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 hyper-responsive, minimalist local multiplayer game where players outwit each other by controlling growing lines in tense, fast-paced matches.

What players say

Players say this is a faithful Tron light cycle clone that shines as a local party game for up to four people. It is simple to pick up but lacks AI opponents and online play, forcing players to gather in person. Some note locked resolution and no separate volume controls.
