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

It feels like a joyous, comedic mess where you toot and flail through songs with absurd freedom and zero pressure.

What players say

Players laugh uncontrollably at the silly sounds and find the humor infectious. The game is deceptively simple: you move a pitch cursor over notes, but the scoring is forgiving and players appreciate the freestyle feel. Long-time players dig into hidden secrets and trombone lore, and many use the TootTally mod for custom songs.
