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 fast, arcade-style boxing brawler with over-the-top opponents and repetitive punching action

What players say

Players call this a difficult Punch Out clone where enemies take too many hits and have unfair advantages. Some praise the simple controls and sci-fi setting, but many say it feels like an unmodernized 1992 game that is overpriced for what it offers.
