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 chaotic physics playground where players build, wreck, and race in seamlessly synced online matches.

What players say

Players say the online aspect is effectively dead, with empty lobbies and broken matchmaking. The game is seen as a barebones, laggy tech demo built on the Planetoid Pioneers physics engine, with a terrible UI, no key rebinding, and poor performance that worsens as more objects appear.
