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 brutally fast arcade test of precision where you fling magic spears at surreal techno-viking enemies to a great soundtrack.

What players say

Players love the art, music, and humor, but opinions split on the difficulty. Some find the sudden spikes frustrating, while others enjoy the challenge of improving at throwing speers at absurd enemies like fish and seals. A common complaint is the lack of mid-level saves.
