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

Racing anti-gravity vehicles on massive, twisting tracks suspended in the air feels both precise and reckless.

What players say

Players call this a straightforward F-Zero clone that runs on Linux and supports split-screen for the price, but they warn about janky controller setup and a brutal AI that actively rams into the player. Reviews split on whether the difficulty is fun or unfair.
