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 fast and frantic free-to-play platform fighter that emphasizes quick, competitive bouts.

What players say

The game plays smooth with crisp movement and excellent netcode, but has only two characters and minimal content in its early access state. Players praise the projectile mechanics and unique movesets while noting the bare-bones training mode and small player base.
