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, laugh-out-loud fireball dodgeball match where bouncing projectiles multiply and speed up until the screen is pure pandemonium.

What players say

Players love Lupinball as a frantic local multiplayer party game, with a bullet-hell twist on dodgeball. The community is small but dedicated, and many warn that online multiplayer is dead, so you need local friends. Single player is just score-chasing and gets repetitive.
