MAGNETIC PHYSICS. ZERO BUTTONS. PURE OVERCLOCK.

Cat-alyst Overclock is a high-speed arcade physics runner where movement is your only controller. You are a cybernetic feline charging through high-voltage circuit boards—no action buttons, no mouse clicks, no menus. Just pure, unadulterated momentum!

THE MECHANIC: VECTOR-BASED POLARITY

Your direction of travel dictates your electrical charge in real time:

• UP / LEFT = POSITIVE CHARGE (+ / Neon Blue)
• DOWN / RIGHT = NEGATIVE CHARGE (- / Neon Red)

CONTROLS (STRICTLY MOVEMENT-ONLY)

Action	Control Input
Move / Steer	WASD / Arrow Keys / Left Analog Stick / D-Pad
Actions & Attacks	None! (Rely on physics and magnetic repulsion)
Menu Navigation	Drive into physical room doors or track lanes
Pause Game	Stand still on a Recharge Pad for 1.5 seconds

KEY FEATURES

• 100% Movement-Driven: From starting the game to picking mid-run upgrades, every single interaction uses movement input alone.
• Adaptive AI Level Generation: Circuits dynamically shape themselves around your reaction time and momentum using procedural generation algorithms.
• Vibrant Cyberpunk Pixel Art: Crisp 16-color retro visual style with dynamic pixel particle trails, CRT distortion, and screen-shake feedback.
• Reactive Synthwave Audio: A multi-layered chiptune soundtrack that shifts pitch and layer intensity as your speed hits max capacity.
