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, fast-paced arcade driving game where you dodge wacky traffic and grab power-ups to race against the clock.

What players say

Players praise Bumpy Grumpy as a faithful tribute to 80s arcade racing, with snappy controls and a risk/reward scoring system that rewards driving close to other cars. Many were fooled by its fake lost media backstory. Some note the lack of music during gameplay, but the simple reflex-based action keeps players coming back for high score runs.
