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 demolition derby where every collision feels brutal and unpredictable, mixing arcade fun with punishing physics.

What players say

Players love the destruction physics and the weighty simcade handling, but many are frustrated by aggressive AI that single out the player and by the rubberband catchup mechanics. The multiplayer chaos of driving a bus in reverse is a highlight, while performance issues and a forgettable soundtrack draw complaints.
