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 frantic arcade racer where you must complete cartoonishly treacherous lawnmower tracks in 60 seconds while dodging absurd traps and enemies.

What players say

Players say the lawnmower controls are buggy and the 60-second timer makes levels feel nearly impossible. The game has 25 trap-filled tracks, but reviewers report falling through the map when hitting obstacles. Opinions split on whether the chaos is fun or frustrating.
