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 racer where you pilot a hoverbike through an open canyon, boosting and pushing through nonlinear tracks to beat ghost times.

What players say

Players describe this as a smooth and addictive racing-platformer where you control a hoverbike with push and pull mechanics. The flow of chaining jumps, dashes, and boosts through open-ended level design is highly praised, and the drum and bass soundtrack is a standout feature. Some find the game too easy, but most enjoy the challenge of hunting for faster paths and topping leaderboards.
