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 deliberately janky and absurd physics-based swinging game with crude, satirical humor and fast arcade action.

What players say

Players enjoy the silly momentum-based swinging, comparing it to a janky Spider-Man game. The controls feel awkward at first but become satisfying with practice. Some find it hard to complete without farming for skill upgrades.
