Your body is the controller. Catch Flex is a dance rhythm game that tracks your whole body with one camera: no VR headset, no gamepad, no wearables. Even the menus are gesture-controlled, so you never touch a button. Stand up, clear some space, and dance to the beat. MOVE TO HIT • Slash — cut blocks in the arrow's direction • Catch — snag rings with a hand or foot • Kick — boot the balls, or knock them back with a hand • Stomp — hit the floor marker right on the beat • Slide — ride the trail to the end • Dodge — duck, lean, or step over obstacles Every song mixes the moves differently, and your whole body plays, not your thumbs. VOL. 1: TEN HAND-CHARTED TRACKS Original dance music, 87 to 150 BPM: house, electro, techno. Charted for what a real body can do: everything within reach, no jumping. Play a few back to back and it's a workout. Not chasing a score? Switch on no-fail mode and just move through the whole song. SOLO OR VERSUS Chase the global leaderboards on your own, or go head-to-head in local split-screen Versus. Achievements track you from your first song to an S rank on ten different tracks. MAKE YOUR OWN LEVELS Catch Flex Editor runs in your browser — nothing to install, nothing to buy. Bring any song, chart the moves yourself, and load the level into the game. A level is a single file: open it on your device, or send it over your Wi-Fi from any browser, which is how levels reach a TV. You'll find the editor on the Catch Flex website. WHAT YOU NEED Room to move, good lighting, your full body in frame, clothes that don't blend into the background. If your device has a camera, that camera is enough. If it has none — on a TV or a console — the free Catch Flex: Controller app turns your phone into one over your Wi-Fi. Versus needs one camera or phone per player. Either way, the bigger the screen, the better every move reads from across the room. BODY TRACKING STAYS LOCAL Tracking runs locally, on your own hardware, and camera images are never saved or uploaded. When your phone is the camera, only movement data crosses your own local network — the video never leaves the phone. FREE TO START The first track is yours to keep — play it as often as you like. One purchase unlocks the rest of Vol. 1: nine more tracks, Versus and your own levels — no ads, no subscriptions, yours for good. See you on the leaderboards.

MeloTube is a 5-lane rhythm game where the charts are made by players. Pick a song on YouTube, tap along to make your own chart, and share it with everyone. ■ PLAY • Browse community charts: New, Popular, Most Played, Favorites and your own. Search by chart, song or creator, and filter by genre. • Play the MeloTube Awards — charts hand-picked by the team and featured on the home screen. • Tap, hold, slide into the next lane and flick arrows in time with the music.

Finish a chart in the top 10 and your score is posted automatically. • Race the ghost of any record on the leaderboard and see exactly where you won or lost. • Send reactions to creators whose charts you enjoyed. ■ BATTLE • Real-time 1-on-1 battles on the same chart. Watch the tug-of-war meter and your rival's combo as you play. • Pick a skill before the match — Attack (blind), Silent (mute) or Shake — charge it with your combo, and fire it when it hurts most. • Invite a friend or a recent rival for a rematch. ■ CREATE • Paste a YouTube link and tap the 5 lanes while the song plays. Your timing becomes the notes. • Fine-tune every note: timing, lane, holds, slides and flick arrows. Copy a section to repeat it, and test play before you publish. • Choose a scroll speed and genre, then publish your chart for everyone to play. Drafts are saved automatically. ■ LEVEL UP • Earn XP every time you play. Unlock more than 80 titles and show one next to your name on leaderboards. • Unlock note colors and stages as you level up. • Get notified about new songs and when someone beats your top-3 record. ■ GOOD TO KNOW • Music plays through the official YouTube embedded player. MeloTube never downloads or records audio. • No sign-up required. • Available in English, Japanese, Korean and Traditional Chinese. • Report inappropriate charts and hide creators you don't want to see. • An internet connection is required. Videos that don't allow playback outside YouTube can't be used. • If the timing feels off, adjust Timing offset or switch Graphics to Lite in Settings.
