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 and endlessly varied twist on classic Pong, where surreal power-ups and obstacles turn each match into a frantic, laugh-filled party game.

What players say

Players enjoy the many creative modes and themes, making this more than plain Pong, but many complain the paddles move too slowly and controller support is lacking. Sentiment splits on difficulty: some find it satisfyingly hard, others call it frustrating. Bugs like settings not saving and laggy ghost or snake modes are noted.
