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

Fast-paced, violent, and cartoony arena duels with low-poly diorama arenas and environmental hazards.

What players say

Players say this is a fast-paced local multiplayer brawler best enjoyed with friends on the couch, with simple controls and matches that last only a few minutes. Many wish for online multiplayer, and opinions are split on the bots being either too easy or too accurate. Some compare it to a mix of Nidhogg and Gang Beasts, but others feel it lacks the depth and unique mechanics of those games.
