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 tense arcade run where you dodge monsters and collect pearls while trying to survive as long as possible.

What players say

Players call BeachRun a low-effort desktop clone of Subway Surfers. Many say it is overpriced at $25 and only worth buying on deep sale for easy achievements. The gameplay is a simple endless runner where you dodge obstacles on a bike, lasting only about an hour. The pixel art style and soundtrack draw mixed reactions.
