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

It feels like a frantic, paper-filled arcade romp where you can blast through levels with friends or compete in silly versus matches.

What players say

Players praise the soundtrack and papercraft art style, but many finish the main campaign in under an hour. Local co-op gets a mention, though bugs like stuck moon buggy levels and missing checkpoints frustrate. The mouse and keyboard controls lack rebinding, and some report the soundtrack stopped playing entirely. A few call it an enjoyable arcade throwback, others call it unfinished.
