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, neon-soaked pong game with a retro-futuristic synthwave soundtrack and visuals that evoke an 80s arcade feel.

What players say

Players enjoy the variety of ball types and the campaign's 45 levels with boss fights, though graphics are merely okay and some balls feel impossible to return. It blends Pong with Arkanoid-style mechanics and offers local multiplayer, but one reviewer found it pointless.
