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-paced, classic arcade-style brawler where you and a friend punch and kick through post-apocalyptic city streets with pixelated charm.

What players say

Players praise the combat, character variety and roguelite twists, but the campaign is short and levels feel repetitive. Co-op has persistent bugs like desync and freezes, and many note the lack of invincibility on knockdown makes getting swarmed frustrating, especially on harder difficulties.
