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 lighthearted online co-op festival game where you scoop and shoot balls at targets, aiming for prizes in a chaotic yet relaxing arcade setting.

What players say

Players compare this to the older Coin Pusher Friends series and find it has less content, with gems being a grind to earn. The mix of ball scooping and shooting is fun, but the early game is harsh until upgrades arrive. Multiplayer makes the experience significantly better.
