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 breathless, high-speed balancing act where every spin and trajectory must be timed perfectly to survive endless obstacles.

What players say

A fast-paced arcade score chaser where players orbit a sun, collecting green items and dodging red ones. Players are split on whether the circular motion and speed are exhilarating or nausea-inducing, and many note the repetitive music and lack of a training mode.
