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 chaotic magical sports game where players fly on brooms, bounce a growing sphere, and blast opponents into chickens in fast, colorful rounds.

What players say

Players praise Wand Wars as a polished local party game that is easy to pick up but gets intense and addictive. The orb mechanics and item-based chaos remind many of Lethal League or Windjammers, while the single-player campaign is noted as surprisingly difficult. A common frustration is the lack of online multiplayer, with some wishing for ranked play.
