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

Swinging a racquet in VR to break bricks feels intuitive and physically engaging, with escalating challenge through level variations and power-ups.

What players say

Players are split on PingBall VR: some praise its physics and addictive loop, while others find ball speed and trajectory unpredictable. A broken main menu on Quest 2 was never fixed, and several reviews cite frustrating mechanics that casual mode tries to mask.
