The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A chaotic, arcadey battle royale where you fight as a crab, combining silly visuals with frantic multiplayer action.

What players say

Players are split: some enjoy it as a chill evolution game for kids, while others quit over cheaters and server lag. The cash shop is widely called scummy and a Russian-language review accuses developers of playing with cheats themselves.
