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 fast-paced arcade mash-up of falling blocks and shoot-'em-up action with simple three-button controls and a cute, retro visual style.

What players say

Players praise the simple but unique mechanic of controlling two paddles independently, which creates a steep difficulty curve that some find frustrating. They consistently note the charming pixel art and excellent soundtrack, and many recommend playing with a friend. A minority complain about hitbox issues and awkward controls.
