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 and furious arena battle where split-second dodging and ricocheting discs keep the action chaotic and tense.

What players say

Players praise the fast, frantic action and compare it to Bomberman and Towerfall. The single-player campaign is seen as a tough but fair challenge with a charming story, while local multiplayer is where the game truly shines for parties. The soundtrack and retro art style are consistently highlighted as strong points, though a few players find the gameplay repetitive and prefer Towerfall.
