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, physics-driven obstacle course where you and a friend constantly overcorrect, slam into walls, and laugh or rage as you are shove the ball with each button press.

What players say

Players split on whether the brutal levels are fun or infuriating, but most agree the co-op is built around stealing control from your partner and getting them killed. The hamster in a ball is genuinely cute, though input lag and sluggish momentum frustrate some. Many recommend it only with a close friend, and those who play late at night regret it.
