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 high-speed, arcade-style race where you weave through colorful isometric tracks with tight controls and the option to build your own courses for chaotic multiplayer fun.

What players say

Players call it a faithful revival of the classic Sprint arcade racers, with a track builder and multiple modes that add replay value. They are split on the price, and note that the campaign is short and easy, the AI is weak, and there are no car upgrades or nitros. Long-time fans also report that precision controls can be frustrating in time trials and obstacle courses.
