Juvul made its name developing an innovative electronic music visualization platform starring Cathode, a robotic cat with a TV for a head.<\/p>\n

Now the studio has thrust Cathode into a visually spectacular rhythm-action game, and it\u2019s free of both in-app purchases and ads.<\/p>\n

Cathode\u2019s Journey, available on iOS and Android in both lite and premium versions, is a 3D auto-runner that sees you barrelling through the void along a twisting, undulating platform made of light.<\/p>\n

This infinitely spiraling polychromatic platform is being constructed before your very eyes by a neon butterfly. This is clearly a game that likes to keep things surreal.<\/p>\n

Naturally, stages get trickier as you progress through the campaign, but that\u2019s pretty much the only thing that\u2019s conventional about Cathode\u2019s Journey.<\/p>\n

For one thing, it\u2019s not a straightforward auto-runner, or even a straightforward rhythm-action game. Instead, it\u2019s a whole new type of experience that\u2019s half-duet, half-duel.<\/p>\n

Music, sound effects, and movements all blend into a sort of interactive multimedia symphony. Even time and speed are elastic, dictated by your effectiveness at picking up jewels and avoiding obstacles.<\/p>\n

The controls, meanwhile, are handled with your device\u2019s gyroscope rather than on-screen buttons. This intuitive interface, along with the elastic nature of the gameplay, makes Cathode\u2019s Journey the ultimate \u201cflow state\u201d game.<\/p>\n
