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, technical anime-style fighter with colorful pixel art and accessible special inputs, where freeform physics and rhythm-based combo trials offer a competitive yet playful feel.

What players say

Players praise the rollback netcode and a training mode with rhythm-game-style combo trials. The movement is compared to a platform fighter, and the combo system is free-form. One reviewer calls the AI weak and controls confusing, but that criticism is isolated.
