    Ratatan is a new rhythm game, brought to you by the original game designer of Patapon, Hiroyuki Kotani 小谷浩之, one of the sound designers of LocoRoco, Kemmei Adachi 足立賢明, and folks who loved Patapon (IGN). Take a look at the trailer and you can see the pedigree quite clearly.

    Here's their original kickstarter (2023) - they're now fully funded and almost ready for full release. They also have the OST free for download already.

    The main link goes to the Steam demo landing page for download. From the Announcement Post:

    Worlds 1 and 2 are playable
    Choose between 4 different selectable Ratatans
    Online Multiplayer supported

    Did you love Patapon? Are you also excited for this game?

    Can’t wait to play this. Was sad I missed the kickstarter when it happened. I really enjoyed patapon and wish it was not a playstation property as it would have been fun on the switch.

      I'm waiting to get off work so I can play. Family members are reporting favourable reviews: it's almost like Hades with more rogue like "boons", and you get to keep some of the loot even if you...

      I'm waiting to get off work so I can play. Family members are reporting favourable reviews: it's almost like Hades with more rogue like "boons", and you get to keep some of the loot even if you fail the stage. Which is excellent because late game farming being repetitive was one of the only weakness for Patapon. The music and sound design, from what I can overhear, are superb.

      Lots of typos and small English text errors lol
