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 chaotic multiplayer arcade game where you grow your train by collecting cars while dodging enemies and yourself in frantic arena battles.

What players say

Players love the core snake-with-power-ups idea, but the game is unplayable because the servers are permanently down and the developer went silent long before delisting. What remains is a mix of praise for the fast-paced, colorful arena modes and frustration over dead multiplayer and brain-dead bots that fill empty slots.
