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 chaotic arcade game where you steer an unstoppable line of heroes that feels like a smooth, escalating thrill ride.

What players say

Players praise the nostalgic snake-like gameplay with heroes to unlock, but note the game was abandoned by its developer and lacks cloud saving, so progress can be lost. Opinions split on difficulty: some find it relaxing while others call it an RNG grindfest with no ending.
