Along withPush Me Pull You, I gotto finally seewhatMusclecat Showdownwas all about. And. It. Was. Glorious.

You and another muscle bound cat have to strike your owners requested poses, and the person that’s able to do them the best wins. The only controls are with the analog sticks on a controller, with each stick representing your cats glorious arms. That’s it, that’s the entire concept. Super simple, and super fun. Essentially thinkPokemon, but instead of fighting, you’re posing.

The main draw here is the lovely visual style, which was created byAdventure TimeandBee and PuppyCatartistNatasha Allegri. Here’s some snippets of gameplay for you to get a better sense of what the game is all about.

Also when I played the game the controllers were covered in fake fur to mimic a cat. It was weird.
