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

It feels like a retro arcade game with quick, punchy rounds where you smash enemies off a platform using a bouncing vehicle and choose simple power-ups before each stage.

About

"MOTOS" is an action game released by NAMCO in 1985. Take control of the MOTORSPANNER armored vehicle and ram all the SPACE BEES to knock them off the base. Choose from 2 types of power-up parts before starting a stage to increase your ability to push enemies, or to increase your jumping ability. Try to pick the one that suits that stage!
