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 boisterous, slapstick party brawler where you and friends fling each other around cartoon backyards with a playful, unfinished feel.

What players say

Players praise Backyard Beans as a fun physics-based brawler that works well online with friends even in early access. They split on the combat: some find it chaotic and hilarious while others say matches feel too random and skill takes a backseat. Many hope for more arenas and modes, and fans of the Rocket Beans community enjoy the themed costumes.
