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 quick, test-your-reflexes arcade racer where you spin around planets and launch through space collecting gems.

What players say

Players describe Swing By as a simple one-button arcade game where you swing between planet orbits, avoiding black holes. The split-screen multiplayer is the highlight, turning it into a chaotic party game, but single-player is a relaxing high-score chaser.
