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 quick and snappy arcade sports duel that feels like a casual pick-up-and-play battle.

What players say

Players describe Proficient Paddles as a simple Pong clone, with some calling it a cheap asset flip and others enjoying it as a casual time-waster. The difficulty is inconsistent: easier AI modes are beatable, but the advanced AI is considered brutally hard.
