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 quick, silly party game where you inflate and push opponents around in mini-game challenges, simple enough for anyone to jump in.

What players say

Players praise YamaYama as a delightfully weird local multiplayer party game with smooth controls and silly animations, but a recurring complaint is that the 'fatsuit' bumping mechanic dominates most minigames and the novelty wears off quickly. Reviewers compare it favorably to Duck Game and Towerfall, though some say it feels abandoned since early access.
