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 lighthearted but tricky physics throwing game with cartoonish Viking characters, absurd humor, and both casual and competitive play.

What players say

Players enjoy the single-player campaign and the physics-based throwing mechanic, though they note the early levels are slow and each level forces you to knock over the king last. Difficulty ramps up significantly for gold medals, but the grind rarely feels excessive.
