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 lively and arcade-like volleyball match with exaggerated cartoon physics and superpowered gimmicks that emphasize quick reflexes and stat progression over realism.

What players say

Players call this a mobile game port that feels simplistic and repetitive over time. It offers short 1v1 matches with superpowers and a career mode, split-screen versus is enjoyed with a friend. But players are frustrated by the lack of online multiplayer, no control rebinding, a sound bug, and a wait-for-crates progression system.
