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 fast, chaotic beer-league hockey game that feels like the 8-bit era brought to life with simple controls and unpredictable matches.

What players say

Players praise the nostalgic arcade hockey feel and music, comparing it to Blades of Steel, but are split on controls: some find them easy enough, while others say they are uncontrollable.
