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 colorful, fast-paced boss rush that feels like a lively arcade arena brawl with light RPG progression.

What players say

Players enjoy the creative blend of boss fights and crowd-pleasing performances, with a fan system that drives power-ups. The combat is fun but has punishing stun-locks and some frustrating hitboxes, and the soundtrack is widely called generic.
