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 blisteringly fast retro-styled platform fighter where one-hit-kills and unique character movesets create chaotic, competitive matches that are easy to pick up but reward mastery.

What players say

Players praise the simple controls and deep fighting, and call it a top-tier local multiplayer game. But the community is tiny and finding online matches requires the Discord. Opinions split on the $20 price and character balance: some say newer characters overshadow the originals, while others enjoy having simple and complex options.
