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 rapid-fire shuffle of bite-sized NES-inspired microgames that feels like a frenetic, lighthearted arcade marathon

What players say

Players describe it as WarioWare meets UFO 50, with short minigames that swap every few seconds and ramp up in difficulty. Many bought it solely to support the ZSNES developer, but found the game itself surprisingly fun. It is in early access, with 40+ games and a shuffle mode. Some say it is a chill grind with weak consequences for mistakes.
