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 race tiny RC cars at high speed, using power-ups to blast rivals and climb through increasingly fast championships.

What players say

Players compare it to Re-Volt and Mario Kart, praising the arcade fun and track variety. Opinions split on physics and polish: some find the driving stiff and buggy, others enjoy the handling. Multiplayer is nearly dead and single-player can get stuck on loading screens.
