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 lighthearted and slightly quirky adventure where luck and quick decisions guide a bouncing ball through pool tables with supportive ball companions.

What players say

Players describe this as a janky and poorly-designed platformer that leaves many enraged. The jumping is imprecise, the timer is too short, and the sound design is grating. Some praise its sincere absurdity, but most say it is not worth even a dollar.
