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 low-stakes arcade golf game where you plan each shot and purchase upgrades between procedurally generated holes.

What players say

Players are split on Up to Par. Many enjoy the relaxing vibe and fun co-op, but others find the roguelite progression unrewarding and the difficulty unfair, with only three shots per hole and harsh restarts. Frequent complaints include wonky physics, strange controls, and a price many consider too high for the content. Some praise the developer's responsiveness and the weekly challenge.
