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 gentle, nostalgic re-creation of a classic mechanical arcade game, where you carefully guide a ball into holes for points.

What players say

Players say Rolling Arcade recaptures the classic arcade feel of Ice Cold Beer but is noticeably harder than the original, with controls that can feel sticky or unresponsive. Some love the brutal challenge and simple, clean design, while others find it too punishing and lacking basic options like monitor settings or key rebinding. At a dollar, most consider it a fair deal for short sessions.
