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-paced, chaotic party brawler where up to four players compete in physics-based robot fights with simple controls.

What players say

Players call PunchBots a simple, bite-sized local multiplayer party game that is fun for a few rounds with friends, but they warn about the brainless AI, the lack of online play, and broken promises for controller support. The game has been abandoned, has no resolution options, and its five-second music loop grates quickly.
