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, arcade-style tank duel with non-stop explosions and power-ups in local multiplayer.

What players say

Players enjoy the arcade tank combat and local multiplayer, calling it a worthy homage to Atari's Combat. However, persistent controller bugs, a locked resolution, and a broken local multiplayer mode frustrate many, and the lack of online play limits its appeal.
