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

The game feels like a lively, slapstick-filled dodgeball brawl where physics and chaotic multiplayer antics keep everyone laughing and shouting.

What players say

Players love it as a chaotic party game with friends, especially the local multiplayer, but note the story mode is very short. Some find the gameplay repetitive or the controls stiff, and several complain the PC version lacks 6-player local support that the Switch has.
