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 lighthearted, bouncy party game of popping your friends' balloons in chaotic arenas with simple controls and a forgiving point system.

What players say

Players describe Battloon as a simple local multiplayer bumper-ball arena game, fun in short bursts with friends but very light on content. The biggest complaint is the lack of online multiplayer, which limits who you can play with.
