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 frantic blend of shooting and athletic movement where players dash, slide, and grind to score goals.

What players say

Players say Protoball is a fast-paced movement shooter that blends Rocket League with arena shooters like Quake. It has a high skill ceiling and a helpful community, but the player population is dead and development has stalled, leaving the game unplayable for many.
