ALiBAT is a 3D Rozen Maiden fighting game made by Dream Toys Factory where the player can pick from any of the dolls to play as and compete in the Alice Games. Players have to dash around the stages and collect doll cases which contain randomized magic attacks (each tailored for the different dolls) which they use to attack.

The game lets you choose from one of the different dolls and fight in various rounds against the other dolls in the Alice Games from Rozen Maiden. There's only 3 buttons - magic, dash, and jump.

You can only attack with magic, which you have to get by dashing around the maps and picking up the doll cases. Each doll case has a randomized magic in it, which each girl having their own sets of attacks.

Once you beat the game, you unlock a secret character - Detective Kunkun! Time for the true Alice to win.....

At one point the game even had online servers, where you could fight against others. Whenever you win a game (even in the standard Arcade mode where you fight against bots), you earn EXP for you and the doll you were playing on. This was a relic of the online feature, to show other players how much time you've put into the game, rather than an actual leveling up system.

It's a pretty fun game and the music is stellar. There's a fully voiced opening theme song and ending theme song, with each stage also having different music.
