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 classic brick-breaker arcade feel with escalating power-ups and a satisfying blast-through progression.

What players say

Players say this arkanoid clone has terrible controls, both keyboard and mouse are sluggish and unintuitive, and no menu options for sound or controls. There is no way to share user-made levels, and bugs like an unbeatable third level were never fixed. A few players still enjoy the level editor, but most call it a waste even at a low price.
