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 frantic, twitch-reflex gauntlet that demands absolute focus and punishes every mistake instantly, yet keeps you coming back for more.

What players say

Players call Velocibox a punishing twitch runner where death comes in seconds. The speed is tied to your framerate, which catches some off guard. Reviews split on whether the controls feel responsive enough compared to Super Hexagon, with some calling it a memory game.
