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 and fun top-down bomb game with a humorous chicken twist, blending simple arcade action with light RPG strategy.

What players say

Players call it an acceptable Bomberman clone with plenty of levels, but nearly half report losing progress due to a save bug. The game starts slow and the menu is awkward, while playing as the default chicken feels bad until you unlock a goose. At its low price, some still recommend it despite the bugs.
