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 frantic coffee-break arcade where you dodge lasers and police on a hyper bike in short, brutal bursts of action.

What players say

Players love the unique rubber-band control scheme and split mechanic, but frustration with checkpoint-induced repetition and a punishing final boss is common. The game is short, about one evening, and rewards skill growth. Some note a steep difficulty curve early on.
