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 bright, bouncy, and comedic side-scrolling brawler where you juggle enemies with flashy combos in a vibrant, pixelated city.

What players say

Players love the co-op beat-em-up action and pixel art style, but single-player is a slog. Bosses break out of every combo, the game forces lots of running between repetitive fights, and online lag is a problem. Some players find it boring, others call it an excellent co-op brawler.
