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

Blasting through colourful arenas in a frantic race against the clock to smash everything and climb the leaderboards feels like an over-the-top game show of pure arcade chaos.

What players say

Players love the frantic, time-limited score attack loops and hand-drawn art, but some find the difficulty punishing from the start. Many compare it to the developer's other titles, noting it lacks some of their addictive quality. There are mixed reports about controller support.
