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 and addictive arcade racer with retro pixel art graphics and tight controls that makes every lap feel exciting and competitive.

What players say

Players call it a tough micro-machines-style racer with a steep difficulty curve. They like the pixel art and responsive controls but complain about the long fade-in/fade-out between races, the lack of a retry button, the inability to disable only the music, and the dead online multiplayer. Some also find the AI unreasonable.
