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, satisfying loop of smashing bottles, earning money, and upgrading your bat with a light, chaotic sense of progression.

What players say

Players call it a short, satisfying incremental with a great soundtrack and a fast prestige loop. Most finish the main mode in two to three hours, though some say the late normal-mode grind gets tedious unless you reset aggressively.
