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

Frantic couch multiplayer where teams work together to control giant robots and bash opponents in chaotic arena battles.

What players say

Players enjoy it as a cheap party game with friends, but are disappointed by misleading advertising (it is 2v2 plus AI, not 3v3) and a lack of content like multiple maps or a campaign. Controller support is limited to four, and the developer has abandoned the game since release.
