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.

A casual, lighthearted sports game where you compete with friends in a stylized medieval setting, with simple and intuitive gameplay.

What players say

Players love this as a silly party game where petanque meets magic powers, though the tutorial is a bit confusing at first. The community is small but engaged, asking the devs for more maps, modes and a no-magic option. Some find the price steep if buying for four.
