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 classic Pong game with fresh twists, where each level introduces quirky modifiers and boss fights, making the familiar feel pleasantly unpredictable.

What players say

Players praise this free pong variation as a short, chaotic blast with modifiers, boss fights, and multiplayer that gets hilarious. Some find the modifiers on the mild side, but the consensus is it is a fun way to spend 30 minutes.
