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 frantic, cartoonish arena brawler where players swing and grapple in chaotic free-for-all combat with power-ups and vehicles.

What players say

Players love the hook-based movement but find the controls hard to master. The single-player campaign is very short, and the game's value comes from local multiplayer with friends. Some say the content is limited and the multiplayer lacks online play.
