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 frustrating puzzle game where you bounce a ball through obstacles to a techno beat.

What players say

Players describe PING REDUX as a throwback arcade game that mixes puzzle and breakaway mechanics. The three-star ranking and instant retries make it addictive, though the difficulty spikes hard around the asteroid level. The bosses and varied stage designs are highlights, but the controller menu navigation is awkward.
