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 physics sandbox where you casually set off fireworks with playful, cartoonish destruction and lighthearted exploration.

What players say

Players enjoy a sandbox where they can blast fireworks at houses and gas stations with no consequences, often making it a July 4th tradition. The multiplayer and mod support add to the fun, and some note the game runs poorly on old computers.
