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-paced, neon-infused brick-breaking gauntlet that feels like a relentless score-attack challenge.

What players say

Players are sharply split on this modern Breakout. Many praise the challenge mode and find it addictive, but just as many say the controls are finicky, especially with a gamepad, and that controller support is broken. The power-ups completely change the core loop, which some players like and others find excessive. Co-op is widely considered poorly designed.
