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, fast-paced party game where cute pool balls bounce and kick each other at ridiculous speeds in silly sports and brawls.

What players say

Players say the game is a fun local party game that is easy to pick up, but they criticize the low number of mini-games and the lack of online multiplayer. There is disagreement on the difficulty: some find the gameplay too easy, while others note a learning curve. The game requires a controller, which some see as a limitation.
