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 brisk, arcade-style brick breaker where each run feels different thanks to randomized abilities and upgrades, offering quick sessions with replayable challenge.

What players say

Players praise Plong as a fast-paced, addictive roguelike take on breakout that works well in short bursts. The soundtrack and 90s aesthetic are highlights, and the bounces and abilities feel polished. Some mention an epilepsy warning.
