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

You drift and spin through open space, flinging a ball with physics-driven strikes in frantic, zero-G team matches.

What players say

Players say Ruckball is a free Rocket League-like with a fun concept, but the servers are empty and the game feels abandoned by its developers. Most reviews report being unable to find matches at all, making it unplayable for solo queuers.
