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, retro arcade football game with simple one-button control and physics-driven passing and shooting.

What players say

Players compare it to Sensible World of Soccer and Pro Evolution Soccer in 2D, praising the fast gameplay and deep customization. However, reviews consistently report game-breaking bugs, especially an offside glitch that freezes the match. Players split on whether the pixel art looks charming or too messy at full screen.
