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 2D runner where you race, grapple, and blast opponents off-screen in a chaotic scramble to stay ahead.

What players say

Players adore SpeedRunners for chaotic local multiplayer, calling it a friendship-ending blast. Online is nearly dead, especially for new ranks, and the few regulars have thousands of hours. The skill ceiling is enormous once you master slides and the grappling hook, but progression past that is undocumented.
