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 chaotic party game where you frantically stomp opponents while quickly building and reshaping the arena on the fly.

What players say

Players praise the local multiplayer as great couch fun for up to six players, but the game is local-only with no single player mode. Setting up online play requires IP addresses and many find it broken or dead. The level editor is fast and simple, though some find building blocks too limited.
