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

You ride endless waves on strange colorful planets while dodging falling meteors and racing to collect crystals before the planet explodes.

What players say

Players are split on whether the loose controls are frustrating or part of the charm. The game takes about an hour to finish its 14 levels, and many praise its unique surfing-on-planets concept with a chill soundtrack, though some note a lack of basic PC settings like resolution options.
