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, colorful arcade brawler where you and friends fly around on birds, clashing weapons in fast, frantic battles.

What players say

Players often compare this to a modern Joust, praising the eSports tournaments and eight-player arena mode as the standout features. Some note AI-generated art and voice acting, while others say it's too hard for solo play. A few think the $15 price is too high.
