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 relentless arcade challenge where glowing neon tracks demand split-second precision, every run a blistering gamble between triumph and rage.

What players say

Players praise its tight controls and fast respawns but warn it is very difficult and can be rage-inducing. The 90 levels on small spheres start simple and quickly become demanding, though deaths always feel fair. Some criticize the short looping music and overly sensitive stick input, others note a controller is effectively required.
