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 arcade game where you bounce asteroids off your ship to fight aliens, paired with chiptune music and retro visuals.

What players say

Players say Abstractanoid is a simple brick breaker that feels too slow without holding the space bar to fast-forward. It is very short, around one hour, and levels get repetitive. Power-ups often have negative effects, and many find the game boring despite the good chiptune music and authentic retro look.
