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

You wave candy canes in VR to hack and slash colorful flying sweets and fruits while dodging bombs in a cheerful, cartoony candy land.

What players say

Players describe Candy Smash VR as a simple, relaxing arcade experience that's easy to pick up for short sessions. Many compare it to a Fruit Ninja clone, and several say it feels more like a demo than a complete game. Performance and depth are not praised, but its low price earns some goodwill. Reviewers are split on whether the $1 price is fair for an hour of play.
