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-paced, colorful arcade experience where you bounce a moonball into enemies while managing resources and upgrades.

What players say

Players describe this as a pong-like roguelite set on a circular field where the ball itself is the avatar. The control scheme splits opinion: some find it frustrating and imprecise, while others enjoy mastering it. Reviews note the game is short but offers a looping system for extended play, and praise the pixel art and soundtrack. There is broad agreement on the strong difficulty.
