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 arcade racer where you blast rivals with rockets and slow time to line up precise shots while unlocking gear by climbing leaderboards.

What players say

Players compare the handling to Rocket League but with its own twists like unlimited flip timing and bullet time. The game is a time trial parkour racer with a high difficulty ceiling, especially for three-star runs. Some players note the need for controller tweaks, while keyboard users report input delay.
