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 fast, chaotic local multiplayer explosion-filled battle with friends that is both strategic and silly.

What players say

Players love this as a quick local party game that anyone can pick up, with rounds lasting under a minute. Customization unlocks like hats and bombs keep it fresh. There is no online play or single-player campaign, just bot matches and couch sessions.
