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.

What players say

Players are hooked on this simple but punishing arcade game, praising its polished feel and the drive to beat their own scores. The game is overflowing with unlockable characters and backgrounds, though unlocking them all can feel grindy. Many players compare it favorably to mobile versions they already played for years.
