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

Blasting through arenas in a chaotic, demolition-focused racing game that feels like a raw, high-octane brawl on wheels.

What players say

Players call it a cheap Android port disguised as a PC game, with wooden physics and plagiarized cars from FlatOut. The campaign lasts about 3 hours with 35 arenas and boss fights. For its low price some find it entertaining, especially children, but most say it feels like a student project.
