the mob
You play a Ratatan, one of the strange animal-like creatures from Rataport, leading a crowd of Cobuns toward The Everafter. You give orders with timed rhythm sequences: point them where to go, when to attack, when to pull back.
You can also move freely, so positioning matters. You decide where to stand to shout the order, where the Cobuns should pile in, and when a retreat saves the run. With four players tapping at once and over 100 characters in the melee, victory sounds like organized chaos.
A cute roguelike built for retries
Rataport is a lively island in a calm sea, full of Ratatans with different looks and personalities who share one dream: reaching The Everafter to meet the Goddess. You fail on the way there. Then you go again.
That loop fits the side-scrolling action and catchy soundtrack, with bouncy 2D animation giving every Cobun some personality. Sessions stay social and straightforward: join up, keep the rhythm, watch the pile-on grow. Losing with co-op friends stings less when everyone missed the same beat.
Good to know?
How does co-op actually work?
Online co-op supports up to 4 players teaming up against the game. You each bring a Ratatan and a squad of Cobuns into the same side-scrolling fights, timing rhythm orders together while the melee scales past 100 characters.
What do you do moment to moment?
You move your Ratatan, listen to the soundtrack, and input rhythm sequences on time to direct your Cobuns. The choice is constant: where to stand, which direction to send them, and when to retreat before the enemy mob closes in.
Can you play it solo?
Yes, singleplayer is supported alongside multiplayer. Solo runs keep the same mix of rhythm orders, free movement, and roguelike retries, just without three friends adding their own missed beats to yours.
