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, bouncy arcade basketball game with easy pick-up-and-play controls, cute voxel visuals, and chaotic gimmick-filled courts.

What players say

Players enjoy the game with a friend in local co-op, but note it is local only. They like the player upgrades and customization. Some point out missing features like a buzzer beater and question the advertised multiplayer.
