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.

What players say

Players describe Chicken Cannon as a brutally difficult game about shooting a chicken from cannon to cannon toward a goal, with no story or explanation. Many warn the difficulty is extreme and progress can take hours, while the low price and low system requirements are praised. Some find the bright, rough graphics painful to look at, and a few report technical issues with starting or display.
