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

Driving a neon hover car through twisting tracks, slinging around corners with a grapple hook and boosting past friends in short, intense races.

What players say

Players praise the controls and neon retro visuals, but nearly everyone says the game has very little content: only a few tracks and vehicles. Many compare it favorably to F-Zero and Wipeout, though, and call it fun with friends. A few also note it is a student project and hope for more updates.
