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 frenetic, arcade-style brawler that feels like a playful pirate-themed cartoon with non-stop punching and parrot attacks.

What players say

Players praise the pirate-themed beat 'em up for its smooth controls, catchy soundtrack, and creative stages like underwater beer drinking and a carriage fight. However, some note it is very short, around 40 minutes to an hour, and a few report crashes on the stage clear screen.
