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 lighthearted, physics-driven basketball game where players float and dash in a minimalist arena.

What players say

Players enjoy it most in a group of four, praising the music and the satisfying feel of trick shots. But solo players find the AI boring, and the scoring mechanic divides opinion.
