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

Playing Safari Pinball feels like a nostalgic, arcade-style pinball session with a light safari theme and simple mission-based goals.

What players say

Players appreciate the colorful, simple table design and vertical screen support, but many criticize the camera options as either too steep or constantly moving, and note that nudging too often locks the flippers. The developer does not respond on the forums.
