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

An intense, high-speed arcade basketball game where players on hoverboards use grappling hooks to dunk and steal in chaotic multiplayer matches.

What players say

Players compare it to a Rocket League clone for basketball, but many report it feels unfinished with awkward tether controls and persistent crashes. The small player base is a problem, though some enjoy the arcade action with friends or against AI bots.
