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 high-speed arcade rocket racer where tight controls and punishing obstacles demand precision and relentless retries to beat your own ghost.

What players say

Players say the campaign is short but the leaderboard chasing adds replay value. Multiple reviewers mention waiting for multiplayer, which they feel would elevate the game. The rocket controls take some getting used to, but clearing levels is rewarding.
